How We Manufacture High-Quality Metal Table Legs at GeLan Industrial Co., Ltd.

At GeLan Industrial Co., Ltd., we specialize in creating durable and stylish metal table legsfor various furniture designs, combining modern aesthetics with strength. Here’s a detailed overview of how we craft metal Table Legs, from start to finish, ensuring top-quality results for our customers.

Materials and Equipment We Use

Before diving into the production process, let’s review the key materials and equipment we use to make metal table legs:

Metal Tubing: The main material for crafting sturdy table legs.

Argon Arc Welding Machine: For precise welding tasks.

MIG Welding Machine: Ideal for larger gaps and additional strength.

Band Saw: For accurate cuts.

Angle Grinder: Used for smoothing edges.

Grinding Wheel: To prepare metal surfaces.

Line Wheel: For precise alignment during assembly.

Paint: To add a protective and aesthetic finish.

Bolts, Flat Washers, and Lock Tighteners: For assembly and securing the parts.

Step-by-Step Process of Making Metal Table Legs

Step 1: Design and Model Creation

The first step in our manufacturing process is designing the metal table leg assembly. Our team creates detailed models and blueprints for the legs, ensuring that we have accurate references throughout the production process.

Step 2: Material Collection and Preparation

Once the design is complete, we collect the necessary materials. We use advanced machines, like laser cutters or cutting machines, to divide the metal into required sections and perform bevel cuts. These parts are essential for creating the structure and ensuring the durability of the metal legs.

Step 3: TIG Welding the Inner Rectangle

To start the assembly, we use TIG welding to fuse the inner rectangle of the leg frame. Precision is key here, as this rectangle must be perfectly square to ensure the stability of the final product. This forms the foundational structure of the metal leg assembly.

Step 4: Measuring External Components

After the inner rectangles are welded, we carefully measure the external components of the leg assembly. We use speed squares and planes to double-check that the parts are aligned and meet the exact specifications. Precision at this stage is crucial for the legs to be perfectly symmetrical and strong.

Step 5: Setting Up the Fixture

Next, we place the leg assembly in a square fixture on our assembly table. Using 45-degree angles on both sides, we begin welding the external components. At this point, we ensure everything is aligned correctly before securing them with TIG welding.

Step 6: Connecting the Upper and Lower Parts

Now, we connect the upper and lower sections of the metal leg assembly. Using a jig on a flat reference surface, we ensure that everything remains perfectly square. We secure the parts in place with tacks from the TIG welder and repeat the process on both sides to ensure maximum stability.

Step 7: MIG Welding for Extra Strength

Once the assembly is set, we use a MIG welder to fill any remaining gaps or correct minor deviations in the metal. This step adds strength and ensures the table legs can handle everyday use without compromising their durability.

Step 8: Polishing and Smoothing

After welding, we use a wire wheel to polish the welds and smooth out any rough edges. This step also removes any rust or imperfections on the steel, preparing it for the final finish.

Step 9: Finishing Touches

We then apply a layer of self-etching primer to help the paint adhere to the metal and protect it from corrosion. After the primer dries, we add a few coats of semi-gloss black enamel for a sleek, durable finish.

Step 10: Pre-drilling Holes for Assembly

At this stage, we pre-drill holes in the legs for attachment to the tabletop. These holes are oversized, ensuring the table can expand and contract over time without issues. We carefully place bolts into these holes, securing the metal legs to the tabletop.

Step 11: Installing Protective Furniture Cushions

To protect floors and prevent any sliding, we install furniture cushions on the base of the table legs. These cushions are made from maple wood and are bolted to the legs. We also add self-adhesive felt mats to the cushion’s underside, offering additional protection for your floors.
