How JCXLC Automation Equipment Helps Factories Achieve Efficient Automated Curtain Hook Production

In the home decor market, curtain hooks are essential accessories, and their production efficiency and cost control directly affect a company's order delivery capacity. JCXLC Automation Equipment offers a modular and highly compatible automation solution tailored to the specific production process of curtain hooks. By combining core equipment with flexible configurations, JCXLC helps factories achieve full-process automation from wire forming to finished product welding. Below, we explore the application value of JCXLC equipment in detail, step by step.

 

1. Wire Forming: Multi-Shape Processing with One Machine

The main structure of a curtain hook consists of an outer U-frame, an inner U-frame (with a head), and the hook itself. Traditional production requires multiple machines to work together, but JCXLC’s 180 Mechanical Buckling Machine offers a multifunctional mold design that allows a single machine to complete all forming tasks. This machine supports quick mold changes, and by adjusting the mold combination, it can flexibly switch between different production needs. This not only saves equipment procurement costs but also reduces transfer time between processes.

 

Alternative Solution: For maximum efficiency, a combination of two 180 Buckling Machines and one 120 Machine can be used. The 120 machine is specially designed for handling special specifications or high-precision parts, making it ideal for small-batch orders across multiple product types. However, this option requires careful consideration of equipment investment and mold management costs.

 

2. Welding: Efficient and Energy-Saving Spot Welding Solution

After wire forming, welding the hook structure is a critical step. JCXLC recommends the 63KW High-Power Spot Welding Machine, which offers the following key advantages:

Dual Point Synchronous Welding: The machine can weld two points simultaneously in one operation, improving efficiency by 50%.

Precise Temperature Control: This ensures that the wire does not overheat and deform, maintaining the strength and smooth appearance of the hook.

Low Energy Consumption: Designed for high-frequency welding, this machine reduces energy consumption by 20% compared to traditional models.

This machine requires no complex programming, and workers can operate it after brief training, making it ideal for standardized order production.

 

3. Process Comparison and Selection Advice

Solution Type	Equipment Configuration	Applicable Scenarios
Single 180 Buckling Machine	1 x 180 Buckling Machine + Mold	Large-Volume Production with a Single Specification
Multi-Function Combination	2 x 180 Buckling Machines + 1 x 120 Machine	Flexible Production of Multiple Product Types, Small Batches
Standard Welding Solution	1 x 63KW Spot Welder	Final Welding Process Combined with Forming Equipment

Decision Points:

If the product variety is limited and the orders are stable, a single 180 buckling machine combined with a spot welder is the most economical option.

For high-speed responses to multi-specification orders, the combination solution, though requiring a higher initial investment, offers lower long-term overall costs.

The spot welder’s power should match the production line’s cycle rate to avoid becoming a bottleneck in production capacity.

 

4. Comprehensive Benefit Analysis: Four Dimensions of Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement

Efficiency Improvement:

A single 180 Buckling Machine can complete 300-400 forming tasks per hour. When paired with the spot welder, overall efficiency increases by 60%.

The combination solution allows parallel processing, further reducing cycle times, making it ideal for urgent order deliveries.

 

Quality Control:

Standardized molds reduce human error, increasing product pass rates from 85% with traditional methods to over 98%.

The spot welder ensures precise welding, preventing issues like poor or missed welds and extending the hooks' lifespan.

 

Cost Savings:

The payback period for equipment investment is approximately 8-12 months (based on a daily output of 10,000 units at ¥0.5 per unit).

Reduced mold wear costs, with the 180 model’s mold life reaching up to 500,000 pressings.

 

Flexible Expansion:

The 180 model supports quick mold switching, allowing adaptation to market trends.

The spot welder’s adjustable power can accommodate welding requirements for higher-strength materials in the future.
