End-to-End Production & Quality Control Process
Raw Pipe CNC Bending & Magnesium Die-Casting
High-carbon steel pipes are CNC bent, or magnesium alloy is high-pressure die-cast into single-piece aerodynamic frames without weld seams.
Robotic Welding & Frame Alignment
Automated multi-axis robotic welders ensure 100% penetration and clean fish-scale welds, followed by precision laser jig alignment.
Electrostatic Powder Coating & Water Decals
Frames undergo shot-blasting, anti-rust zinc phosphate dip, electrostatic powder coat, and UV-baked scratch-resistant clear topcoat.
Semi-Automated Line Assembly & Brake Tuning
Wheels, sealed bottom brackets, child-sized brake levers, and chain guards are mounted. Brakes are pre-calibrated for low hand squeeze force.
85% SKD / 100% CKD Export Packing
Bicycles are packed 85% semi-knocked down (SKD) with quick-release components and assembly tools into 5-ply reinforced export cartons.
