An automated production line is generally an organic whole composed of conveying equipment and professional equipment. It is a highly automated production line based on electromechanics, information, imaging, and the network. There are many types of automated production lines in actual applications according to different products. Grandseed will share the types and characteristics of automated production lines below.

LED fluorescent lamp automated production line

1. Disc rotary synchronous automatic production line

Features: The typical structure is a disc. It is operated by cam, 4~24 work, simple structure, low investment, reliability, high precision, high productivity, durability, and small space occupation. The assembly space is limited, the process is limited, the operating speed is determined by the slowest process, and any process failure will cause the whole machine to stop running, and the flexibility is low.

Application: The number of processes is small; the product has a large and stable batch; the time of each process is similar.

2. Straight-in synchronous automatic production line

Features: It is usually driven by a cam-operated indexing device. The transmission method can be divided into circular water surface type and upper and lower track type. The conveyor belt is usually a chain type or a steel belt type. In recent years, the conveyor belt coupling parts have been replaced by finishing parts instead of stamping parts, and are connected by ball bearings. The number of continuous processes is large, simple, reliable, reasonable precision, durable, and large assembly space. The movement speed is determined by the slowest process. Any process failure will cause the whole machine to stop running. The flexibility is low, and the cost and land occupation are more than discs. Rotary transmission mechanism.

Application: The number of processes is more than that of the disc rotary assembly mechanism; the operations can be arranged on both sides of the product, and the product has a large and stable batch; the time of each process is similar.

3. Conveyor belt type non-synchronous flexible automatic production line

Features: The precision pallet is driven by the production and delivery belt between the workstations. In recent years, the application of less expensive commodity parts has gradually been widely used. The flexibility is much higher than the synchronous assembly line; the number of processes is not limited; this kind of automated production line is easy to combine between single process and multiple processes, adapts to different products in the product family, easy to combine manual and automatic processes, and is easy to gradually realize automation. It is easy to be affected by other process changes. When there is a storage area, a short-term failure of a process will not affect the work of the entire system. The assembly space is large and there are stereotyped transmission components. The speed is low (generally 20 operations per minute), the equipment cost per unit product is high, and it takes up a lot of space.

Application scenarioses: high flexibility requirements; low productivity requirements, a set of systems to complete the assembly of a family of products, moderate changes in product structure characteristics; a large number of processes, and the time of each process is not close.

4. Balanced beam plate type non-synchronous flexible automatic production line

Features: The pallet moves at high speed. The balance beam module can be single or multiple, single or multiple and unloaded in the buffer area. The balance beam positions the pallet at the short pins of each process, and the longer process is in the buffer Area. The flexibility is much higher than the synchronous conveying device, the productivity is high, the positioning accuracy is high, the number of processes is not limited, the number of processes is easy to adjust, the use of the transmission control system can adapt to the assembly of different product families; it is easy to combine manual and automatic processes, and it is easy to gradually realize automation. When there is a storage area, the failure of a certain station will not affect the continuous operation of the entire system. This kind of automatic assembly line has a large assembly space. There are stereotyped transmission parts. At the beginning of the equipment investment is large, and it occupies a large space.

Application scenarioses: high flexibility requirements; low productivity requirements, a set of systems to complete the assembly of a family of products, high assembly accuracy and product performance requirements; moderate changes in product structure characteristics; a large number of processes, and the time of each process is not close.

Five, continuous motion transmission automatic production line

Features: Continuous motion transmission automated production line assembly when products are moving, typical motion is uniform speed, all parts maintain the same speed and precise relative position. The speed is extremely high and it is suitable for all mechanical assembly operations. When multi-part assembly, accurate calibration is very complicated, the initial investment of equipment is very large, the maintenance of multi-part assembly is difficult, and the system is difficult to change or convert.

Application: The continuous motion transmission automatic production line has a large production batch; the product is very stable, and the number of parts is small; the flexibility requirements are not high.

Six, robot assembly unit automatic production line

Features: The typical structure of this automated production line includes a robot, parts feeding device, work station, tools, frame and control. Multiple robot assembly units can be connected through the buffer area to form a more complex system, which is highly flexible and easy to change. And conversion, can economically complete complex movements, can complete many continuous operations, high precision, reliability, uncomplicated mechanism, small footprint, and generally slower. If multiple robot assembly units are used to increase productivity, the investment is relatively large.

Application: This kind of automated production line has high flexibility requirements; productivity requirements are not high, and a set of systems completes the assembly of a family of products; products are often changed reliably and quickly; product structural features change moderately; assembly accuracy and product consistency are high; The movement is complicated in some stations.
