简体中文 Frankly speaking, the first time a novice white choose suspension conveyor line is not especially confused? Looking at a bunch of parameters and manufacturers propaganda, full of questions.How the hell do you pick this thing out without stepping in a hole?Don't worry, let's use the big truth today to break open the kneaded say - grasp the 5 key points, not only can avoid waste, production line efficiency can also rub up!
First of all, understand: what the hell are you transporting?
The first step in the selection process is to look at your own "cargo". This is not a casual look at the end of the matter:
- weightsLight as an electronic component (a few kilos) or heavy as a car part (a few tonnes)? This directly determines whether you choose light chain or heavy chain. For example, a small hardware factory with light wire is enough, but if you are engaged in machining, chain strength is not enough? You'll have to give up in a minute!
- Size and shape: square boxes, or crooked shaped pieces?Irregular workpieces require special spreadersOtherwise, you'll fall off in the middle of the road and you won't have time to cry.
- Scratch-free surface: Precision instrument housings? That's the way to go.Runs like an old dog.of the conveyor line, shake a scratch and scrap it.
| Type of workpiece | Recommended Conveyor Line Types | Pitfall Warning |
|---|---|---|
| Small lightweight (<50kg) | Lightweight Suspension Chain | Don't be cheap and choose a poor quality chain, break the chain to repair to the collapse of the |
| Heavy and bulky (>500kg) | Heavy Duty Ball Bearing Chain | Not enough weight on the track? It's not going to get stuck. |
| Fragile/precision parts | Accumulation conveyor with buffer | Ordinary wire vibrates a lot? Received all defective products |
Second, production and rhythm: do not let the conveyor line drag!
"How much work can I do in a day on this production line?" --Conveying capacity has to outpace productionOtherwise it's all clogged up on the conveyor belt!
- Size of productionFor automotive factories with thousands of pieces a day, you have to go with theHigh-speed continuous operationof thread; for small workshops with dozens of pieces, plain thread is more than enough.
- production rhythm: What if a workpiece has to be sent away every 30 seconds and the conveyor line starts up slowly as a result?Straight up jamming the whole thread!Gotta go with the model that starts and stops fast.
- peak outburst: What to do with the surge of orders in the peak season? AdvanceReserve 20% Load BalanceDon't wait for a blowout to curse.
You might want to ask.: "Is the manufacturer's claim of 'maximum delivery capacity' reliable? "
-There is a lot of water! Lab data ≠ actual working conditions.Remember to ask for real casesIt's best to take a look at a factory that has used his equipment (Page 5 and Page 8 emphasise the need for a site visit).
III. Workshop environment: can the place be carried?
Conveyor lines aren't invulnerable-It can't stand up to the environment.::
- High-temperature drying room/paint spraying room：普通链条进去就生锈，得用耐高温不锈钢链（贵但省维修费）；
- 电镀酸洗车间：腐蚀性气体弥漫？防腐涂层+全密封轴承是保命配置；
- 潮湿粉尘区：电机不防潮？分分钟短路冒烟！选IP65防护等级以上才稳妥。
lesson learnt through blood and tears：某厂为省钱选了普通线装进电镀车间，结果半年链条锈死，停产换线损失够买三条防腐链！
四、空间布局：别让输送线变”拦路虎“
车间寸土寸金，输送线得会“见缝插针”::
- 高度够高: Directly on多层悬挂线，空中运货地面照常干活；
- 场地狭窄:.环形轨道+紧凑转弯比直线省地儿；
- 对接设备：输送线出口必须对准涂装机入口，差一厘米都得人工搬——费时还容易碰伤（网页1、网页5都强调布局匹配）。
五、自动化程度：现在不搞，以后加装哭死你！
别觉得“先买基础款，以后再加自动化”——改造比买新的还贵!
- 未来要上机器人：直接选带PLC接口的智能线，不然机器人干瞪眼接不上料；
- 想实时监控状态:.传感器+中控屏现在就得装上，等故障堆成山再查？停产损失够买十套系统；
- 多工序切换:.积放式输送线能让工件暂停流转，搞分拣、装配爽到飞起（网页8提过积放功能）。

搞悬挂输送线选型，新手最容易栽在“只看价格”和“硬塞参数”上。隔壁厂老张的教训够深刻吧？图便宜买了条低速线，结果产量翻倍时全车间等输送带，老板气得直跳脚！说真的，按这5步走——先摸清家底，再卡死环境、空间、自动化需求，最后匹配产能——选出来的线用十年都不落伍。 下次有人跟你吹“我家线最便宜”，直接甩这句：”兄弟，省下的钱够我停产赔订单吗？“
