Recently, 18 aluminum template automation production lines independently developed by Shengtong Group have been officially put into production. This is the first aluminum template automation production line in China with the highest degree of automation and the most complete integrated process, with an automation rate of 78%. As a benchmark project of automatic production line in the industry, this project leads the upgrading and transformation direction of intelligent manufacturing in China's aluminum formwork industry.
Shengtong Group, located in Changsha, Hunan Province, is one of the leaders in the domestic aluminum processing industry. Since its establishment in 2003, the company has always persisted in promoting the research and development and innovation of efficient application of aluminum alloy. Since September 2020, its equipment R & D and design team has invested more than 40 million yuan to continuously promote the upgrading of the automatic production line through innovation, and has experienced the innovation and replacement of three generations of structures, such as horizontal trusses, vertical trusses and gantry structures. At present, 18 self-developed automatic production lines of aluminum formwork have achieved batch and stable production, with a qualified rate of 98.5%, a delivery time more than twice as fast as that of their counterparts, and a monthly production capacity of 100000 square meters.
In the past, the production and processing of aluminum formwork was generally completed by complicated processes such as linear saw, single row punching, slot milling machine, manual welding and so on. With high labor intensity, low processing efficiency and high professional requirements of skills, the technical level and working specifications of welding operators have a great impact on product quality. At the same time, due to the harm of arc and welding dust to health, the number of welding workers is decreasing, and the production cost is increasing day by day.
As the first fully automatic production line of aluminum template in China, the production line enables the whole aluminum template processing and production to realize the automatic control of the whole process from aluminum template feeding, sawing, punching, groove milling, steel milling, automatic welding and palletizing of finished products, which has the advantages of high machining precision, high degree of automation, simple and convenient operation and so on. Take the wall formwork as an example, the workload of manual welding of 10 people in the past can now be completed by only 1 person, and the general labor of the whole production line is no more than 2, which is nearly 10 times higher than that of manual welding. at the same time, it can reduce the operation risk of welding operators and effectively protect the health of employees.
In April this year, the first flexible production line of aluminum formwork non-standard parts built by Shengtong Group will also be put into mass production, adding strength to meet the diversified needs of future market changes. On this basis, Shengtong aluminum mold R & D team will continue to promote the research and development of sorting-free assembly system this year to achieve zero-defect delivery of templates, in order to achieve production automation, information, integration, visualization and modularization, to create a high-level, high-efficiency, high-quality, low-cost, low-pollution industrial 4.0 green factory.
