How Jinchun Automation Empowers Bicycle Basket Manufacturing

2025-05-06

1. Current Landscape of Bicycle Basket Production and the Need for Automation

Traditional bicycle basket manufacturing is still heavily reliant on manual welding, leading to several common challenges:

Inconsistent weld quality – uneven joints, false welds, or weak spots reduce durability

Production bottlenecks – manual operations cap daily output at under 800 baskets

Labor costs on the rise – skilled welders are hard to find, and training is time-consuming

Jinchun’s automated basket welding machines deliver automated welding, intelligent wire straightening, and precision positioning, offering manufacturers a high-efficiency, low-defect, and cost-effective solution. As a trusted small 2D CNC iron wire bending machine manufacturer, Jinchun provides tailored machines for basket production lines of all scales.

2. Full-Process Automation for Bicycle Basket Production

① Fully Automatic Welding System: 6-Point Synchronized Welding

Model: XLC Series Bicycle Basket Welder

Core Technologies:

Dual 150KVA medium-frequency power supply, short-circuit current up to 40,000A, enhancing weld strength by 30%

Dual-cylinder pressure system + servo motor positioning = weld point accuracy within ±0.5mm

6-point cyclic welding (3 rows on each side), completes one cycle in 3 seconds, increasing efficiency by 50%

Application: Perfect for welding side frames and support wires of bicycle baskets, replacing manual spot welding.

② Intelligent Wire Straightening Module: Integrated, Energy-Efficient Design

Straightening Specs:

Wire diameter range: Φ2mm–Φ8mm, compatible with iron and stainless steel

High-speed shaft at 2400r/min, outputting 20m/min straightened wire

Air usage only 5.84L per cycle, energy-saving and environmentally friendly

Application: Prepares structural wire for welding with consistent straightness.

③ High-Efficiency Workflow: 55 Seconds per Basket

Production Process:

Manual assembly

Jig positioning

Cylinder descends

Welding (3s)

Servo motor shifts position (15s)

Jig rotates 90°

Final weld cycle (20s)

Unloading (5s)

Estimated Output: With a skilled operator, a single machine can produce up to 1,200 baskets per day, delivering ROI in just 3 months. Ideal for ring making forming welding welder applications in mass production.
