Super military empire

"If technicians are used instead, the production efficiency shouldn't be too low, right?" Liu Yijiu asked.

What he means is that in some places where the cost of using robots is too high and not very useful, it will be done manually. This will make the efficiency lower, but it can greatly reduce the cost.

The current production line requires a manipulator just to replace the tools, which causes a lot of cost increase, and at the same time, the requirements for the system control system are also much higher.

The automated mechanical production line can make full production 24 hours a day. The robot does not need to eat, take a rest, does not need various insurances, and will not have any emotions. After being installed on the production line, it will not ask for leave or resign. , The efficiency is high enough.

But the cost of this stuff is definitely not too low.

No matter when it is, the cost of industrial robots will not be too low. Relative to workers, they only need to pay monthly wages. If they work more, they will be sent more. If they work less, they will send less or not. Industrial robots are not good. The price must be paid in full before purchase. After installation, even if it is not produced, these costs must be calculated into it.

What's more, these robots cannot guarantee that there will always be no problems.

A malfunction of a robot may even cause the production schedule of the entire production line to stop.The efficiency of each production position is calculated by the control center at the most reasonable efficiency.

"No, the cost will be much lower..." I understood what Liu Yijiu wanted to say, and said with some embarrassment, "If the industrial robots for tool change and fixtures are eliminated, this will reduce the cost of the entire production line by 30%. about……"

Liu Yijiu did not express any objections to this design, nor did he say it was wasteful.

Designers must have their ideas if they consider this way.

Sure enough, Rudak went on to say, “These are just our experiments. Even if such a production line is launched on the market, not many units will purchase. The high cost is on one hand, and on the other hand, it is prone to failure. The requirements are higher than those of ordinary equipment..."

"And we designed this way on the test line of the production workshop, mainly to make some technologies of the entire production line unified standards. Technology research and development, reserve..."

"That's not bad." Liu Yijiu nodded and looked at the CNC machine tool and the manipulator standing outside the machine tool. It may be the reason for the test product. In order to save costs, the manipulator used to carry the product has not been done in many details. It's perfect, "How long is the failure time? This will be very important."

The production line obviously has not undergone large-scale production.

The mean time between failures determines how long the entire production line can run continuously.

"The current data is 200 hours, which is too short. Every two hundred hours of operation, the entire production line must be stopped for maintenance. Otherwise, problems will occur in the production process..." Rudak is even more embarrassed In his opinion, this kind of time is really too little.

200 hours of trouble-free time is less than eight days.

According to their thoughts, it is best for the production line to be scrapped from the installation to the end because the material used to make the entire robot reaches metal fatigue.

"Time is enough. Under normal circumstances, such high-efficiency production has high requirements for the use of equipment." Liu Yijiu did not say anything about the future.

I didn't think this time was too short.

Under the current conditions, even 20 hours of trouble-free operation is very good.

Industrial robots have come out 30 years ago. These years, they have not developed. There are really not many companies that can invest more than the Ninth Academy.

The Ninth Institute's research on robotics and automatic production is comprehensive.

Originally, the three districts were just a machining area for supporting other units. Ordinary machining equipment can also be produced, but that is only reserved technology and capacity.

The real rise of the three districts is that after Liu Yijiu took charge, CNC machine tools were developed.

Various types of CNC machine tools are developed, tested and produced, and improved, thus entering the research of robots.

There is no essential difference between CNC machine tools and industrial robots.

The appearance of the original articulated robot itself is to realize the use of numerical control programs to replace human operations, and to transfer human operations to the machine for processing.

This unmanned experimental workshop is not an ordinary welding workshop like the automobile industry manufacturing. All automatic welding robots only need to weld the auto parts transported to the front by the assembly line; it is not the assembly of other electronic products. Large-scale machining of basic parts and materials is a comprehensive automated processing workshop that can involve multiple aspects.

In other words, this workshop is an assembly of many automated control technologies.

"Get started, I'll see." Just looking at the appearance, nothing can be seen at all.

