How to realize uninterrupted machine tool processing operations for a long time and include unattended production at night? A company from the Netherlands, Vullings, may be able to bring some practical insights.
Vullings, which has more than 50 years of history, is a company focused on the processing of small metal parts. Its products are found in the automotive, aerospace and food industries. Vullings uses machining centers to turn parts and mills. The raw materials for these parts are diverse and difficult to process. At the same time, customized small-volume orders from customers also increase the difficulty of production. Thanks to the automated unit consisting of a robot and a machining center, Vullings can achieve 24 hours of uninterrupted automated production with flexible production methods.
First listen to John Vullings, head of the Vullings company, about the use of the automation unit. (Video length is 1 and a half minutes)
24 hours of continuous production
In the Vullings production workshop, the FANUC ROBODRILL small machining center can be operated 24 hours a day. With the FANUC iRVision intelligent vision function, the FANUC M-20iA robot can automatically position the parts to be machined on the pick-up conveyor or the parts contained in the pan and feed it to the ROBODRILLl. After the parts are processed, the robot enters the machining center. The blanking operation was completed and the iRVision Intelligent Vision function checked the free space on the conveyor belt and directed the M-20iA to place the parts on the output conveyor. The entire production process is highly automated, and the operator only needs to check if there is enough raw material before off duty, and then it can be automated and unmanned throughout the night.
Automated tray stereo library
In conjunction with the automated processing unit, Vullings has also established a tray magazine to store various parts in the trays and to carry out the FANUC R-2000iB robot to carry and distribute the trays to the conveyor belt, intelligentizing the storage logistics and production. Connect to efficiently and quickly supply raw materials for the production process. The R-2000iB uses the 2D camera mounted on the wrist to identify the barcode on the tray to ensure the accuracy of the tray flow. For small parts, the R-2000iB can also be grabbed and placed directly with the iRVision Intelligent Vision function. On the conveyor belt.
Preventive maintenance and real-time monitoring increase equipment availability
Another key to long-term uninterrupted production is the monitoring and preventive maintenance of the equipment. Vullings makes full use of ROBODRILL's preventative maintenance functions, including early detection of insulation deterioration of motors and power lines, and real-time monitoring and alarming of cooling fans. ROBODRILL can also perform automatic maintenance reminding of parts that are close to the maintenance period. The monitoring and maintenance of the robot can be realized through the FANUC ZDT function (Zero Down Time zero downtime), the user can easily grasp the state of the robot, the production of the production line, and pre-diagnosis of mechanical failures at the remote or mobile end to prevent the production line from stopping. This will increase equipment availability.
More flexible and flexible production mode
For low-volume parts production, Vullings also responds to automated production. By entering the machining parameters into the CAM software, the same parts need to be produced again, ROBODRILL processing parameters and robot program settings can be applied directly before Setup to allow for flexible automation of production.
The wall washer series are professionally used in outdoor parks, building exterior walls, amusement parks and other places. Add color and effect to the original ordinary buildings, waterproof lamp body design, no fear of rain. Especially when used around the exterior walls of hotels and buildings in tourist areas, it can give people a very good experience. When used on the stage, it can bring beautiful color effects to the stage.In addition to the color control effect, this product also has a point control function, which can produce more vivid dynamic effects, which is a good choice.
