Non-standard mechanical design refers to custom-designed machinery based on samples or requirements provided by clients. Many people may still be unfamiliar with this term, or only have a general idea of what it is. Therefore, let's briefly explain the characteristics of non-standard mechanical design.
Features of non-standard mechanical design services:
1. Emphasize the principles of design standardization, modularization, and simplification.
2. After the design is completed, product renderings in BMP and JPG formats can be exported for editing product information and creating product advertisements.
3. All two-dimensional structural drawings are automatically generated by computer based on three-dimensional digital models, ensuring the accuracy of views and dimensions, and guaranteeing a harmonious balance between drawing quality and work efficiency.
4. All 3D design software, such as CAD and Pro/E, are used to design products. They can generate the volume, weight, and center of gravity of parts, providing a reliable basis for related design and subsequent processing.
Non-standard mechanical design field
Mechanical design simply involves designing and manufacturing based on given plans and objects. Non-standard mechanical design, however, is different; it requires innovation and must be designed and manufactured without any reference points. Non-standard products cannot be substituted; they can only be gradually improved and eventually become standardized products.
Advantages of non-standard mechanical design
It not only improves quality and efficiency but also ensures production safety. Therefore, its benefits to businesses are undeniable. Non-standard machinery is customized to product needs, improving product quality and completing complex labeling processes in one go, significantly increasing work efficiency. One person can operate it, reducing workstations and saving labor costs. Operation is simple; the operator only needs to place the product into the machine and press the start button. It guarantees processing accuracy, and loading and unloading are convenient, accurate, and fast.
Prospects for Non-standard Mechanical Design
The prospects for non-standard mechanical design have always been promising. Technological advancements in manufacturing are inseparable from non-standard design work. Within enterprises, it is the lifeblood; in society, it is the vanguard of technological progress. Simply put, non-standard mechanical design refers to the design of non-standard equipment, non-standard parts, and non-standard tooling.
In the machinery industry, mechanical design is of paramount importance. So, what are the main tasks of non-standard automation designers?
If you master these 8 points, you can become a qualified non-standard automation designer!
1. Organize information: Thoroughly understand all the specific details of the original production process, as well as the current production capacity, number of workers, quality, procedures, raw and auxiliary materials, etc.
2. Analyze requirements: Understand the main objectives and requirements to be achieved by consulting with the client's supervisor;
3. Confirm the solution: Based on the two basic situations mentioned above and the available options, propose a preliminary feasibility solution and deliver it to the client for confirmation.
4. Selecting key components: After the feasibility plan is confirmed by the customer, the selection of automation components begins;
5. Parameter verification: Based on the customer's capacity requirements, design the entire process steps and verify and confirm the functions of the initially selected automated components.
6. Make a reasonable design: After the above work is completed, the design of the assembly general drawing sketch can be carried out, and the regular mechanical design workflow can begin. At the same time, electrical engineers and programmers will design and write electrical schematic diagrams and program control software based on the overall implementation plan and process flow diagram.
7. Review and Customer Confirmation: After completing the mechanical design, sourcing of automated components, machining of parts, electrical diagrams and control diagrams, and after review by the standards and confirmation by the customer, manufacturing, assembly and debugging can begin. After completion, the trial operation phase will begin.
8. On-site commissioning: After trial operation and testing, once the design requirements and customer requirements are met, the on-site installation and commissioning phase can proceed until the entire project is completed.
The above eight key aspects cover the basic operations of a non-standard automation worker and must be strictly performed according to work specifications. This will lead to better career development within the company and greater recognition from the boss.
