UPVC machines are specialized equipment used in the manufacturing of UPVC doors and windows, converting raw PVC profiles into finished products through cutting, welding, milling, and assembly. These machines are critical for ensuring precision, consistency, and efficiency in production. Below is an overview of the main types of UPVC machines, their functionalities, and key considerations for manufacturers.
Core Types of UPVC Machines
1. UPVC Profile Cutting Machines
Function: Accurately cuts UPVC profiles to specified lengths and angles (e.g., 45° miters for window corners).
Types:
Single Head Cutting Machine: Suitable for small-scale production, offering manual or semi-automatic operation. Cuts up to 100mm profiles at speeds of 2–5 m/min.
Double Head Cutting Machine: High-precision, fully automatic machines for mass production. Features two cutting heads for simultaneous cutting of identical parts, with speeds up to 10 m/min and positioning accuracy within ±0.1mm.
Key Specs: Blade diameter (450–600mm), cutting angle range (-45° to +45°), and CNC control for complex geometries.
Price: $5,000–$20,000 for single-head models; $20,000–$80,000 for double-head CNC machines.
2. UPVC Welding Machines
Function: Joins UPVC profiles using heat and pressure to create strong, seamless corners for windows and doors.
Types:
Manual Welding Machines: Basic models for small workshops, requiring operator intervention to position and weld parts.
Automatic Welding Centers: High-speed machines with multi-station setups (e.g., 4-head welders) for simultaneous welding of all four corners of a window frame. Features preheating, welding, and trimming in one cycle.
Key Specs: Welding temperature (240–260°C), pressure range (0.3–0.8 MPa), and cycle time (30–60 seconds per joint).
Price: $10,000–$30,000 for manual machines; $50,000–$150,000 for automatic multi-head systems.
3. UPVC Milling and Drilling Machines
Function: Creates slots, holes, and recesses for hardware (locks, hinges, handles) and drainage systems.
CNC Milling Machines: Computer-controlled machines that can mill complex shapes with high precision. Equipped with multiple spindles for simultaneous drilling and milling.
Key Specs: Spindle speed (2,000–6,000 RPM), working area (e.g., 1,500x500mm), and tool changers for versatility.
Price: $20,000–$60,000 for single-spindle models; $80,000–$200,000 for multi-spindle CNC machines.
4. UPVC Assembly Machines
Function: Assembles welded frames with glass, hardware, and seals, ensuring proper alignment and tightness.
Features: Automatic glass placement, sealant application, and hardware insertion. Some models include quality control checks for air and water tightness.
Price: $30,000–$100,000, depending on automation level.
Integrated Production Lines
Fully Automatic UPVC Production Lines: Combine cutting, welding, milling, and assembly in a single workflow, ideal for large-scale manufacturers. These lines can produce 50–100 windows per hour, with minimal manual intervention.
Key Components: Unloading conveyor, profile cutting center, welding robot, milling station, and assembly table.
Investment: $200,000–$1,000,000+ depending on capacity and automation.
