Production assembly line
1
The proposed solution allows to:
- Use the same last for assembly operations and injection / casting operations on the carousel; this leads to a significant increase in product quality (wrinkle limitation);
- Perform roughing operations automatically: roughing profile is always constant and specific for each type of last;
- Integrate the line with the rotary table: the lasts placed on the pallets are in the same sequence as the carousel stations. The advancement of the lasts along the line allows to create a buffer before the various assembly operations. The pallets are synchronized with the carousel: each time it takes a step, a new pallet arrives in front of the operator to exchange the last between the carousel and the line.
Advantages
- The number of lasts used in the process is reduced to a minimum;
- The movement between one operation and another is more efficient, without the use of trolleys;
- Constant quality production;
- No possibility of mistakes by operators: operators are guided along the line in performing the operations and there is the guarantee of loading the right last on the press at the right time;
- Production under control and online information about productivity;
- Maximum flexibility and modularity of the line, with the possibility of performing automatic operations.
