"Xu Dong, the performance of these palletizing robots is very unstable, and the joint mechanism often fails. If you must join the PCB board automatic assembly line, it will affect the stability of the entire production line."
Sun Chao frowned and pointed to the palletizing robot that was in trial operation to complain to Xu Zhenming.
He said that this situation is true. Although the chip computing power of Yiming Group's palletizing robot has improved a lot, the accuracy of machining still cannot keep up with the chip computing power.
Therefore, the palletizing robots deployed on this PCB assembly line will affect the normal operation of the entire production line.
"What the hell should I do? Or use manual labor to replace this kind of operating station?" Xu Zhenming also frowned at this time.
This position is very important, mainly used to sort electrical components.The automatic production line of PCB board imported from the United States is replaced by manual work at this position, the action is accurate, and the speed is solved by increasing the manpower.
But Xu Zhenming didn't want to use this method.
Firstly, the labor intensity of the workers in this sorting position is high, which is suspected of sweatshops; secondly, since a domestically-made fully automatic PCB assembly production line is to be established, it is necessary to start a little higher and increase the degree of automation and intelligence.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming frowned slightly and said, "How about using a photoelectric material selection and conversion system here?"
The photoelectric conversion system is actually a form of automatic assembly line, which uses multiple assembly lines to realize the function of automatic sorting.This method has been applied in the later intelligent logistics system, and the effect is also very good.
Xu Zhenming has also seen this kind of automated assembly line in the factory of the intelligent warehouse.Not only that, the PCB automatic assembly line designed by Sun Chao has also used this method of assembly line.
So Sun Chao made it through at one point, "Xu Dong, you mean to change it to that form." As he spoke, he pointed to the end of the overall production line.
At the end of this production line, the finished circuit boards are diverted through the photoelectric conversion system assembly line, and finally transported to the packaging team at the end of the production line.This method is very good, can improve the efficiency of the entire production line, and can also reduce the labor intensity of the workers in the product packaging team.
But if it is used at the head of the production line, the layout of the entire production line may have to be redesigned, and the completion time of the production line will be much longer.
"Yes, just follow that method to design the production line. These palletizing robots will be improved by your technical department." Xu Zhenming nodded.
But Sun Chao still frowned, "Xu Dong, that will affect the development progress of our production line!"
He now has a task, and wants to complete the task Xu Zhenming entrusted to him as soon as possible.If Xu Zhenming's current requirements are followed, I am afraid it will take at least half a month to get a new design.
Hearing these words, Xu Zhenming smiled, "Then produce another PCB automatic assembly production line. Let's test and run this line according to foreigners' methods."
Xu Zhenming had no choice but to make a compromise.In this way, Kaiyuan mobile phone orders can be guaranteed, and Chaoming Manufacturing's order tasks can also be completed on time.
Seeing that the boss is willing to spend money to build two production lines to test, Sun Chao must have nothing to say.He immediately began to make preparations and hurried away with a group of people.
Xu Zhenming sees that the situation here is also good, at least it can be used to produce foreign trade orders for Kaiyuan mobile phones.In this case, he left the factory with confidence.Before leaving, he deliberately went to the workshop where Zheng Cheng was located.
"Report to Dong Xu that the fault of this film automatic exposure machine has been found out. We can debug it tonight and arrange the trial production of the PCB board of the Kaiyuan mobile phone." Seeing Xu Zhenming coming, Zheng Cheng quickly reported the situation with a smile.
Hearing this, Xu Zhenming smiled and nodded.He did not give too many instructions, nor did he give orders randomly.All debugging and trial production processes, let Zheng Cheng decide.
Xu Zhenming was in a good mood, so instead of going back to the office directly, he came to the debugging workshop of the fully automatic stamping production line.
There is also a group of people busy in this workshop at this time, the leader is Hong Aiguo from CNC machine tool factory.
As the project leader, Hong Aiguo is under the greatest pressure.He was holding a white file board and writing and drawing on the report on the file board."How much pressure was there when the machine was started?" Hong Aiguo looked at the report and asked the team members responsible for assisting in debugging.
"18MPa, it seems a bit too low." The technician frowned and looked at the fully automatic stamping production line.
The auto production line is actually a combined automatic press.Automobile manufacturers use this type of press to stamp out various spare parts for automobiles.For example, car hoods, car frames, car door panels, etc.
