The corrugated sheet lamination of automotive air conditioning refers to the structural design of the corrugated sheet in the automotive air conditioning system, which adopts the form of multi-layer lamination. Usually, it is composed of multiple layers of metal materials, such as steel, aluminum alloys, etc. Each layer of corrugated sheets has a certain bending angle. When multiple layers of corrugated sheets are stacked together, a staggered structure is formed to increase the stiffness and load-bearing capacity of the corrugated sheets, enabling them to better transmit power and withstand pressure.
Traditional corrugated sheet stacking usually requires manual operation, requiring workers to stack the corrugated sheets layer by layer together. In the era of production pursuing efficiency, automation technology makes efficiency smooth and simple.
In the process of laminating corrugated sheets in this car’s air conditioning system,Atomrobot automation technology solution is introduced to stack the corrugated sheets through machines and automation systems. On the one hand, robots automatically grasp, locate, and stack corrugated sheets based on preset programs and parameters, completing the entire stacking process and improving production efficiency and quality; On the other hand, the Atomrobot automation system can also monitor and control various parameters during the stacking process, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the stacking.
Compared to traditional manual labor, Atomrobot automated lamination has the following advantages:
Improving production efficiency: Astro Boy robots can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce manual operation and time costs, and greatly shorten the production cycle when completing the stacking process at high speed and precision.
Improving the quality of lamination: Through the visual system, precise positioning and control can ensure that the position and angle of each corrugated sheet meet the requirements, thereby reducing the impact of human factors on the quality of lamination and improving the accuracy and consistency of lamination.
Reducing manual risks: Using robots to complete repetitive and tedious stacking work reduces the physical exertion and injury risk of workers, and improves the safety of the work environment.
In this project, considering the balance of the entire line speed, the average stacking speed is set to 50 pieces/minute/unit, with an accuracy of ± 2 millimeters. A single parallel robot can effectively remove 2 manual workers, improve overall efficiency by 100%, and the investment return period is 12 months.
Throughout the automotive industry, many car manufacturers and automotive component suppliers widely use automation technology to stack corrugated sheets for automotive air conditioning. Japanese manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mazda, etc., German manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Volkswagen, etc., and American car manufacturers such as Ford and General Motors also apply automation technology for corrugated film lamination in the production of automotive air conditioning systems. Different manufacturers may adopt different automation equipment and technologies, and the specific lamination process and equipment configuration may vary.
