Hey, haven't you been curious too.Those conveyor belts in factories run fast, in the end how to "turn" themselves?Today we will talk about the "speed chain conveyor line" commonly used by Zhenjiang enterprises, focusing on itssteering blackout technology-How to make the workpiece plate in the assembly line to turn around, circle, to achieve the plane cycle conveyor. Don't be afraid to read, let's break it down for you in vernacular!
First, what is a speed chain? First, understand the "basics".
Simply put, a speed chain is a conveyor belt that "speeds up"! It's a chain with rollers on it, and when the pallets are placed on it, itActually runs 2-3 times faster than the chain itself! Why? The secret is in the structure:
- Roller is bigger than rollerThe chain rollers are small in diameter and the rollers on top of the plate are large in diameter (like a big wheel on a small wheel), so when the plate is turned, it "scuffs" and rushes out.
- Free speed adjustment: Universal Run2-20 metres/minuteLike a factory in Zhenjiang, the production line is adjusted in the5-15 metres/minuteToo fast chain wear and noisy.
give me a chestnut: The chain crawls like a tortoise (speed v), the work plate runs like a hare (speed 2v or 3v), and the production rhythm takes off straight away!
Second, the core of the steering function - the right-angle transplanter (this is the main event!)
Want to turn an assembly line? Chains alone won't do it! It's all down to something called"Right-angle transplanter"The magic weapon. It is commonly used in Zhenjiang production lines to achieve90° steeringThe "mouth" cycle is drawn on a flat surface by the tooling plate!
How does it work? 4 step teardown.
- Parking!The work plate ran into the steering position and wasThe blocker "clicks" and stops it..
- Top it up!In the transplanter.Cylinders "poof" up., lift the work plate off the chain.
- Turning direction!on the jacking platformMotor-driven roller steering, 90° rotation in place.
- Put it down!Cylinder retracted, tooling plateDrops steadily to the vertical chainKeep running on it.
You ask: Does the steering get stuck?
The key to look at two points: first, the jacking height should be enough (to avoid friction), and second, the guide alignment should be accurate (Zhenjiang manufacturers have to take the laser marking calibration when assembling).
Third, the plane cycle conveying, in the end, where is the fragrance?
Why Zhenjiang electronic factories, auto parts factories love to use this trick?Save space! Save costs!
- The work plates do not come off the line: The traditional end of the line has to be manually moved back to the starting point, now theAutomatic recyclingIt saves people and time.
- More flexible layout: Use of4 right-angle transplantersIt will be able to enclose a rectangular circulation line, and dead space in the workshop can be utilised.
- High potential for upgrading: MatchingliftIt still works.Double ConveyorThe small workshop is transformed into a three-dimensional warehouse in seconds.
A real case of a power plant in Zhenjiang::
Originally 10 people moved the boards, reduced to 2 people on patrol after switching to a planar cycle.Annual labour cost savings of $300,000+! The work plate loss rate also dropped by 60%.
Fourth, the steering system's "life gate" - maintenance to avoid pitfalls guide
The steering is strong, butCylinder, stopper, motorThese are the three parts that are most likely to go bad! Must see maintenance tips for newbies:
- Cylinder Maintenance: Monthly checks for air leaks in the air tubes and piston rods.Wipe high temperature resistant grease(Especially in summer when the workshop is over 60°C).
- Blocker Calibration: Don't let it hit crooked!Two manual wrenches per week, check for cracked cushions.
- Motor overload prevention: When turningDon't turn it forward and backward too often.! Motor heat strike is small, burn the inverter blood loss.
- Chain TensionToo loose and you'll skip a tooth, too tight and you'll wear it out fast -Fingers in the middle, drooping 5cm just right.
Master Whisperer::
When shutting down for maintenanceMake sure you turn off the power first.! There are factories with electric adjustable cylinders, the result is that the hand slips and touches the conductive wheel, directly electrocuted to the hospital!
Fifth, a personal view: steering function selected Zhenjiang manufacturers of the 3 reasons
Dry ten years of automation, I am optimistic about Zhenjiang doubled speed chain manufacturers of the steering programme, the key to theThe "localisation" advantage::
- responsive: the production line is stuck?2 hours for an engineer to arrive on site, one day faster than the out-of-town brands.
- customisable: from the smallest work plate opening to the largest steering angle (45°, 180° can be done).Drawings are finalised after 3 rounds of communication.
- save on costs: Local supply chain for aluminium profile guides and cylinders.Total price is 40% lower than imported lineMaintenance parts are delivered on the same day.
And finally, the big truth.::
The steering function appears to be a "turn", but it is actually aCirculating arteries of the smart factory. Pick the right one, and the production line is like opening up a vein - smooth! Efficient! Save money! Zhenjiang enterprises want to upgrade the assembly line? First play this trick to understand!
