What Is The Function of The Frame Machine

Frame machines are primarily utilized for sheet metal repair, correction of car beams, body deformation adjustments, accident repairs, and more. Depending on the platform structure’s material, frame machines can be made from l-section steel, rectangular pipe, or manganese steel plate. They feature single-side lifts and vertical lifts, equipped with ramp plates to facilitate easy vehicle access on and off the platform. With a variety of combinations and sheet metal clamps, maintenance is more flexible, and the applied force can also be customized. This equipment is essential for any automobile repair shop. Let’s delve into the functions of the frame machine in detail.

 Upward Drawing

Certain parts of the car body may bend downward due to impact forces. Some frame machines are equipped with cable-stayed arm devices that can perform upward tensile corrections. However, these arms provide limited tensile force and are suitable for stretching the roof or parts requiring minor corrections. For larger sections needing more tensile force, a hydraulic jacking rod can be used for assistance.

 

 Depression Repair

Certain sections of the car body may deform upwards and require downward stretching via the car frame machine’s pull-down device. In some cases, the chain (guide ring) on the tower column must be at its lowest position. The body is supported by padding underneath, and the top end is pulled down using the pull-down device.

 

Distortion Repair

When the body is distorted, one vehicle diagonal might be higher or lower than the other. To repair this type of damage, the vehicle’s middle four points should be fixed on the correction platform. The lower side of the body is stretched upward with the frame machine; on the higher side, pull down the fixture, if needed, and use padding. Body size measurements are used to correct the height accurately.

 

 Repair of Diamond Deformation

In diamond deformation, the frame forms a parallelogram. Towers or hydraulic tappets are placed at each end of the frame machine to adjust the height of the traction chain, attaching it to the car similarly to front-end stretching. One side of the frame machine is fixed to prevent noise and lateral movement, stretching and correcting the frame according to the deformation’s direction and size.

 

Stretch of Shock Absorber Support

Collisions can deform the shock absorber support, necessitating correction by the frame machine to maintain vehicle performance. The shock absorber’s special fixture is secured on the support and corrected by connecting it with the tower column, chain, sheet metal tool, or hydraulic jacking rod.

 

Using a frame machine to correct damaged automobile girders is a routine task in vehicle maintenance.
