    Analysis of Stamping Automation Line Production Beat Optimization


    Summary:

    Difficulties encountered after production

    At the beginning of the production line, we encountered many difficulties in optimizing the production speed. Specifically, there are many inconsistencies in the control logic between equipment and equipment, and the direct result is that the production rhythm of the production line is slow. The interlocking signals between equipment of different manufacturers lack correctness, which improves the production speed and also increases the probability of equipment collision, it is difficult to find the balance between production efficiency and equipment and mold safety. Each equipment is only optimized with interlocking signals between each other, and there is no mode and special controller for controlling the production speed of the whole line. Without the synchronization system of the robot, the hardware increases the difficulty of optimization and restricts the production rhythm within a certain range.

    Factors affecting the speed of production

    The equipment manager, operator and mechanic of the stamping line continuously optimizes the beat of the production line to improve production efficiency. In the field, the idea of continuous improvement is applied to reduce the CT value of parts production, and a set of effective methods to optimize the production rhythm of the production line is summarized. In the automatic production line of stamping robot, there are two factors related to the production speed, that is, the action speed and action coordination of each equipment.

    Action speed

    In practice, we found that when each equipment runs at the maximum speed, and each press is synchronized stamping and each robot is synchronized, the production line is the fastest. For the speed of each equipment, the speed of the unstacking feeding unit and the press is usually not changed; and the flexibility of the robot movement speed adjustment is very large, which becomes the main factor affecting the speed of the production line.

    The movement speed of the robot is closely related to the action characteristics of the robot. The actual movement speed is not only related to the set value, but also related to the posture change and movement mode in the process of movement. The characteristics of the robot action are as follows: the less the posture changes during the movement, the faster the movement speed. Under the condition of ensuring safety, the change of posture during the movement of the robot is reduced as much as possible. The movement velocity of the robot is characterized by the movement between two points: MOVJ arc movement velocity> MOVL linear movement velocity. When the MOVEJ command is selected, the robot automatically calculates the fastest arc trajectory.

    Familiar with the characteristics of the robot action, we can standardize the robot trajectory of each part. When creating a new part, copy the previous similar part trajectory and make simple changes to get the ideal trajectory. After completing this step, the handling speed of a single robot can be adjusted to the fastest, meeting the first condition in the element.

    Action coordination

    The ideal optimization state of the stamping production line should be that each device runs at its maximum speed and completes a single action cycle in the shortest time. There is only one waiting point in each action cycle of each device; under safe conditions, the previous device starts the next device in the shortest time. From the perspective of the whole line, the robot can carry synchronously and the press can press synchronously. When the robot starts to retreat after loading, the press slider starts to start, and the mold almost collides with the robot. When the slider starts to rise, the robot immediately goes in to grab the material and almost collides with the mold. Each device operates at its own maximum speed, the starting parameters of each other are set to the maximum value, and the movement can be coordinated.
