Structured Manufacturing Data (2026)

Main Frame

Based on aggregated insights from structured factory profiles within the CNFX directory, the standard Main Frame 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 Main Frame is characterized by the integration of Longitudinal Beams and Cross Members. In industrial production environments, manufacturers listed on CNFX commonly emphasize High-strength steel construction to support stable, high-cycle operation across diverse manufacturing scenarios.

The primary structural framework of a slipform paver that provides rigidity and support for all other components.

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Main Frame

Definition
The main frame is the foundational structural component of a slipform paver, serving as the central chassis that supports and aligns the machine's working modules, including the auger, vibrators, and forming shoe. It ensures dimensional stability during concrete placement and paving operations.
Working Principle
The main frame acts as a rigid structural platform that distributes operational loads and maintains geometric alignment of the paving assembly. It moves along the paving direction while supporting the concrete placement and finishing systems.

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Fatigue cracking
Cause: Cyclic loading from operational vibrations, thermal expansion/contraction, or stress concentrations at weld joints or bolt holes leading to crack initiation and propagation.
Corrosion-induced structural weakening
Cause: Exposure to moisture, chemicals, or atmospheric contaminants causing localized pitting, general surface corrosion, or stress corrosion cracking, particularly in high-stress areas or where protective coatings are compromised.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Visible cracks, especially at welded joints, bolt connections, or high-stress transition areas
  • Unusual vibrations, audible creaking/groaning noises, or sudden changes in alignment during operation
Engineering Tips
  • Implement regular non-destructive testing (NDT) inspections using ultrasonic testing or dye penetrant methods to detect early-stage cracks before catastrophic failure
  • Establish a comprehensive corrosion protection program including proper surface preparation, high-quality protective coatings, and regular coating integrity inspections with prompt touch-up repairs

Compliance & Manufacturing Standards

Reference Standards
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems ASTM A36/A36M Standard Specification for Carbon Structural Steel CE Marking for Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
Manufacturing Precision
  • Flatness: ≤0.5mm per meter
  • Hole Position: ±0.2mm
