What does the furniture "light-off factory" look like?

Most people may not understand the "light-off factory", but in the context of Industry 4.0 today, the light- off factory refers to the realization of the entire automation and the realization of unmanned or fewer people in the entire process of production, logistics and testing.


The reason why the factory can turn off the lights is because it adopts intelligent manufacturing. "Wisdom" is informatization and digitization. "Energy" is the ability of lean manufacturing.




As a part of the furniture manufacturing industry, although customized furniture has begun to develop toward intelligence, it is still a certain distance away from the true level of intelligence. The main reasons are reflected in the following aspects.



1. Difficult order arrangement in the factory and disorderly production


The huge order volume makes it impossible for producers to start, and there is often a dizzying situation of congested production.


2. Lack of management talents for information production


At present, there is a shortage of talents in the process, production, and software, which are in short supply, and there is a shortage of supply. The cultivation of talents needs to be solid.


3. Deep-rooted traditional thinking


In the era of rapid development of informatization, traditional incumbent enterprises are difficult to adapt to the new commercial production model due to the large organizational structure and solidified thinking.



In 2011, Germany initially proposed the concept of Industry 4.0, which is to improve the level of manufacturing through the application of new technologies such as the Internet, establish smart factories with adaptability, resource efficiency and ergonomics, and integrate customers and business partners in business processes and value processes.


At present, countries are actively promoting new manufacturing development plans, and the pace of Industry 4.0 is gradually approaching.



The core of Smart Industry 4.0 is industrial intelligence. The four major themes of Industry 4.0 are smart factories, smart production, smart logistics and smart services. The smart factory focuses on intelligent production systems and processes, as well as the realization of networked distributed production facilities.


Intelligent production mainly involves production logistics management, human-machine interaction, and the application of 3D technology in the industrial production process of the entire enterprise.


The plan will pay special attention to attracting the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises, trying to make small and medium-sized enterprises become users and beneficiaries of a new generation of intelligent production technology, and at the same time become the creator and supplier of advanced industrial production technology. , Cross-platform, diversified integrated services for the purpose of customer needs.




To build an intelligent production model and investigate its root cause, we need to start with the production line. Under the impetus of "Made in China 2025", custom furniture companies have gradually used industrial robots, automated conveying equipment and CNC processing equipment to complete the process of opening, blanking, edge banding and punching of panel furniture, basically turning off lights for custom furniture factory.


The key to realizing intelligent manufacturing is the combination of software and hardware. With the rapid development of Internet information technology, the application of software technology is fully utilized in custom homes.


After the software virtual conditions are met, the choice of hardware is equally important. Having powerful hardware equipment not only optimizes the manufacturing process, but also improves production efficiency.


The following introduces several kinds of production equipment, which can achieve a high degree of numerical control and flexible intelligence.


1. Large plate cutting equipment


Although the traditional electronic cutting saw basically meets the needs of intelligent production, the milling type can be used to form the plate at the time of cutting and forming, which is convenient for automatic feeding and processing.



2. Linear profiled edge banding machining center


The special-shaped edge banding processing center can not only complete the processing of various forms of plates at one time, but also complete milling, drilling, and edge banding, which improves the traditional edge banding technology and is fully utilized by the equipment.




3. Intelligent packaging production line


Traditional packaging sorting not only takes up a lot of manpower and material resources, but also directly affects the service quality of the entire product, and the convenience of intelligent packaging is that only the board can be placed on the assembly line workbench to achieve automatic measurement and classification Board and transfer the information to the device for cutting and packaging.




In the future, the intelligentization of custom-made furniture will incorporate more technological elements, and the era of industrial intelligence of board and solid wood will also come. Through the innovation and development of intelligent production software and equipment, it is expected to realize the panel-style custom furniture light-off factory.



Roller Bearing

Roller bearing, one of the two members of the class of rolling, or so-called antifriction, bearings (the other member of the class is the Ball Bearing). Like a ball bearing, a roller bearing has two grooved tracks, or races, but the balls are replaced by rollers. The rollers may be cylinders or truncated cones. Only radial loads (i.e., loads perpendicular to the axis of rotation) can be carried when the rollers are cylindrical, but with conical rollers both radial and thrust, or axial, loads (i.e., ones parallel to the axis of rotation) can be carried. A needle bearing has cylindrical rollers that are relatively slender and completely fill the space between the races; in many cases the inner race is dispensed with. Because there is line contact between a roller and the races, while in a ball bearing there is point contact, in a given space a roller bearing can carry a greater radial load than a ball bearing.

Roller bearings are used in all main shaft and auxiliary drive shaft applications to support pure radial load, and allow for axial shaft elongation due to temperature changes with no additional load effect on the bearing. They are usually located at the ends of the turbine and compressor shafts and are often mounted in a housing, but separated from it by a layer of pressurized oil known as a squeeze film damper.

In many cases, instead of having a separate inner race for roller bearings, the [inner race" is an integral part of the shaft or stub shaft. This reduces complexity, weight, and build-up of concentricity tolerances. Overall, this is cost effective, but the cost of replacement or repair is likely to be higher than for separate inner races.
