Industry-Verified Manufacturing Data (2026)

Frame Structure

Based on aggregated insights from multiple verified factory profiles within the CNFX directory, the standard Frame Structure used in the Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing sector typically supports operational capacities ranging from standard industrial configurations to heavy-duty production requirements.

Technical Definition & Core Assembly

A canonical Frame Structure is characterized by the integration of Base Plate and Vertical Columns. In industrial production environments, manufacturers listed on CNFX commonly emphasize Structural steel construction to support stable, high-cycle operation across diverse manufacturing scenarios.

The rigid structural framework that provides the foundational support and stability for a metal plate rolling machine.

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Frame Structure

Definition
In a metal plate rolling machine, the frame structure serves as the primary load-bearing component that supports all other functional parts including the rollers, drive systems, and control mechanisms. It maintains precise alignment during operation, absorbs mechanical stresses and vibrations, and ensures dimensional stability throughout the rolling process.
Working Principle
The frame structure functions as a stationary support system that resists bending, torsion, and deflection forces generated during plate rolling operations. It provides fixed mounting points for rollers and maintains consistent geometric relationships between machine components under varying loads.
Common Materials
Structural steel, Cast iron, Welded steel plate
Technical Parameters
  • Overall dimensions including height, width, and depth of the frame structure (mm) Standard Spec
Components / BOM
  • Base Plate
    Provides foundation and mounting surface for the entire frame structure
  • Vertical Columns
    Support the upper crossbeam and maintain structural rigidity
  • Crossbeam
    Connects vertical columns and supports upper roller assembly
  • Reinforcement Ribs
    Add structural strength and prevent deformation under load
Engineering Reasoning
0-500 kN static load, 0-50 kN dynamic load at 0.1-5 Hz
Yield stress exceedance at 250 MPa for structural steel, permanent deformation >0.2% strain
Design Rationale: Plastic deformation due to von Mises stress exceeding yield strength under combined bending and torsional loading
Risk Mitigation (FMEA)
Trigger Resonant vibration at 3.2 Hz matching natural frequency
Mode: Fatigue crack propagation at weld joints
Strategy: Stiffener rib addition to shift natural frequency to 4.8 Hz
Trigger Thermal expansion differential of 0.012 mm/°C between frame and foundation
Mode: Frame warping exceeding 0.5 mm/m flatness tolerance
Strategy: Invar alloy inserts at mounting points with 1.2×10⁻⁶/°C CTE

Application Fit & Sizing Matrix

Operational Limits
pressure: N/A (structural load-bearing, not fluid pressure)
other spec: Max static load: 50-500 kN (depending on machine size), Max dynamic load: 30-300 kN, Deflection limit: <1/1000 of span length
temperature: Ambient to 50°C (operational environment)
Media Compatibility
✓ Industrial workshop environments ✓ Metal fabrication facilities ✓ Heavy machinery manufacturing plants
Unsuitable: Marine/coastal environments with high salt corrosion
Sizing Data Required
  • Maximum workpiece weight and dimensions
  • Required machine operational forces (bending moment)
  • Available installation footprint and foundation requirements

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Fatigue cracking
Cause: Cyclic loading from operational vibrations, thermal expansion/contraction, or dynamic forces exceeding design limits, leading to crack initiation and propagation at stress concentrators like welds or bolt holes.
Corrosion-induced weakening
Cause: Exposure to moisture, chemicals, or salt-laden environments causing oxidation, pitting, or galvanic corrosion, particularly in joints or areas with compromised protective coatings.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Visible cracks, especially at welded joints or high-stress areas
  • Excessive vibration or audible creaking/groaning during operation
Engineering Tips
  • Implement regular non-destructive testing (e.g., ultrasonic, magnetic particle) at critical stress points to detect subsurface flaws early
  • Maintain protective coatings and ensure proper drainage to prevent moisture accumulation, especially in corrosion-prone environments
