Design Phase

Requirement Analysis: Determine the size, shape, and performance standards of the protective cover based on client needs or equipment requirements.
CAD Design: Use CAD software for detailed design of the protective cover, generating 2D or 3D drawings to ensure precise matching with the machine structure and operating trajectory.

Material Selection

Material Type: Choose materials based on different environmental requirements; common materials include **steel plates, stainless steel, aluminum alloy**, or special fabrics (like heat-resistant fibers, PVC) for flexible covers.
Thickness and Hardness: Select appropriate thickness and hardness based on machine operation strength and environment to ensure sufficient protection without affecting machine operation.

Material Processing

Cutting: Use **laser cutting**, **plasma cutting**, or **CNC shearing machines** to precisely cut steel plates or other materials according to design drawings.
Bending and Shaping: Employ **CNC bending machines** or other machinery for bending to form the required shapes like flat, arc, or cylindrical.

Welding and Assembly

Welding: For hard materials like steel plates, use **TIG welding** or **MIG welding** to join structural parts.
Riveting or Bolt Connection: In some cases, bolts or rivets are used for connections, especially in structures that need to be disassembled later.
Frame Installation: Some covers require internal frames for added strength and support, which will be assembled with the cover shell.

Surface Treatment

Polishing and Grinding: The surface after welding or processing usually requires polishing and grinding to remove burrs and slag, ensuring a smooth finish.
Corrosion Treatment: Depending on the environment, perform **plating**, **painting**, or **powder coating** to enhance corrosion resistance and wear resistance, especially for covers used in humid or corrosive conditions.
Heat Treatment: Some materials undergo **heat treatment** to increase strength and durability.

Quality Inspection

Dimensional Inspection: Precisely measure the dimensions of the protective cover to ensure perfect fit with the machine equipment.
Strength and Durability Testing: Test the load capacity, impact resistance, and wear resistance of the protective cover to ensure it does not deform or damage over long-term use.
Appearance Check: Ensure even surface treatment with no scratches or bubbles.

Installation and Debugging

Pre-assembly: Sometimes trial assembly is conducted in the workshop to ensure good matching of the protective cover's parts with the machine's interfaces and guides.
Installation Debugging: Install the protective cover on the machine and conduct actual operation debugging to ensure it does not interfere with the machine's motion trajectory and effectively protects key components.

Packaging and Shipping

Protection Processing: Finished protective covers are usually packaged to prevent damage during transport; rust-proof oil or protective film may be used as necessary.
Shipping and Installation Guidance: Deliver the finished product to the client's site and provide detailed installation instructions or technical support to ensure correct installation and use.
