What is an automatic assembly machine? In layman's terms, assembly refers to the combination of several parts of a product by means of tight fitting, snap-fit, screw connection, gluing, riveting, welding, etc. to obtain a finished product (semi-finished product) that meets the predetermined dimensional accuracy and function. The assembly realized by manual processing (contacting, sorting, grasping, moving, placing, applying force, etc.) of each component, strictly speaking, can only be called manual assembly. Assembly that does not require manual handling (touching, sorting, grabbing, moving, placing, etc.) components can be called automatic assembly. In between is semi-automatic assembly.
The composition of automatic assembly machine
1. Parts oriented arrangement, transportation, escapement system
The messy parts are automatically oriented and arranged according to the spatial orientation that is convenient for the automatic processing of the machine, and then smoothly transported to the subsequent escapement to prepare for the subsequent grasping of the manipulator.
2. Grab-shift-place mechanism
The parts (parts) positioned by the escapement are grasped or vacuumed and then moved to another position (usually the assembly work position).
3. Assembly work mechanism
Refers to the mechanism used to complete the main action of the assembly work, such as pressing, clamping, screwing, clamping, gluing, welding, riveting, gluing, and welding the workpiece to the previous component.
4. Testing institutions
It is used to test the components assembled in the previous step or the work results of the machine in the previous step, such as missing parts detection, size detection, defect detection, function detection, and material clearance detection.
5. Workpiece removal mechanism
A mechanism used to sort out the assembled qualified and unqualified parts from the machine.
