Advanced 800-Program Radiator Tank Clinching Machine

In radiator manufacturing, changing from one radiator model to another often requires adjustments to clinching parameters, tooling settings, and production procedures. When these settings are entered manually, setup time increases and production consistency can be affected.

The Advanced 800-Program Radiator Tank Clinching Machine was developed to simplify this process. By storing up to 800 production programs, operators can quickly recall proven settings for different radiator models, helping reduce changeover time and maintain consistent clinching quality throughout production.

The machine is suitable for automotive radiator manufacturers producing aluminum-plastic radiators for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and aftermarket applications.

       

Plastic tank clinching is one of the most critical processes in radiator assembly. Uneven locking pressure around the head plate can affect sealing performance and increase the likelihood of rework during leak testing.

To improve production consistency, the machine applies controlled clinching force around the tank perimeter. Combined with PLC-controlled settings, operators can repeat the same process across multiple production batches without repeatedly adjusting parameters.

For manufacturers handling both small and large production runs, this helps maintain stable quality while reducing setup-related downtime.

Many radiator factories produce a wide range of vehicle applications within the same workshop. Switching between models can consume valuable production time if machine settings must be adjusted manually.

With storage for up to 800 programs and support for 200 preset models, operators can load previously saved parameters directly from the control system. This is particularly useful for manufacturers producing radiators for multiple vehicle brands and applications.

The machine is designed to be operated by only one or two workers, making it a practical solution for factories looking to increase output without significantly increasing labor costs.

Under normal production conditions, cycle times range from 60 to 80 seconds, allowing production of approximately 150–200 radiators per shift depending on radiator specifications and workflow organization.
