Electric Cabinet Frame Making Machine

Feb 06, 2024

An electric cabinet frame making machine is an automated equipment used to manufacture metal cabinet frames and enclosures for electrical control systems and distribution boxes. This equipment allows efficient, precise, and customizable fabrication of control cabinet housings to meet exact specifications.

Overview

Electric cabinet frame makers create properly shaped enclosures from flat or coiled sheet metal through processes like punching, cutting, roll forming, and bending. Modern CNC electric cabinet framing machines offer flexibility, efficiency, and consistency in producing high quality frames in medium to high volumes.

Equipment Types

Type Description
Punching Machines Use programmable punching tools and dies for creating holes and cutouts
Shearing Machines Employ blades to cut sheet metal to required lengths or shapes
Bending Machines Utilize programmable dies to bend metal sheets into required angles and forms
Combined Machines Integrate multiple processes like punching, cutting, bending in one system

Electric Cabinet Frame Making Machine Working Process

The typical fabrication process on an electric cabinet frame making machine follows continuous stages:

  • •Material feeding: Sheet metal stock is linearly fed into the machine
  • •Forming: Punching and cutting to shape cutouts and holes as per programmed patterns
  • •Bending: Metal is bent at specified angles to form the cabinet framework
  • •Customization: Additional options like welding, grinding, drilling can customize the frames
  • Design and output: Formed cabinet shell with desired dimensions and features

Common Materials

  • •Mild steel sheets
  • •Stainless steel sheets
  • •Aluminum sheets
  • •Galvanized iron sheets