As long as it is an automobile structural part, it can be processed by this process, thus saving time.Therefore, this kind of fully automatic stamping production line is very important in automobile manufacturing plants, but domestic enterprises cannot make them themselves.
Yiming Group can produce this prototype, which should be the first domestically produced in the country, which can be described as filling the domestic gap.
Xu Zhenming therefore attached great importance to this production line and came to Hong Aiguo's side and asked: "What's wrong, and when can customers check and accept this equipment?"
"Oh..." Hong Aiguo was taken aback when he saw Xu Zhenming coming.
He immediately frowned and reported with a solemn expression, "The working pressure on this production line is very unstable, high and low. If this goes on, our delivery schedule in November may be delayed."
How can this work?If this happens, Xu Zhenming can't explain to Xu Peidong.Xu Peidong wanted to transfer jobs, and he had negotiated with Xu Zhenming a long time ago to complete all the technical renovation projects when he left the Huaijiang Automobile Plant.Therefore, this automatic stamping modular machine tool must be shipped on time.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming frowned and asked Hong Aiguo, "Did you find out why?"
"Report to Dong Xu. We have checked all the hydraulic subsystems and found no abnormalities."
"This is a bit weird."
"The only possibility now is that the hydraulic proportional valve we made ourselves has a problem."
Seeing Xu Zhenming's serious expression, Hong Aiguo's team members all took inspection reports to report the situation.In the entire hydraulic system, the proportional valve has a great influence on the hydraulic system, and it makes sense for them to doubt it.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming waved his hand suddenly, "Then replace it and use imported goods. We don't have time to spend time here."
According to his idea, this fully automatic stamping production line is only the first set of test products.Yiming Group also has an automobile manufacturing plant in Xijing City. It will definitely start the automobile production line, and some have the opportunity to test its own proportional valve.
"Yes, Xu Dong." Hong Aiguo was finally relieved.
He actually wanted to replace the domestic spare parts on this production line for a long time. Since Xu Zhenming likes to engage in the localization of spare parts, he has not been granted implementation.And now, Xu Zhenming ordered that a set of similar production lines be reproduced immediately, and he is not worried about not having time to verify the domestic hydraulic proportional valve.
"Any other questions?" Xu Zhenming asked again after seeing Hong Aiguo's sigh.
Hong Aiguo shook his head and told Xu Zhenming that if it were to replace the spare parts of the hydraulic system, the production line could be debugged in as little as seven days.
Hearing this good news, Xu Zhenming left the workshop satisfied.Five days later, he received a notice from Hong Aiguo that the fully automatic stamping production line had been debugged and could be used for the trial production of car shells.
Upon receiving this news, Xu Zhenming did not immediately go to the workshop to watch the trial production, but instead called Xu Peidong in Luzhou City."Report to Xuchang and tell you a good news. Haha..." After the call was connected, Xu Zhenming smiled and joked with Xu Peidong.
He invited Xu Peidong to visit Nan'an Yiming Group Company, and by the way brought the automobile spare parts stamping dies from Huaijiang Automobile Factory for experimentation.This kind of process is called A inspection or product demonstration in commercial production activities.Under normal circumstances, there is no need for Xu Peidong to host it himself.
"Okay Xu Dong, I will prepare tomorrow, and I will come to you Yiming Group Company the day after tomorrow." But Xu Peidong's laughter still came over the phone.He wanted to express that he would come to Nan'an personally to talk to Xu Zhenming and have a drink by the way.
Judging from the tone of speech, Xu Peidong was in a good mood, as if there was something happy.Although Xu Zhenming had a good relationship with him, he didn't ask much.No matter what is good, it is best to say it from Xu Peidong's mouth, otherwise it will affect their relationship.
In the morning two days later, Xu Peidong led the team members to arrive as scheduled.
Along with them, there is also a large truck.This large truck is loaded with a set of stamping dies for the front door of a car, which is specially used for trial production.
"Welcome leader Xu back to his hometown to inspect and guide the work." Xu Zhenming greeted him and shook hands with Xu Peidong.
When it was the turn of a fat middle-aged man with glasses, there was an episode.
This person's name is Li Qiang, he is not tall, about 1.7 meters, in his early forties, relatively fat, and panting a little while walking."Xu Dong, our set of molds are imported goods, your unit must be careful." He greeted Xu Zhenming with a serious face, shaking hands.
