Brief description of the structural design and specification of automatic packaging machines

The level of automation continues to increase in the manufacturing industry and the scope of application is expanding. Automation in the packaging industry is changing the way the packaging process works and the processing methods for packaging containers and materials. The automatic control of the packaging system can greatly improve the production efficiency and product quality, significantly eliminate the errors caused by the packaging process and printing and labeling, effectively reduce the labor intensity of workers and reduce energy and resource consumption.

First, the application advantages of automatic packaging machine:

Revolutionary automation changes the way the packaging is manufactured and the way its products are transported. The design and installation of automatic control packaging systems have shown a very significant role in improving product quality and production efficiency, eliminating processing errors and reducing labor intensity. Especially for food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, electronics and other industries, it is crucial. The technology of automatic devices and systems engineering is being further deepened, and the wider application of robotics (Robotics) has changed the coexistence of man-machines. The key to automatic packaging is to design a structural solution that can be automatically controlled based on the production process or packaging process. Obviously, the choice of robot (robot or robot) depends on the needs and characteristics of this process. By definition, an automatic device is a machine or a mechanism that can perform tasks by automatic control or remote control. It can be simple, for example, a single-shaft pneumatic pressure linkage from one position to another; it can also be complex, for example, a six-axis active surgical robot. The selection of various projects in the packaging process and various types of industrial automation organizations can enable each design project to complete a task within the space of a specific workplace.

Second, the structural design of automatic packaging machine:

(a) The structural types of automatic devices are various:

If you can meet the needs of a specific operation. The structural features of industrial robots are between single-axis and six-axis. According to the performance of this shaft structure, the design of the arm "arm" operates an end manipulator or arm end tool under a motion controllable program. The number of axes represents the "degrees of freedom" of the robot arm. In addition, there are auxiliary arms. For example, the shafts of conveyor belts, etc., but they are usually not mechanically linked to the robot arm. For different manipulators, they are generally classified according to the coordinate system composed of the three principal axes “x”, “y”, and “z”. Most machines belong to the following five basic types: Cartesian or Cartesian, cylindrical, rotary or articulated, spherical or polar, and SCARA.

(b) External equipment for automatic packaging machine automatic functions:

A complete automation structure consists of many components, among which the end-arm operating tools, material transporters, and identification/validation systems are the main components.

1, arm operating tools

A robot is a tool that uses a device attached to its end to move from one location to another. The arm end operating tool, the end effector, is a component that is used to grasp the product, move it directionally, and sense performance parameters. In packaging applications, the end effector is usually designed as a vacuum jacket, clamping jaws or a combination of both that can be used directly. Their structural solutions range from a single type of vacuum jacket to a series of vacuum jackets or an arrangement of clamping jaws.

2. Material conveying device

Material handling and handling devices are certain types of equipment that are required for the automatic movement of the product during transport, storage, and control during transmission and manufacturing. These include power transmission belts, monorail cranes, automatic guided vehicles and robots. In the packaging process, the factors that need to be taken into account in handling materials are: product shape, weight and material properties; speed, distance and direction of the product during transportation, parcels and loading; the level of control required when connecting with other devices and if Allows the re-creation of the maneuvering flexibility of the components when needed.
