The production process of storage racks is a complex and meticulous process involving multiple key steps. The following is a detailed analysis of the production process of storage racks:

I. Needs Analysis

This is the starting point of the production process, the main purpose of which is to clarify the key information of the rack's use, load-bearing requirements, and spatial dimensions. This information will serve as the basis for subsequent design and production.

II. Design

The design process is divided into three stages: preliminary design, detailed design, and design review:

1.  Preliminary Design : Based on the results of the needs analysis, conduct a preliminary structural design and select appropriate materials and processes.

2.  Detailed Design : Optimize the preliminary design, determine the specific dimensions, connection methods, etc. of the rack, and draw detailed structural drawings.

3.  Design Review : Review the design to ensure its feasibility and rationality, and avoid unnecessary modifications and adjustments in subsequent production.

III. Raw Material Procurement and Inspection

According to the design requirements, procure suitable raw materials, such as steel (cold-rolled steel, hot-rolled steel, etc.), aluminum, and wood. During the procurement process, pay special attention to whether the quality, specifications, and quantity of the materials meet the design requirements. After the raw materials arrive, strict inspection is required to ensure that their quality meets the production standards.

IV. Cutting and Forming

Use a shearing machine to cut the steel into the required size and shape. This process needs to ensure accuracy and quality to avoid affecting subsequent welding and assembly. At the same time, the cold rolling forming process needs to further process the steel plate into the required shape and size.

V. Punching and Sizing

1.  Punching : Use special punching equipment to punch the required holes in the steel plate. The size and position of the punching need to be designed according to actual needs for subsequent welding and assembly.

2.  Sizing : Perform sizing processing on the steel plate, that is, accurately measure and mark the dimensions. At the same time, it is also necessary to perform end-face processing, trimming, and polishing the edges of the steel plate to make its surface smoother and flatter.

VI. Welding

Weld the cut, formed, and punched parts according to the design requirements. The welding quality directly affects the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the rack. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the welding quality and process. Commonly used welding methods include arc welding and gas shielded welding. After welding, the weld needs to be polished and trimmed to improve the appearance and durability of the rack.

VII. Correction and Adjustment

After welding, adjust and optimize the structure of the rack to ensure that it will not deform or tilt during use. This step is usually performed by professional technicians, who will conduct a detailed inspection and adjustment of the overall structure of the rack.

VIII. Surface Treatment

Treat the rack for rust prevention, corrosion prevention, fire prevention, and beautification. Common surface treatment processes include powder coating, spraying, and electroplating. Among them, powder coating is a commonly used treatment method, which uses electrostatic spraying to evenly attach solid powder coatings to the surface of the rack, and then heat curing to form a flat and bright coating. This step can significantly improve the corrosion resistance and appearance of the rack.

IX. Assembly and Debugging

Assemble the welded and surface-treated materials according to the design requirements. During assembly, pay attention to the connection firmness and accuracy of each component to ensure the overall performance and use effect of the rack. After assembly, it is also necessary to conduct preliminary inspection and adjustment to ensure that the rack can operate normally.

X. Inspection and Packaging

1.  Inspection : Conduct quality inspection of the completed racks, including appearance inspection, dimension inspection, load-bearing test, etc. Ensure that the quality of the racks meets the design requirements and usage standards. Unqualified racks need to be reworked or scrapped.

2.  Packaging : Qualified racks will be packaged using shockproof, moisture-proof, and rust-proof measures to ensure that they are not damaged during transportation. After packaging, the racks can be prepared for shipment.

The production process of storage racks is a complete process from needs analysis, design, raw material procurement and inspection, cutting and forming, punching and sizing, welding, correction and adjustment, surface treatment, assembly and debugging to inspection and packaging. Each link needs to strictly control quality and process to ensure the quality and performance of the final product.
