In the traditional manufacturing process, manpower is almost always used for loading and unloading of machine tools. This original operation method has disadvantages such as high labor intensity and difficulty in balancing output and quality. In the environment of "replacing people with machines", more and more machining enterprises have started to use robots for loading and unloading materials, which reduces labor costs, improves output and quality, and enhances the competitiveness of enterprises.
The biggest advantage of the articulated robot is that it has strong complementarity and is not limited by the structure of the machine tool.
A domestic company is mainly engaged in the processing of shaft products and provides supporting facilities for large enterprises in the country. Recently, an integrator in Nanjing has been commissioned to automate the transformation of its original loading and unloading materials.
By adopting the Zhongweixing four-axis SCARA robot, the automatic connection of CNC lathes is realized, the operation efficiency of the shaft production line is increased by 40%, the labor cost is saved by 80%, and the product stability and cleanliness are improved at the same time.
Project implementation
After receiving this project, the integrator firstly reviewed and improved the project, and then used the resources of the platform R&D team to form an online project team, and then formulated a preliminary design plan and carried out planning. With good communication, rich experience in R&D and design, and efficient and high-matching process solutions, we quickly won the trust of the customer and quickly entered the project implementation stage.
The projects are organized as follows:
Target:
Installed a robotic automated production line, and the average daily output was increased from 1,600 pieces/day to 2,500 pieces/day.
Program:
Adopt Zhongweixing SCARA robot to complete automatic loading and unloading, and the assembly line automatically transports workpieces;
Realize the signal interaction between the robot and the CNC machine tool through the SCARA robot control system;
Use the gripper developed and designed by the company to grab the material;
Use multiple robots to share assembly line technology to meet production requirements.
Project implementation effect
1. The labor cost is reduced, from the original 8 to 2, from the original operator to the inspector and administrator;
2. Improve production efficiency by 40% compared to manual production efficiency;
3. To improve product quality, the workpieces are transported by the assembly line, which greatly reduces the risk of missing parts and confusion.
4. Intelligent production, with monitoring and alarm functions such as intelligent identification of production line processing dislocation and quality control.
