Machine for fastening residents to caps in the process of crimping onto metal barrels
The Need:
An automatic ON-LINE assembly line as an integral part of the production line.
Pre-Development Manufacturing Process:
-
Manual extraction of covers from the paint line.
-
Transporting the covers to the coating area.
-
Manual feeding of covers from the cover storage to a large container.
-
Manual feeding of mounts of different sizes from stacking mounts to feed positions.
-
Activating the container and waiting for the coating process to finish.
-
Unloading products from the container.
-
Transporting products back to the production line.
-
Sequential feeding to the production line.
-
Physically demanding, hazardous work in a noisy environment with very low productivity.
-
Dependence on a skilled worker capable of such work.
The Solution:
Development of an automated assembly line as an integral part of the complete production process.
Description of the Solution:
-
Automatic collection of covers from the paint line.
-
Continued transportation of the covers to the assembly machine.
-
Queue management and timing control through control mechanisms according to the specified production output.
-
An orientation station that uses technological means to rotate the cover to the optimal orientation for resident feeding (large and small).
-
Removal of residents from the feeding systems and placing them on the openings in the cover.
-
Transporting the cover beneath the hydraulic press (quiet and adapted).
-
Performing fastening and securing.
-
Releasing the finished cover for further processing in the production line.
-
Controlling and handling stops and slowdowns in a controlled and mechanical manner.
-
High-level control and remote monitoring.
-
Significant increase in efficiency by hundreds of percent.
