First, what is this thing in the end? Why can you save millions of factory rent?
"Isn't a T just three directions put together?" -Wrong! It's hidden in the intersections
Let's imagine: What's the biggest problem in a factory? The assembly line is twisted, the T-shaped roller line.Essentially an intelligent intersection of three conveyor linesIt can automatically divert goods at intersections. It can automatically divert goods at intersections, allowing materials to go their own way like a traffic police officer directing traffic.
- Space JuicerSaves 40% of land compared to traditional parallel production lines, and reduces the rent of the factory building (data of a factory: 800m2 out of 2,000m2);
- triage guru: Main conveyor line + left and right branches forThree-way seamless diversion.;
- Flexibility: Switch the flow direction at any time according to the order demand, go left today and run right tomorrow.
give me a chestnut: An automobile factory with it, parts sub-assembly line length from 80 metres to 45 metres, the warehouse into a "logistics overpass"!
Second, the three major design lifeblood, wrong one all finished
"How come intersections don't crash?" --Core Look at these three organs
▎Steering magic: conical roller set
- Why do you use it?: Ordinary straight roller turns will jam the goods! Tapered design allows the outside to turn faster and the inside to turn slower;
- The Parameter Mystery::
- Turning radius ≥ 600mm (small parts) or 1200mm (pallets)
- Tilt angle ≤15° anti-rollover
- Exclusive Highlights:.Stainless steel conical rollerThe food factory is clean and free of dead ends.
▎Triage Brain: Photoelectric Sensor Array
- working logic::
- Scanners to read cargo labels
- Sensor positioning to intersections
- Cylinder pusher "snaps" out of the dispenser.
- containment::
Real-time infrared monitoring
Emergency stop response 0.5 seconds
▎Power Heart: Dual-Drive Linkage System
| drive method | Applicable Scenarios | Money Saving Tips |
|---|---|---|
| chain drive | Heavy cargo (vehicle chassis) | Low maintenance costs |
| O-Belt Drive | Light-duty express (express box) | Energy consumption down 30% |
| drum motor | Clean room (pill bottles) | No lubrication and no oil leakage |
Third, the selection of the pit guide: white into a teacher in seconds
"What size to buy?" --Remember this set of golden formulas
Roller length = Cargo width + 50mm
- Courier boxes are 400mm wide, choose the 450mm roller.
- Pallet width 1200mm? Must be 1250mm Roller
Drum Diameter vs Load Capacity
- 38mm: Carry 25kg (small parcels)
- 76mm: Carrying 200kg (machine parts)
- Rubber-coated rollers: plus friction for anti-slip (a must for slopes!)
Material Life and Death
- Carbon steel spray moulding: the king of cost-effective (for warehouses)
- Stainless steel: food and pharmaceuticals just in time
- Teflon Coating: Chemical Plant Corrosion Resistant Carrier
lesson learnt through blood and tears: An electronic factory to save costs with ordinary carbon steel, six months after the rust jammed, production stopped for three days loss of millions!
Fourth, the king of the actual combat: four industry earn over the case
"Really get your money back?" -- Look how loud the bosses are laughing.
▎ E-commerce sorting centres
sore point: Daily sorting of millions of pieces during promotion period, manual sorting error rate 5%
programme::
- T-line + dynamic scalesAutomatic three-way lane splitting
- Knurled belt non-slipHyaluronic acid mask with zero breakage
results-based: Wrong score rate reduced to 0.1%, six months back to the capital
▎ Automotive Welding Line
sore point: Mixed flow production of door components, logistic cross-fighting
programme::
- Heavy duty double sprocket T-lineLoad capacity 2 tonnes per pallet
- Laser positioning + RFIDThe different models of vehicles are precisely separated from each other.
results-based: Production line shortened by 60 metres, saving 5 million in annual logistics costs
▎Beverage Filling Plant
sore point: Bottle line/can line operated independently with high vacancy rate
programme::
- Food Grade Stainless Steel T-WireSlope 12°
- frequency conversionFlexible deployment of two lines of production capacity
results-based: Equipment utilisation of 95%, saving investment in a production line.
Airport baggage systems
sore pointInternational flight baggage misdirected to the domestic lounge
programme::
- T-cord with barcode identificationAutomatic domestic/international/transit
- Silent rubber-coated rollersNo travellers in the middle of the night.
results-based: False transfer rate zeroed from 0.8%
After fifteen years of logistics planning, I've seen too many companies use the T-line as an "advanced turning device". In fact, its real power isLet the plant grow in three dimensions! As your raw materials slide into the main lane from the east, semi-finished products diverge to the west, and finished products go south again straight to the loading area -The whole factory runs like clockwork..
Nowadays, land is more expensive than gold, saving a square metre is an extra 10,000 dollars. But remember: even the best T-line is afraid of amateur command. Don't wait for the workshop chaos into a spring railway station before beating your chest: "Should have listened to the engineer!"
