According to the degree of automation, Wuhan automatic assembly equipment can be divided into semi-automatic assembly machines, fully automatic assembly machines, and automated assembly lines. The structural layout of equipment can generally be divided into turntable layout design, circular layout design and linear layout design.
How to choose the appropriate equipment structure layout needs to consider the specific production reality, and analyze according to the complexity of the assembly process and the use of assembly equipment. The turntable layout has the characteristics of compact structure, small footprint, convenient operation, etc., suitable for assembly environment with simple assembly process, stand-alone production, and moderate product size.
However, because all the assembly units are arranged around the turntable, the turntable assembly machine has the disadvantages that the realization mechanism is complicated, and it is not suitable for improvement and flexible production.
The loop-type layout is suitable for assembly environments with moderate assembly process complexity and can save the use of space to the greatest extent. The loop-type layout increases the assembly space of the product on the assembly line, so it can increase or decrease the assembly function unit according to the change of assembly requirements. , Make the assembly equipment flexible.
​Linear layout is mainly used in large and medium-sized automated production assembly lines. It can not only complete various assembly, testing, marking, packaging, etc., but also integrate product processing, manufacturing, assembly, and testing. Fully automated production and assembly process of finished products.
​It is suitable for the production and assembly of products with many assembly processes, mature product design and huge market demand. The linear layout occupies a large space, and there is enough space to lay out the realization mechanisms and devices of each assembly unit.
​The assembly mechanism can be simplified, and it is easy to increase, decrease and improve the functional units of the assembly. However, due to the complexity of the entire production line, higher requirements are placed on the control and coordination of the assembly units on the production line, and the production cycle and efficiency.
