简体中文 Does your production line often have to stop for adjustments because of product size changes? Every time you switch products, you have to spend half an hour to adjust the equipment? Hey, this kind of trouble in the packaging, logistics workshop is too common. But now it is not the same, by motor-driven belt width adjustment technology, can make the conveyor line like magic to automatically adapt to different sizes of goods. Today we will break open and crumble to talk about this!The "magic weapon" for production line upgrading.Where the hell is the bull.
I. Why do we have to make the belt "bendable"?
The traditional conveyor line has a fixed width, and when it comes to different sizes of gift boxes, mobile phone boxes and parcels, you either have to change the equipment or manually adjust the position by screwing the screws, which is time-consuming and prone to be adjusted crookedly. What is the result? Light box stuck, heavy line downtime, capacity directly off a large section.
And motor-driven adjustable belt conveyors are, at their core, just one sentence."One production line, all the way to the department store.". For example:
- Delivering palm-sized mobile phone boxes in the morning, cutting to half-metre-wide gift boxes in the afternoon.Automated in under a minute..;
- The logistics sorting centre mixes up parcels of all sizes.No need to stop and wait for adjustments.;
- When cleaning and sterilising food factories.The belt is reduced to its narrowest point, leaving no residue on the edges..
To put it bluntly, this technology is flexible manufacturing "basic skills", without it to talk about intelligent production lines are false.
Second, manual, electric, servo-driven - three kinds of regulating programme big PK
Don't think that "adjustable" are all the same, here is a lot of deeper. Let's make a list, directly compared to show you:
| Comparison Project | manual adjustment | Electrically adjustable | Servo motor drive |
|---|---|---|---|
| operating method | Handwheel + screw, manual rotation | Normal motor + gear | Servo motor + forward and reverse screw |
| Adjustment precision | ±5mm, easily skewed | ±2mm or so | ±0.5mm, absolutely parallel |
| tempo | Slow (3-5 minutes) | Medium (1-2 minutes) | Fast (10-30 seconds) |
| stability | Easily loosened, requires repeated calibration | occasional lag | With guide locking, 0 deviation |
| Applicable Scenarios | Low-frequency adjustments for small workshops | Medium-sized production lines | Intelligent production line with high frequency switching |
Speak human.Servo solutions are expensive, but the downtime saved pays for itself!.
Third, servo motor + double screw: what makes it accurate like a ruler?
The principle is not really mysterious, but the design is really clever. Take a look at a patented solution:
- core motivation: Oneservo motorDisliked on the outside of the conveyor line, once started, the speed, steering and displacement are all controlled;
- transmission mechanism: the motor is connected to theFirst positive and negative screws--Note the "forward and reverse threads"! Thread one left and one right into the two bar holders;
- synchronised movement: As soon as the motor turns, the left-hand section pushes the left seat outwards and the right-hand section pulls the right seat inwards.Two seats instantly reverse panningWidth in seconds;
- Anti-crookedness Tips: Afraid the two seats are out of sync? Add anotherSecond Forward and Reverse ScrewThe first one is connected to the first screw with a belt, and the two screws rotate in synchronisation.
→ Result? It's like two people pulling on a rope.Uniform force with no deflection.Why do I have to use a servo motor?Ordinary motor a power failure on the skidding car, servo motor comes with encoder, say stop, say stop, say move a few microns on a few microns. This kind of "pointing where to hit" nature, is suitable for the workshop on the precision of life.
Fourth, save people, land, electricity - you have to be able to calculate this account
- save sb.: A logistics warehouse measured, manual adjustment of a 25 minutes, servo system30 seconds auto-completeThe company saves 480 hours of labour in a year;
- space-saving: One adjustable line replaces multiple fixed lines.Cut the land directly in half., particularly suited to the plant's gilded ground;
- Provincial maintenance: Traditional manual mechanism screws are prone to dust accumulation and jamming, servo systemFully enclosed + automatic lubricationThe failure rate fell 80%.
Even better, scenes like stamping lines and food factories can play "alignment"- The inner and outer belt groups are independently adjusted, narrow workpieces are fed in the centre, wide workpieces are braced for full feeding, even the guide plate is saved.
V. Note to novices: do not step on these three pits
- Blindly chasing full automation: If you're just tuning it once a day, a manual screw + handwheel is more cost-effective, cheaper and more resistant to building;
- Neglecting to clean the design: The food factory must be chosenFlat belt + non-grooved guideOtherwise, you'll be fined for hiding dirt;
- Saves the guiding body: Adjustment mechanisms without guides are bound to become crooked after a long period of time.Double guideway + sliderIt's the precision that counts.
Remember.Depending on the needs to choose a solution, not the more expensive the better, but the more appropriate the better.
write at the end
Honestly, the motor drive width adjustment is not a black art, but theIt is precisely the key jump from "rigidity" to "flexibility" in the production line.Especially now the proliferation of small-volume custom orders. Especially now the proliferation of small-volume custom orders, today do toy cars, tomorrow change the toolbox, the production line if you can not "improvise", the competition is a real disadvantage.
So yeah, the mills that are still manually adjusting widths should really look up-All the time you save is money, and all the accuracy you improve is word-of-mouthThe sooner you do the maths, the better.