The CNC machine tools and industrial robots inside, just by looking at the shape, can naturally fool people, and even when they run, they can hold many people.

No one can guarantee the quality of the processing and the efficiency of the production. You can only see the final result.

The test workshop is not just for experimenting with technology.

Rudak also knew that Liu Yijiu must be shown the results.

Liu Yijiu has always attached great importance to processing quality. For better quality, the efficiency can be lower and the cost higher.

If Liu Yijiu is not allowed to see the operation at this time, there will be no way to continue the subsequent thoughts.

Only when Liu Yijiu sees the operating efficiency and technical achievements of this production workshop can he continue to realize some design ideals.

After Ludak asked the technical engineers in the workshop, there was nothing unusual about the entire production line and could be started at any time.

Liu Yijiu did not choose anything for the production line to process, but directly arranged it by Ludak and others. The production line did not choose anything else, but directly used the previous batch of small pieces used for automobile engines. Parts to be processed.

"The initial blanks must be processed within a certain tolerance range, otherwise it may cause the robot gripping process to slip..." In the central control room, there is high-definition monitoring of the entire unmanned machine workshop.

Different displays show the various states of each CNC machine tool and robot.

The central control room is above the workshop, and you can clearly see the robots and CNC machine tools below.

"Once it's done, let's run it, let me see." Liu Yijiu looked at the motionless robot production line and various equipment below.

Ludak nodded to the person in charge of the entire production line in the central control room, who directly pressed the start button of the central control hub.

As the control system started, warning lights began to flash in the unmanned production workshop.

"The start-up process is a bit slow. Before production, all equipment must perform a zero return to ensure that the program data inside the machine returns to the original origin..." Ludak introduced Liu Yijiu.

About one minute after the start button was pressed, the flashing warning light stopped.

In the entire workshop, all manipulators and CNC machine tools began to move.

"Hum..." Driven by the low electric motor, various hydraulic systems began to operate.

After the CNC machine tool is started, it is difficult to see the internal movement from the outside. After all, the entire machine tool is surrounded by a protective cover to prevent the high-speed rotating tool from breaking and flying out during the machining process, and also to avoid the emulsion splashing around during high-speed cutting. Get it everywhere.

Those industrial robots seem to be dazzling.

The industrial robots in front of the two CNC machine tools not only need to rotate, but also the mechanical arms make various actions, mainly moving towards the CNC machine tools on both sides.

In the middle aisle, on the green ground in the middle of the yellow lines, some robots used to carry objects are constantly driving in the middle aisle area. Each car is like a human being controlled, moving forward at a very slow speed. Stop automatically when there is an obstacle in front, and stop directly when you reach the position where you should be.

The manipulator near the truck will remove the parts from the CNC machine tool next to it, and then put objects on the truck...

From above, the robot's movement is very messy, and it doesn't feel neat at all.

Liu Yijiu saw this scene with a smile on his face.

The front end of the production line is a CNC lathe.

Disc type parts are picked up from the material truck by the three-finger joints on the manipulator. During this process, the protective door of the CNC machine tool opens automatically, and the manipulator clamps the parts toward the open hydraulic chuck. Go, after reaching the position, stop, the hydraulic chuck starts to shrink under the drive of the control system in the central control room, and displays the pressure of the clamping parts.

After the clamping is completed, the CNC lathe is not started directly. The infrared detection device installed inside is activated and emits infrared rays. Multiple infrared rays appear on the parts on the chuck.

After there is no problem, the manipulator withdraws to the outside, the protective door is automatically closed, and the entire CNC machine tool is running at the same time, making a slight processing sound.

"During the previous processing, the production line was not fully operational. The CNC machine tools and manipulators on the waiting stations should have stopped during this process..." Seeing the doubt on Liu Yijiu's face, Lu Dakko explained.

This is for Liu Yijiu to see, so it is set like this.

"What if it is equipment that does not participate in the production process?" Liu Yijiu asked suddenly.
