What are the potential defects of the automatic material handling system? How to influence the process of warehouse automation

There are many kinds of automatic logistics handling equipment, so it is impossible to generalize the defects and advantages of each equipment. Here is a brief introduction.

Stacked memory

Automatic palletizer is a high-tech product with mechanical and electrical integration. It mainly stacks the packaged products (boxes, bags and barrels) on the corresponding empty trays in a certain arrangement order through a continuous mechanical action, so as to facilitate the handling and transportation of batch products, thus improving production efficiency. According to the height of the entrance, the stacker can be divided into high-position stacker and low-position stacker.

The working principle of the stacker is that the workpiece on the flat plate meets the requirements of the pallet, and the flat plate and the workpiece move forward until the vertical plane of the pallet. When the upper stop rod descends, the other three-way positioning stop rod begins to clamp, and the flat plate is reset at this time. Each workpiece descends to the pallet plane, the distance from the pallet plane to the bottom of the flat plate is 10mm, and the pallet descends by one workpiece height. Repeat the above operations until the pallet stacking meets the set requirements. Its structural design is optimized and its action is stable and reliable. The palletizing process is fully automated, and there is no need for manual intervention during normal operation, so it has a wide range of applications.

At present, palletizers are mainly used in food and beverage industry and chemical industry. , such as supporting three-in-one filling line. , to palletize all kinds of bottles and cans. The automatic operation of the stacker is divided into automatic box loading, box transferring, sorting, stacking, moving, stacking, box loading, box unloading, stacking and other steps. Using the stacker can achieve the efficiency of 25-70 cases per minute (film packaging), which can be completely docked with high-speed production lines.

Machine Hand

The automatic stacker stacks the finished products packed by the sealing machine on the pallet, and the unpacking of the finished products will be completed by the manipulator. The technical difficulty of unpacking is greater than palletizing. The main reason is that the original palletizing pallet is deformed due to the deformation of the finished product box and the vibration during transportation, which leads to the deviation of each unpacked finished product pallet from the ideal position. In addition, because the unpacking tray is a finished box close to the finished box, ordinary instruments can't be inserted between the two boxes, so it is a problem to clamp the finished box. The solution is to suck the finished product with a vacuum sucker.

Compared with the traditional overhead stacker, the manipulator stacker has the following advantages: first, it saves energy; Second, the failure rate is low; Third, it occupies a small area; Fourth, the cost of human resources is low.

shuttle machine

In manufacturing industry and material handling industry, automatic guided vehicle (AGV) has become more and more widely known. The shuttle bus introduced here is an equipment that automatically carries materials based on rail transportation.

Shuttle is generally used for corridor shelves, and is accepted by many storage and transportation units because of its high space utilization rate. However, when the forklift enters the roadway, there is a safety hazard of shelf collapse due to the narrow space. In addition, forklift trucks and manual handling are inefficient and costly, and automatic shuttle cars are introduced on the basis of the original shelves to improve the automation level of production, storage and transportation throughout the line.
