According to the degree of automation, Wuhan Automatic Assembly Company can be divided into semi-automatic assembly machines, fully automatic assembly machines and automatic assembly lines. The structural layout of the equipment can generally be divided into turntable layout design, loop layout design and linear layout design.
How to choose the appropriate equipment structure layout needs to consider specific production practices, and analyze according to the complexity of the assembly process and the use requirements of the assembly equipment. The turntable layout has the characteristics of compact structure, small footprint, and convenient operation. It is suitable for assembly environment with simple assembly process, stand-alone production, and moderate product size. However, since all the assembly units are arranged around the turntable, the turntable assembly machine has the defects of complicated actuator, inappropriate improvement, and flexible production.
The circular layout is suitable for the assembly environment with moderate assembly process complexity, which can save the use space to a large extent. The circuit layout increases the assembly space of the product on the assembly line, so the assembly function unit can be increased or decreased according to the change of assembly requirements, making the assembly equipment flexible.
Linear layout is mainly used for large and medium-sized automated production and assembly production lines, not only can complete various assembly, inspection, marking, packaging, etc. In the later stage of product processing and manufacturing, it is necessary to integrate product processing, manufacturing, assembly and inspection to complete the fully automated production and assembly process of the finished product. 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, so there is enough space to lay out the realization mechanism and device of each assembly unit. The assembling mechanism can be simplified, and the assembling function unit can be easily increased, decreased and improved. However, due to the complexity of the entire production line, the control and coordination, production rhythm and efficiency of each assembly unit on the production line are required.
