What To Consider When Using A Truck Frame Machine

The primary task of the truck frame machine for body correction is to restore a damaged vehicle to its original form and reinstate the metal to its lattice state. Generally, a series of single-direction pulls can level and straighten a trolley car. However, for monocoque bodies, multiple pulls are needed, meaning four or more pull points may be pulled simultaneously during one leveling and correction process. Professional clamps are essential to prevent further damage to the body structure during the pulling process, and proper correction procedures must be followed. Let’s delve into the key considerations.

Before and after traction correction

Safety precautions are paramount when using the truck frame machine. Failing to adhere to them may result in unsuccessful calibration or damage to the equipment. Internal components like seats, gauges, and mats should be protected both inside and outside the vehicle before correction begins. Remove external parts of the body and use cotton cloths or other protective measures to prevent abrasion. If the paint surface is scratched, it should be repaired to prevent rust. After completing body correction and repair with the auto girder corrector, a final inspection must be conducted promptly. This inspection has two scenarios: If the repair does not involve fixed devices, a final measurement inspection should compare the body and frame dimensions to the manual to ensure correction requirements are met. If the repair uses fixed devices, measurement is unnecessary, and only the alignment of body control points with fixed devices needs to be checked.

 

Drawing process

Before starting the stretching operation, inspect the chain and pull ring of the truck frame machine to ensure they are intact and undamaged. Tighten the bolts when stretching the tower column, and ensure the guide ring height does not exceed the red warning line. Check the chain and locking mechanism, making sure the chain is not twisted. The chain should be straight, and the guide hand wheel should be unscrewed. If the tension is high, secure the vehicle on the platform with a chain fixed in the opposite direction of the tension.

 

Complete calibration equipment

After using the frame machine, the area should be cleaned promptly. Sheet metal tools, measuring tools, and clamps should be wiped clean and stored properly. Avoid self-maintenance to prevent irreparable damage, and do not adjust the oil pump overflow valve without authorization.
