Advantages Of Belt Drive In Wire Making Machine
The Wire Forming Machine is efficient automation equipment that produces different types of springs and bending output forms. Initially, it is driven by gears, but in the advanced Wire Forming Machine, it is driven by the belt. So here you may have a big question, why is it transformed from gear to belt, and what are the advantages of using the belt over the gears, In this blog here you will understand the exact reason for the transformation of gear to belt.
As an overseas R&D team decided to study this issue in-depth. After consulting with overseas R&D and design engineers, through in-depth research, we can truly understand why the Wire Forming Machine adopts the advantage of belt drive compared with direct gear drive.
First of all, if the belt drive is not used, the motor must be installed on the wire box. This will undoubtedly increase the weight of the wire box, the weight of the transmission motor, and the weight of the gearbox. By calculation, it will need to increase by 30%, about weight. Furthermore, this will cause the inertia of the wire box to be too large to stop when it is rotating, so you will see that some wire boxes will vibrate; even in the case of an emergency stop, the entire equipment will vibrate.
Secondly, from the rationality of the design of the Wire Forming Machine, it is not the best choice to fix the motor on a wire box that needs to be rotated at any time. At the same time, the motor power line and the code line need to oscillate. Looseness or even internal fractures cause the equipment to shut down for no reason. So you will see that high-end robot often fix the motor at a specific non-rotating position and perform related actions through the belt transmission.
Therefore, in many aspects, the motor of the Wire Forming Machine is not suitable to be installed on the line box. This is also an important reason why the advanced Wire Forming Machine manufacturers adopt the belt transmission method, and the actual application and customers have recognized this method.
After hard research with overseas R&D and design engineers, Our team has also launched a High-Strength Transmission belt-driven Wire Forming Machine to bring more efficient and precise high-end output forms.
