Equipment Development Process
I. Determine the development project and understand customer needs
1. Product quality requirements
2. Equipment production efficiency requirements
3. Equipment operating environment
II. Product Analysis
1. Understand the product manufacturing process
2. Understand the product's dimensional requirements and incoming material conditions.
3. Communicate with customers about precautions during the product manufacturing process.
4. Technical parameters of the equipment at the location of use
III. Proposed Plan
The engineers discussed and analyzed the equipment plan, which included:
1. Equipment schematic diagram (overall schematic diagram, partial schematic diagram)
2. Introduction of each department
3. Action Description
4. Equipment Technical Parameters
IV. Plan Review
A review team composed of engineering personnel will review the plan, and the review will include:
1. Equipment feasibility assessment
2. Equipment cost assessment
3. Evaluation of equipment production efficiency
4. Feasibility assessment of each structural component
V. Plan Rectification
The issues raised during the review of the proposal will be rectified.
VI. Client confirms design scheme
The design proposal is given to the client, who then makes the final decision based on their needs.
VII. Design and Development
The engineering department will arrange engineers to design the mechanism, produce machine assembly drawings and parts drawings (parts are labeled according to national standards), select the actuators and electrical control accessories, and list the parts to be processed and the purchase order for standard parts, as well as the operation manual.
VIII. Institutional Review
A review team composed of engineering personnel will review the designed drawings. The review will include the following:
(1) Whether the machine structure is reasonable: functionality (capacity and precision), stability, safety, humanization (ease of operation) and appearance.
(2) Whether the production efficiency of the designed machine meets the customer's needs.
(3) Machine cost.
(4) Each part of the mechanism should be simple and easy to debug and maintain.
(5) Each part should be as simple and easy to process as possible.
(6) Whether the selection of each actuator is reasonable.
IX. Parts Machining and Standard Parts Procurement
1. The parts processing department processes machine parts according to the parts drawings (part processing must be strictly carried out in accordance with the parts drawings, the parts accuracy and processing technology, to ensure the parts accuracy and processing technology).
2. Purchasing personnel contact suppliers to procure standard parts according to the standard parts list.
10. Inspection and warehousing of machined parts and standard components
Inspectors check the dimensional accuracy, machining process, and standard parts model and installation dimensions of the machined parts according to the parts drawings and standard parts list. After passing the inspection, the parts are handed over to the warehouse staff for storage.
XI. Machine Assembly
1. The assembly department will arrange personnel to assemble and debug the machines. The assembly personnel will collect the parts to be processed and the standard parts from the warehouse according to the parts to be processed and the standard parts list.
2. Assembly personnel strictly follow the assembly drawings when assembling the machine:
a) Are all parts and actuators assembled correctly?
b) All moving parts move smoothly without interference.
c) Ensure all fasteners and joints are securely tightened and reliably connected.
3. The Industrial Control Department will arrange for electrical engineers to perform machine power distribution, machine programming, and debugging according to the operating instructions.
12. Machine Debugging
Assembly personnel debug the machine according to the product engineering drawings provided by the customer. After debugging, a sample is made and delivered to the customer for quality confirmation.
13. Packaging and Shipping
1. Inspect all fasteners and joints to ensure they are properly tightened and securely connected.
2. Clean the exterior of the equipment and affix necessary signs and markings.
3. Mark the split locations, straighten out the split pipelines, and split the equipment reasonably.
4. Necessary protective measures (rust prevention, moisture prevention).
5. Prepare machine spare parts, operation manuals, wiring diagrams, and other technical documents.
