What are the characteristics of automated production lines?

An automatic production line is a production system that automatically completes all or part of the manufacturing process of a product by connecting a group of automatic machine tools and auxiliary equipment in accordance with the process sequence with a workpiece transfer system and a control system. It is referred to as an automatic line.

Advantages:

Products produced using automatic lines should have a large enough output; product design and technology should be advanced, stable, reliable, and remain basically unchanged for a long time. . The use of automatic lines in mass and mass production can improve labor productivity, stabilize and improve product quality, improve labor conditions, reduce production area, reduce production costs, shorten production cycles, ensure production balance, and have significant economic benefits.

The automatic production line automatically operates or controls the process according to prescribed procedures or instructions without human intervention. Its goal is to be "stable, accurate and fast". Automation technology is widely used in industry, agriculture, military, scientific research, transportation, commerce, medical care, services and homes. The use of automatic production lines can not only liberate people from heavy physical labor, partial mental labor, and harsh and dangerous working environments, but also expand human organ functions, greatly improve labor productivity, and enhance human beings' ability to understand and transform the world. .

Application:

In the machinery manufacturing industry, there are automatic lines for casting, forging, stamping, heat treatment, welding, cutting processing and mechanical assembly, as well as processes of different natures, such as blank manufacturing, Comprehensive automatic line for processing, assembly, inspection and packaging, etc.

Automatic cutting lines are developing fastest and most widely used in the machinery manufacturing industry. Mainly include: automatic lines of combined machine tools for processing boxes, shells, miscellaneous and other parts; automatic lines composed of general, specialized or special automatic machine tools for processing shafts, disc rings and other parts; rotating body processing Automatic lines; rotor automatic lines used for processing simple small parts, etc.

1. First determine the cycle time: no matter what kind of product, it must be manufactured within the exact time it must be completed.

2． Unit process: Only for one product, the unit accessories are transported, assembled, processed and materials received.

3. Pilot: Make a device that can visually understand the takt time.

4. U-shaped production line: Arrange the equipment counterclockwise in the order of the project, and have one person responsible for the exit and entrance.

5. ab control: Only when the subsequent project has no products and the previous project has products, the project will be carried out.

6. Light signal: A device that communicates product abnormalities in the production line process.

7. Post-project collection: The products of the production line must meet the needs of post-project.
