Since the automated production line includes a variety of automated special machines and robots, the design and manufacturing process of the automated production line is more complicated. The following Grandseed production line takes a typical automated assembly and testing production line as an example to illustrate its design and manufacturing process. At present, domestic related enterprises engaged in the automation equipment industry usually follow the following steps:

1. Overall scheme design of automated production line

When designing an automated production line, it is necessary to consider not only the realization of the product assembly process to meet the required production cycle, but also the connection between the conveyor system and the special machines and robots of the automated production line in terms of structure and control. Through the optimization of the process and the cycle, The structure of the production line is the simplest, the most efficient, and the best cost performance is obtained. Therefore, the quality of the overall scheme design is very important, and it needs to be carried out on the basis of a thorough study of the product assembly process.

① For product structure, use function and performance, assembly process requirements, workpiece orientation, work

Perform in-depth research on art methods, process flow, required production beats, production line layout site requirements, etc., and may adjust the original process flow of the product when necessary.

② Determine the sequence of each process, the process method, the tact time of each station, the size of the space occupied by each station, the method and main dimensions of the conveying line, the separation and stopping of the workpiece on the material conveying line, the reversing and displacement of the workpiece Wait.

2. Review of the overall design plan of the automated production line

Organize experts to review the overall plan design of the automated production line and find possible defects or errors in the overall plan design to avoid greater losses.

3. Detailed design of automated production line

After the overall plan of the automated production line design is determined, the detailed design can be carried out. The detailed design stage includes mechanical structure design and electrical control system design.

① Mechanical structure design of automated production line

The most time-consuming and workload-intensive work in the detailed design stage is the mechanical structure design, including the design of the special aircraft structure and the design of the conveying system. Design drawings include assembly drawings, component drawings, parts drawings, pneumatic circuit diagrams, pneumatic system action steps diagrams, standard parts list, purchased parts list, machining parts list, etc.

As the industrial division of labor in the automatic machinery industry is highly specialized, in terms of mechanical structure design, not all structures are usually designed and manufactured by themselves. For example, conveyor lines are often outsourced and commissioned by companies that specialize in the production of conveyor lines. Special special equipment such as robots are also directly ordered from professional manufacturers, and then the system is integrated, which can give full play to the core advantages and competitiveness of the enterprise. In this sense, automated production line design is actually a system integration work of various process technologies and equipment products. The core technology is system integration technology, which shows the importance of overall scheme design in the process of automatic machinery design and manufacturing.

② What is the electrical control system of the automated production line?

The main work of the design of the electrical control system of the automated production line is: according to the working process and requirements of the mechanical structure, design the sensor distribution scheme, electrical schematic diagram, wiring diagram, input and output signal address allocations diagram for various positions for workpiece or mechanism detection, For PLC control programs, electrical components and material outsourcing lists, etc., the control system designer must fully understand the design intent of the mechanical structure designer, and have a detailed understanding of the working process of the controlled object.

4. Review of design drawings of automated production lines

After the detailed design of the automated production line is completed, experts must be organized to review the detailed design plan and drawings, and promptly modify and improve the defects and errors found.

5. Ordering of special equipment and components, processing and manufacturing of machined parts

Due to the highly specialized division of labor, in the automatic machinery industry, a large number of special equipment, components, and structural parts have been specially manufactured and produced by related companies. After the design phase is completed, various special equipment and components will be ordered immediately. And the processing and manufacturing of machined parts, the two are carried out simultaneously.

Since basic component manufacturers have gradually moved their manufacturing plants closer to the market area, and many foreign component manufacturers have successively opened production plants in China, the order cycle of automatic mechanical components has been gradually shortened, which facilitates automatic mechanical manufacturers to further shorten the manufacturing cycle.
