The equipment compartment installation process of high-speed train sets involves a large number of fasteners, with more than 6000 sets required for a single 8-car train. Recently, CRRC Guangdong Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of CRRC Group, has developed and launched an integrated device for automatic feeding, padding, and gluing of bolts. Compared to the traditional manual padding process, this intelligent equipment significantly speeds up the padding process and reduces labor time, effectively cutting down on material preparation time before operations.
Flexible Module Design for Production Adaptability
The integrated device for automatic feeding, padding, and gluing of bolts innovatively adopts an automated integration mode, equipped with a unified control system. It can automatically supply materials for bolts, spring washers, and flat washers, achieving precise assembly. From gluing to automatic arrangement and onto the tray, the device fully replaces manual operations. Facing the complex combination requirements of different specifications of flat washers, the operator only needs to call up the corresponding work program on the control interface, input the required quantity, and the device will quickly respond, automatically generating an efficient "combination" plan. It then precisely completes the assembly work based on this plan, greatly enhancing work efficiency and operational flexibility.
Pioneering Automatic Gluing for Cost Reduction and Efficiency Enhancement
Traditional manual gluing often results in uneven force and inconsistent material usage, leading to waste. This intelligent device integrates an automatic gluing mechanism that combines dispensing, conveying, and positioning functions. Through the dispensing and conveying system, it precisely and flexibly controls the amount and speed of glue delivery, quickly reaching the designated location to ensure accurate and uniform gluing. Moreover, the gluing system can quickly empty the glue, adapting to different types of lubricants, meeting diverse production needs.
In recent years, CRRC Guangdong Co., Ltd. has focused on digital and intelligent technologies, actively engaging in the research and development of new equipment, processes, and technologies through technological innovation. The bolt automatic feeding, padding, and gluing technology, as a typical example of flexible and automated assembly technology, fully demonstrates the empowering role of technological innovation, effectively enhancing the company's production efficiency and business profitability.
