◆ Cold core core making line mold automatic exchange stereoscopic warehouse
The casting cold core core making line consists of 3-5 core shooting machines, which are used for casting cold core production. The traditional core making line mold changing method is manual crane hoisting. Due to the large variety, frequent mold changes, high labor intensity, and low efficiency. The company designed and manufactured an automatic exchange stereoscopic warehouse on its own, which is matched with the core making line to realize the automatic exchange and storage of multiple varieties of molds, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of operators. At present, there is no similar equipment in China, which is a domestic innovation.
◆ Casting static pressure molding line
Adopting international advanced static pressure molding technology, a complete automatic production line for casting molding is formed. The sand box size is 1000×800×370, which can meet the production of gray iron and ductile iron castings such as tractor gearbox, rear and front box, half-axle sleeve, and lifter housing of our company. It adopts the original imported host of HWS in Germany and the casting grabbing manipulator of Claysman in the UK, and is composed of domestic molding lines and semi-automatic pouring machines, sand processing equipment, medium frequency induction furnaces, etc. The production line.
The company designed and manufactured a CNC fully automatic core setting machine by itself, which is matched with the host. It has the characteristics of high core setting precision and good automation effect, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers and improves production efficiency, so that the production of static pressure molding line reaches the design requirement of 90 boxes/hour.

All processes are completed by the manipulator to automatically load and unload materials and fully automatic serial processing. The single-shift production quantity is 150 pieces, which only requires 2 people to operate. After the line is put into use, it greatly reduces the labor intensity of employees and improves the labor productivity of employees. The efficiency is increased by 300% compared with the original decentralized processing, and the production volume of work-in-progress is greatly reduced, which truly realizes one-piece flow processing.
◆ Fully automatic planetary gear production line
The production line consists of 4 machine tools and two sets of manipulators, which realizes the fully automatic production of planetary gears from turning, gear hobbing, chamfering, and gear shaving. The operation cycle is 2 minutes, and one person can operate two production lines, which increases the production efficiency by 5 times. At the same time, it reduces the labor intensity of employees. The “one-piece flow” production method greatly reduces the work-in-progress in the workshop and improves the effective production efficiency.
◆ Application of joint robots
The domestic industrial robots are used for automatic loading and unloading of lathes, and robots can replace manual operations. They can automatically complete the entire processing process, such as front bin material grabbing, OP1 loading and unloading, workpiece transfer, OP2 loading and unloading, and rear bin unloading, etc., realizing single-machine automated production, greatly reducing the labor intensity of employees. Operators are converted into equipment maintenance personnel, saving labor costs, and the robots have stable repeated positioning accuracy, which effectively guarantees the processing accuracy. It has opened up a development path for the company to achieve single-machine automation of lathe processing.
