1. Pain point breakthrough: the leap from semi-automatic to fully automatic
The cost pressure is increasing, "said V á clav Dostal, the general manager of Swoboda's Czech factory," so we have decided to have a thorough upgrade
So, a brand new setFully automated production unitBorn.
At the center of the production line is a powerful vertical injection molding machine with a locking force of 270 tons and equipped with a dual station turntable. The matching mold temperature machine also comes from Weimeng.
Why did you choose it?
▸easy to operate:
Intuitive control interface, even beginners can quickly master it
▸Design Innovation:
Temperature control medium interface is placed on top, eliminating the need for central rotation
allocator
▸space optimization:
moldSpacious operating area and easy maintenance
▲ Spacious mold operation space - the temperature control medium interface is introduced from above, and the injection molding machine does not require a central rotating distributor
Walking around the factory, the comparison between old and new processes is clear at a glance:The original two semi automated production lines are still in operation, but the capacity of the new production line has doubled.
Even better, the increasing demand for this product coincides with the global expansion of renewable energy. The Swoboda team is particularly proud of this project - these types of orders are helping them gradually reduce their dependence on the automotive industry.
2. Full process automation: solving the problem of multi insert production
The production of switch box casings involves various combinations of inserts, and traditional methods are prone to errors and low efficiency. The new production line achieves breakthroughs through innovative design:
Precision robotic arm
The lower part of the mold is fixed on the turntable, and a large six axis robotic arm takes out the finished product from the mold cavity,simultaneouslyInsert new inserts
Intelligent feeding system
Partial inserts passed throughTray feedingSome pins are passed throughroll-to-rollThe system completes stamping and bending online
Closed loop transmission
The formed components are transported out by the conveyor system, inspected by cameras and marked by DMC, neatly stacked on pallets, and finally leave the production line. All empty fixtures and transport vehicles automatically return, achievingcontinuous production
V á clav, General Manager of Swoboda Company
The challenge lies in the large number and variety of embedded components, and the automation system must ensure that everything is foolproof
3. Local Innovation Achieves Global Value
This automation system is completely independently developed and built by the Swoboda Ihlava team. Nowadays, solutions originating from here have been put into use in multiple Swoboda factories worldwide.
The secret to the success of the new production line lies in:
➤stable quality:
Weimeng injection molding machine ensures process repeatability accuracy
➤cost optimization:
The unit cost continues to decrease, and the competitiveness significantly improves
➤flexible production:
Adapt to the needs of multiple varieties and small batches
▲ The automation equipment is equipped with a precision conveying system, which surrounds the injection molding machine
4. Deep Collaboration: From Suppliers to Strategic Partners
▲ Working together to pursue the highest efficiency: Pavel Bohun ě k and Marek Hejl from Swoboda Czech, and Michal Slaba from Mighty Czech (from left to right)
Thanks to localizationspare parts warehouse、Training CenterAndTechnology CenterWith the advantageous location close to the Swoboda factory and strong service capabilities, Weimeng has established a partnership with SwobodaA symbiotic and win-win cooperative relationship.
