What is the bus welding line?
The welding of the large bus body is a crucial step in the production process, and the quality of body welding plays a significant role in determining the overall quality of large buses. The large bus body consists of various components such as the bottom skeleton, left/right peripheral skeleton, front/back peripheral skeleton, and top peripheral skeleton. These six major skeletal pieces are welded together to form a sturdy framework for the bus body.
The process flow is as follows: prefabrication of six-piece skeleton → group welding of body hexahedron → supplementary welding → welding of all kinds of small parts → grinding of weld seams, skeleton correction → skeleton pre-treatment as a whole → (welding of the inner skin → pre-treatment of the inner skin →) welding of the left/right side of the skin → welding of the front/rear perimeter of the skin → researching and installing all kinds of door parts → sent to the painting workshop for the body top coating.

The skin roll forming process effectively improves the surface quality of the body and reduces the amount of scraping, reducing production costs, while the body can be achieved at the same time the lower edge of the skin of the body of the large curvature of the modeling needs, the process is one of the current domestic and foreign passenger bus technology and process development trend.
Bus Six-side Body Skeleton CNC Assembly Equipment
The six-piece skeleton group welding is the key process in the production of bus body welding, where multiple structural components are welded together to form a sturdy and functional framework for the bus body. This equipment consists of a body frame positioning mechanism, left/right side frame clamping mechanism, front/rear periphery positioning mechanism, top periphery lifting device, and power system. The body welding assembly generally has a side enclosure production line, frame production line, main line, etc. The production line is equipped with welding equipment as well as tools, fixtures for positioning and clamping, a quality inspection and control system, safety protection devices, and a transport system. Bus body skeleton assembly is a common production process used by bus manufacturers in mass production, and it is also the main way to improve the efficiency of the production line. The six-piece skeleton group welding equipment meets the two production processes of chassis and shell body and can be used for on-line production (when using the on-line production process with chassis, it needs to be equipped with additional chassis lifting and positioning devices). This process requires precision, adherence to welding standards, and rigorous quality control to achieve optimal results.
Bus Skin Tensioning Equipment
Bus skinning equipment is specialized equipment used in the bus manufacturing process. In bus manufacturing, the skin usually refers to the outer covering plate or shell of the vehicle, which is used to cover and protect the internal structure and components of the vehicle. Bus skin is an important platform to show the quality, appearance, and modeling of the outer surface of the body, its surface flatness determines the quality of the bus and the effect of body modeling, high-quality skin can effectively improve the performance of the body sealing, noise reduction, and strength, and can ensure that the welded area is flat and wrinkle-free to enhance the quality of welding. Skin production is a key production process in bus manufacturing.
