A flexible production line connects multiple adjustable machine tools (mostly special-purpose machine tools) and is equipped with an automatic conveying device. It relies on computer management and combines multiple production modes, thus reducing production costs and making the best use of resources.
The flexible production line uses two methods to exchange and transfer parts. One is to use a pallet as a carrier, fix the parts on the pallet with fixtures, and have the robot grab the pallet. This method is suitable for the processing of parts with multiple varieties and multiple processes. The other method is for the robot to directly grab and transfer the parts, which is suitable for the processing of parts with few varieties and large quantities.
The logistics transmission line uses handling robots equipped with robot walking mechanisms to achieve the handling and loading/unloading of parts. This robot can adopt the form of ground tracks or high-altitude walking, complementing the RGV carts of the FMS.
The flexible production line is equipped with intelligent scheduling and management control software, which can schedule and monitor the operating status of the system in real - time and has intelligent functions to achieve automatic handling and processing of workpieces. The machine tool processing programs and processing information are transmitted through the network, and the control data is shared. The entire information is uploaded to the general control system to optimize the logistics scheduling and the control of processing machine tools, enabling the production line to operate at the best efficiency and creating maximum value for customers.
The flexible production line can also be equipped with intelligent functions such as a visual recognition system and an on - line parts inspection system according to customer requirements to improve the production efficiency of the production line.
