In the field of furniture hardware, in the production process of sofa legs, welding machines are the core connection equipment, and their selection and operation have a decisive influence on the quality and production efficiency of sofa leg products. This article aims to provide a detailed description of welding machine characteristics and their applicable scenarios to help choose the sofa leg production process.

There are many types of welding machines, each of which has its specific uses and advantages. Mastering these different types of welding machines and their applicable scenarios is of great significance for the selection of sofa leg production technology.

Spot welding machine

Features: The spot welding machine applies pressure on the contact surface of the workpiece through two electrodes, and uses instantaneous high current to locally melt the contact point to form a weld.

Application scenario: Mainly used for welding thin metal plates, such as thinner materials used in sofa leg design or structures composed of multiple hardware accessories. This welding method has the characteristics of fast speed and high weld strength, and is suitable for automated welding mass production.

Seam welding machine

Features: The seam welding machine is similar to the spot welding machine, but its electrode is a roller, which can achieve continuous welding. The weld shape is controllable and the welding process is stable.

Application scenarios: Suitable for occasions where continuous welding is required, such as tubular or high-sealing sofa leg products. Seam welding can ensure that the weld is uninterrupted, thereby improving the sealing performance and structural strength.

Laser welding machine

Features: Laser welding machine is a common welding process in the production of sofa leg hardware accessories. It uses a high-energy-density laser beam as a heat source to achieve high-precision and high-speed welding. Applicable to various metals and some non-metallic materials.

Application scenarios: Laser welding has high precision and a small heat-affected zone, which is suitable for complex structure sofa leg hardware and high-requirement welding.

Arc welding machine

Features: The arc welding machine melts the welding material and the workpiece through the high temperature generated by the arc to form a welding joint. According to different welding processes, it can be divided into manual arc welding, gas shielded welding, etc.

Application scenarios: Commonly used for hardware with high hardness and thick metal materials. Arc welding technology is mature, has a wide range of applications, and is relatively simple to operate.

Resistance welding machine

Features: The resistance welding machine applies pressure to the workpiece through the electrode, and at the same time generates heat through the current flowing through the workpiece, so that the contact surface melts to form a welding joint.

Application scenarios: Suitable for welding of plates and pipes. Resistance welding has fast welding speed and high efficiency, and is suitable for mass production.

When choosing a welding process for sofa leg production, it is crucial to understand the specific needs and application scenarios of the product. Different materials require different types of welding machine processes.

Steel: Suitable for arc welding machines (such as MIG/MAG welders) and spot welding machines;

Aluminum alloys: Due to the high thermal conductivity of aluminum, pulse welders or laser welders are usually used;

Stainless steel: TIG welders (tungsten inert gas shielded welding) or laser welders can be used because they require high-quality welds;

Metal types: Different metal materials require different welding machines;

Non-metallic materials: Such as plastics, require special plastic welding machines;
