Makino Automatic Graphite Production Line

The equipment uses a flexible system of highly repeatable production processes, an automated transport unit, systematically connecting machining centers, pallet loading, and operators to get machined parts with little or no operator operation.

During the processing, real-time monitoring can be performed, and the status of the workpiece can be recorded and displayed.

Through the implementation of automation, a lot of work is forced to be done in the early stage, such as: fixtures standardization, reducing personnel training time and errors, programming standardization, designing the height of the fixture and reference point into CAD; electrode materials’ standardization, purchasing fewer types to cut costs.

All processed data are included in the system, and can be exported to make management reports in real time.

When the worker puts the workpiece into the warehouse, it does not affect the machine tool to continue processing. Workpiece handling, clamping, positioning, program transfer, and machine tool processing and supervision are fully automated.

The workpiece can be placed in the material warehouse at will, and the robot will automatically scan and determine the relevant information. The processing program is determined according to the work order when the blank is loaded, and the human error is minimized.

Professional engineers are responsible for critical work that will go wrong, while operators are only responsible for loading and unloading work parts, and promoted to unit manager.
