1. Equipment Overview
The KR18 Mexico Hotline Machine is a highly efficient and automated steel reinforcement welding device designed to connect longitudinal and transverse steel bars into a grid structure using resistance welding technology. The "KR18" in its name typically refers to the model or series of the equipment, while "Mexico Hotline" may indicate a specific model or configuration tailored for the Mexican market.
2. Equipment Structure and Components**
Pay-off Rack: Used to store and release longitudinal steel bars (usually in coil form).
Straightening Mechanism**: Straightens the coiled steel bars and feeds them into the welding system.
Welding Host: Includes a welding transformer, electrodes, and a control system for welding longitudinal and transverse steel bars into a grid.
Cutting Device: Automatically cuts the welded mesh panels to the set length.
Collection Table: Used to collect and stack the finished mesh panels.
Control System: A PLC or CNC system controls welding parameters, grid dimensions, and production speed.
3. Working Principle
1. Pay-off and Straightening: Coiled steel bars are released from the pay-off rack, straightened by the straightening mechanism, and fed into the welding host.
2. **Welding and Forming: Longitudinal and transverse steel bars are connected into a grid using resistance welding technology in the welding host.
3. **Fixed-length Cutting: The welded mesh panels are automatically cut to the specified length.
4. **Collection and Stacking: The finished mesh panels are transferred to the collection table for stacking or packaging.
