The principle and use of sheet metal repair machine

Oct 16, 2024

Sheet metal repair machines are efficient and versatile equipment specifically designed to repair sheet metal components of automobiles, motorcycles, and other metal products. The working principle of these machines is based on the heat generated when electric current passes through metal sheets, which is sufficient to melt the metal locally, thereby achieving the purpose of repair.


### Detailed Principle

The core principle of a sheet metal repair machine is to utilize the thermal effect of electrical resistance. When electric current passes through a metal sheet, the resistance of the metal causes the current to produce heat at the point of contact. This heat is enough to melt the metal sheet locally, making the metal softer and easier to shape. By precisely controlling the magnitude and duration of the electric current, the sheet metal repair machine can perform delicate repair work on metal sheets.

During the repair process, the sheet metal repair machine typically has two electrodes, one fixed on the vehicle as a reference point, and the other used to contact the area that needs repair. By adjusting the voltage and current, the repair technician can precisely control the stretching and shaping process of the metal sheet, restoring it to its original shape.


In addition, sheet metal repair machines also have multiple functions, such as medium melting welding, spot welding, and carbon rod heating quenching. These functions enable the sheet metal repair machine not only to stretch and shape metal sheets but also to perform welding and heating treatments, such as welding washers, studs, bolts, star-shaped solder pieces, etc., as well as metal contraction and heating treatments.


### Wide Range of Applications

The application range of sheet metal repair machines is very wide. They can not only be used for the repair of car body sheet metal, such as the dent and deformation repair of doors and bumpers, but also for the repair of sheet metal parts of furniture, electrical appliances, and other metal products.


In the field of automotive repair, the sheet metal repair machine is an important tool for the repair of car body appearance. It can help repair technicians quickly and effectively repair dents and deformations of car body outer panels, restoring the original appearance of the car body. In addition, the welding function of the sheet metal repair machine enables it to perform single-sided electric welding, medium welding, electric heating fire extinguishing, carbon rod patching and heating, steel plate pressing, and other operations, which are crucial in the repair process.


The use of sheet metal repair machines not only improves repair efficiency but also saves time and cost. Compared with traditional repair methods, sheet metal repair machines can complete repair work in a short time without the need to replace the entire part, thereby reducing repair costs.


In summary, sheet metal repair machines provide an efficient and precise solution for the repair of metal sheets through their thermal resistance principle and multi-function operations. Whether in automotive repair or the repair work of other metal products, sheet metal repair machines have shown their unique value and importance.
