Empowering the Lock Industry with Intelligent Manufacturing

In the bustling hardware manufacturing hub of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, a leading local lock manufacturer has taken a bold step toward high-efficiency production by introducing an advanced 5-axis small 2D CNC iron wire ring bending machine developed by Foshan Jinchun Mechanical Equipment Co.,Ltd. This cutting-edge wire bender and ring making machine now operates at an impressive output of 600–900 lock accessories per hour, offering a critical edge during peak order periods.

Specially engineered for precision metal forming, the Jinchun 5-axis wire ring forming machine features a modular design equipped with high-strength alloy steel molds and a high-precision hydraulic drive system. Its proprietary five-axis linkage technology synchronizes wire feeding, shaping, and cutting processes. The system supports multi-stage pressure adjustment from 0.3 to 1.2 MPa, enabling iron parts to be formed with ±1mm accuracy — setting a new standard in the lock hardware industry.

The integrated PLC smart control panel enables full visual parameter configuration, allowing operators to set wire diameter, ring size, and production specs directly through an intuitive touchscreen interface.

“Since installing this machine, our production cycle has been shortened by 40%,” noted the production manager. “Features like automatic wire break detection and real-time alarms have helped us maintain a stable pass rate of over 98%.”

Taking up just 19.8㎡ of floor space, this compact yet powerful unit combines four major modules: wire feeding, ring bending, cutting, and cooling. It’s equipped with a 1000-line encoder that tracks material extension in real time. Coupled with a smart temperature control system, the machine effectively prevents metal fatigue and ensures a smooth, stable surface finish.

In terms of process innovation, the Jinchun 5-axis wire bending and welding machine excels in material versatility — compatible with round, flat, and square wires ranging from ∅5–16mm. Its dual-stage “pre-forming and fine-calibration” process significantly reduces metal springback, making it ideal for complex lock parts such as hinges and spring plates. A rapid mold-changing system enables switchovers in under 15 minutes, perfectly suited for multi-type, small-batch production runs — a growing trend in the lock manufacturing sector.

Additionally, this iron wire bender delivers outstanding energy efficiency. Optimized hydraulic circuits and an intelligent start-stop system reduce daily energy consumption by 25% compared to traditional equipment. A built-in fault diagnostics module also cuts annual maintenance costs by more than 30%, supporting manufacturers in reducing both overhead and carbon footprints — in line with the global push for greener production.

Today, Jinchun Industrial has delivered intelligent manufacturing solutions to lock factories in 23 regions across China. As the global smart home market continues to expand, this all-in-one 2D CNC wire ring forming and welding machine is rapidly becoming essential equipment for the next generation of hardware producers. From raw materials to finished parts, Jinchun’s solution showcases the innovation and strength of China’s intelligent manufacturing in niche industrial fields.
