Non-standard automation equipment, also known as "customized equipment", each planning and production must be tailored according to different customer preferences, product technology, quality requirements, site conditions, etc. In other words, non-standard means that there is no norm, and when it comes to "norm" or norm, it is a bit contradictory.

Then you can save a lot of trouble when you know the precautions when purchasing non-standard automation equipment, and you can also think that the factory will save a huge follow-up cost. Nonetheless, the production of non-standard equipment is a technical profession, and it cannot be imaginative or arbitrary. There are many rules and regulations for detailed development and implementation.

What is non-standard equipment?

"Non-standard equipment" is non-standard equipment. It is not equipment produced according to the same professional standards and specifications issued, but equipment that is planned and produced according to its own use requirements, which also requires anti-corrosion. Today, let's take a look at non-standard equipment to understand what non-standard equipment is.

What kind of process is necessary to put automation equipment?

The workshop environment is not friendly, such as spraying and welding operations;

Poor product quality by manual operation;

The production cycle of the product is long and the service life is too long;

The product is larger or heavier, and the manual operation is not sensitive;

Assuming that manual feeding is to be completed without failure, the separability of parts is very important and the separability of parts needs to be evaluated. Especially about some small parts like screws, nails;

Component stability. If the quality of the parts flowing down from the upstream is unstable, the quality of the products processed by the equipment may not be as good as that of the manual ones, which may cause repeated shutdowns of the equipment;

The messiness of the packaging of the parts. Assuming that you want to complete automatic feeding, you need to change the original packaging method so that the loading and unloading machinery can grab the parts, because the cost of changing the packaging method will increase;

The complexity and difficulty of operation selects the cost of automation equipment and the feasibility of automation equipment technology. Even for industrial robots, complicated assembly operations are difficult to complete.

Non-standard equipment planning specification

How can automation planning meet Lean Form requirements?

Three no policy

1. Instead of using multitasking large devices, use single-tasking small devices

The higher the complexity of the equipment, the higher the cost, the worse the accuracy, and the lower the flexibility to respond to changes in demand.

2. Do not blindly seek high-speed equipment

The power of the equipment should be based on the principle of satisfying the demand and ensuring the quality of the product, and overdoing it.

3. Non-batch processing equipment

Although batch processing equipment has certain advantages in power, it will hinder the flow and extend the production cycle, and even cause delays.
