Manufacturing power, STEP robots in action. In Yongkang, Zhejiang Province, STEP and its partners jointly wrote a new chapter of "centering on the industrial cluster area, flourishing the county economy and building the world's advanced manufacturing base".
Zhejiang, China's outstanding county economy; Yongkang, the veracious "cup capital," produces 70 percent of China's thermos cups, and the local government is committed to "building an advanced manufacturing base in China and the world." Yongkang thermos cup industry leader, adhere to the "well-known brand OEM + own brand" strategy, pay attention to product quality, constantly explore the whole production process of advanced manufacturing technology and technology, in intelligent manufacturing, willing to invest and change; Enterprises with low-end brand positioning will focus on cost control and have urgent needs for automation in the processing of thermos cups such as water rising, pulling and polishing.
Master the STEP of robot core technology, implement the strategy of "deep cultivation and subdivision", and take the lead in launching the most concerned metalworking line intelligent manufacturing solution in Yongkang Thermos cup industrial cluster area.
This scheme uses STEP SD7/900, SA6/1400, SR20/1700 and other robots, with flexible jaws, to achieve non-destructive handling of the thermos cups at different stations, reduce the overall manual intervention, improve the product yield to more than 99%, and effectively reduce the steel loss.
On the metalworking line of a thermos cup head enterprise in Yongkang, there are dozens of STEP robots operating according to the program, accurately placing the raw material steel coils on the conveyor belt into the operation table of the next process. This produces a semi-finished product every six seconds.
"It used to take 18 workers to make a production line, but now it only takes two," said the head of a local thermos cup company. The fully automated production line ensures consistency of product quality and improves production efficiency, which is estimated to increase by about 37%."
At present, the metalworking wire is only a link in the intelligent production of thermos cups. Vacuum cup shell, inner tank, vacuum bottom processing, the whole process has more than 20 procedures.
Subsequent STEP will with partners hand in hand, for the vacuum welding, stretching, polishing, packing and so on the production line to provide diversified robot application selection, provide enterprises with whole plant planning services, implementation of the production line turnkey project, continue to increase local keep-warm glass industry clusters of intelligent manufacturing level, power yongkang create advanced manufacturing base in the world.