Li Qiang is the head of the technology department of the Huaijiang Automobile Manufacturing Plant, and a technical officer airborne from the headquarters, speaking with a harder tone and attitude.
But Xu Zhenming didn't take this kind of thing to heart."Don't worry about Minister Li, the members of our technical team will be cautious." He grinned and patted the back of Li Qiang's right hand with his left hand.
Seeing this situation, Xu Peidong gave Xu Zhenming an apologetic look, as if he was saying: "Li Qiang is like this, he has a bad temper, but his heart is not bad."
But Xu Zhenming didn't think much about this kind of thing. Instead, he smiled and asked Li Qiang: "Minister Li, why do the auto molds in your factory use imported goods?"
"There is no such big processing center in China, there is no way. Hey..." Li Qiang sighed.
He told Xu Zhenming that the German models introduced by Huaijiang Automobile Plant this time, and the stamping dies for automobile drawings cannot be produced by domestic enterprises.No way, they can only import automotive stamping dies from Germany.
Hearing this, Xu Zhenming smiled and pointed his nose, "You can find me for such trivial things. As long as a phone call, our Yiming Group can help you get everything done."
"Eh?" Li Qiang looked at Xu Zhenming in surprise.
His eyes are relatively small, even though they are already widened at this time, they don't appear to be very big."Can your group company do automotive stamping dies?" Li Qiang was very curious.
Xu Zhenming nodded, "We can produce heavy-duty 5-axis CNC machine tools, what molds can't be made?" He is not actually promoting the mold business, but selling 5-axis CNC machine tools with Huaijiang Automobile Manufacturing Plant.
Hearing this, Li Qiang suddenly realized.He heard that Yiming Group has developed five-axis linkage CNC machine tools.But it did not consider the problem from another aspect, so it did not treat Yiming Group as a mold manufacturer.
Listening to Xu Zhenming's explanation now, he really believes that Yiming Group has this ability.Thinking of this, Li Qiang asked Xu Zhenming, "How long does it take your group company to make a set of automotive stamping molds, and what is the unit price per ton?"
This guy didn't want to buy a five-axis CNC machine tool from his factory. Instead, he wanted Yiming Group to build automobile stamping dies.
"Damn, I miscalculated!" Xu Zhenming couldn't help but regret secretly looking at this person's small eyes.He thinks this Li Qiang is not simple, but very shrewd.
During the talk, everyone came to the debugging workshop of the fully automatic stamping automobile production line.
At this time, Hong Aiguo is arranging people to hoist down the stamping die that Xu Peidong brought.The workshop is a bit noisy, the whistle of the hoisting equipment, the sound of the fully automatic stamping production line...and so on.
"Huh...you actually use a robotic arm to carry galvanized steel plates?" At this moment, Li Qiang pointed to the robot stacking steel plates and asked Xu Zhenming with his small eyes wide.
He did not expect that the domestically produced fully automatic stamping production line would be so advanced, no different from the German production line.This kind of production technology, Li Qiang has only seen in a German automobile manufacturing plant, is very advanced and highly effective.
Xu Zhenming glanced at him, and then smiled: "This kind of robot is called a palletizing robot. Only Germany has the best quality in the world. There are still some gaps between our products and German products, but they should not be used on this production line. problem."
Xu Zhenming told Li Qiang that because the contact surface of the galvanized steel sheet is relatively large, the precision of the palletizing robot of Yiming Group Company is not enough to be ignored.If it is a small workpiece, this palletizing robot is not competent.
"No...Xu Dong, this is already very advanced, at least we can make this kind of palletizing robot." Li Qiang didn't think so.He believes that this attempt by Yiming Group is very good, much better than the level of machinery manufacturing in Korea.In any case, Korea still cannot make such an advanced robot.
Xu Zhenming loves to hear these words.
But how can he be willing to compare with the Koreans?
"Xu Factory, Minister Li, how about we start visiting now?"
Putting the distracting thoughts aside, Xu Zhenming is ready to take the group of people to visit the production line.
"Xu Dong, the performance of these palletizing robots is very unstable, and the joint mechanism often fails. If you must join the PCB board automatic assembly line, it will affect the stability of the entire production line."
Sun Chao frowned and pointed to the palletizing robot that was in trial operation to complain to Xu Zhenming.
