With the rapid development of science and technology and manufacturing industry, traditional production methods and assembly lines have been unable to meet the increasingly complex production needs, such as production lines are difficult to adapt to the rapidly changing needs of the market, lack of flexibility and so on. The emergence of reconfigurable flexible assembly systems has completely changed this situation, bringing new opportunities and possibilities to the manufacturing industry.
Reconfigurable Flexible Assembly System (FMS) is jointly developed by Fuwei Intelligent and Tsinghua University to create a benchmark for cooperation between flexible assembly industry, university and research, subvert traditional production line design ideas, and adopt modular and reconfigurable design. Independent research and development of assembly CAM software, through the software configuration of assembly scheme, automatic generation of assembly process, control of production line assembly. The system architecture includes feeding system, assembly system, inspection system and control system.
Technical advantages:
1. Get rid of the situation of automatic product assembly special machine, and achieve a high-efficiency and low-cost cross-category product flexible assembly system. Compared with the traditional teaching method, the assembly time can be reduced by 50% on average by using the reconfigurable assembly line technology based on assembly language, and can be further reduced after optimization.
2, compared with the existing flexible assembly system, through the reuse of units and jigs, the cost of equipment is expected to be reduced by more than 50%, and the more categories the greater the benefit.
3, compared with the existing flexible assembly system, through automatic control, it is expected to further reduce enterprise labor costs by more than 30%.
4. In terms of environmental friendliness and replacement time, the reconfigurable flexible assembly system is superior to the existing technical solutions.
Fixture library:
1, single claw tool flip claw
Through the solenoid valve control on both sides of the cylinder expansion force symmetric clamp finger clamping and loosening, to achieve the grasping and placing of materials.
2, small contact surface tools
The cylinder is ventilated through the solenoid valve, and the cylinder drives the swing arm mechanism to open around the rotating axis, closes and grabs the contact material, and moves to the positioning tool.
3, rubber ring tools (small)
Air the cylinder through the solenoid valve, the cylinder clamp means to open the grab ring.
4, rubber ring tools (large)
The cylinder is ventilated through the solenoid valve, and the cylinder drives the swing arm mechanism to open around the rotating axis, and the contact material is closed and grabbed. When the rubber ring is fully opened, the inner surface of the 3 ring holding claws forms a circle with a diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the parts to be installed, so that the parts can be inserted.
5, pressure reducing valve fixture assembly - adjustable height + base
The cylinder is ventilated through the solenoid valve, and the cylinder clamp grips the object.
Reconfigurable flexible assembly system is an important development direction of modern manufacturing industry and a key link to realize intelligent manufacturing. By means of modular design, automation equipment and robots, intelligent scheduling and optimized inventory management, reconfigurable flexible assembly systems can achieve efficient, accurate and intelligent production, improve production efficiency, reduce costs and enhance enterprise competitiveness. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, reconfigurable flexible assembly systems will have broader development prospects and create more value!
