Production Capacity Calculation
Capacity Calculation Details
Machining Takt of Current Process
Operation OP10 and OP20 share identical machining cycle time of 25 seconds, so the machining takt is 25s per workpiece.
Auxiliary Time
Automatic loading & unloading takt: 12s per machine (including 3s air blow cleaning).
Full Line Takt Time
Machining time (25s) + Automatic loading/unloading time (12s) + Auto door opening & closing time (4s) = Total line takt of 41s per workpiece.
Equipment Availability Rate: 85%
Working schedule: 12 months per year, 22 working days per month, 2 shifts per day, 8 working hours per shift.
Output per Shift
8 × 60 × 60 × 0.85 ÷ 41 ≈ 597 pcs
Daily Output
597 × 2 = 1194 pcs
Monthly Output
1194 × 22 = 26268 pcs
Annual Output
12 × 26268 ≈ 315,000 pcs
The above capacity is a theoretical value calculated based on the current machining process, which may differ from actual production output.
The throughput of this automatic line can be improved by tool replacement and cutting parameter optimization.

Robot Motion Description
Collaborative Robot Motion Procedure
- Operators place raw workpieces on the double-layer stock bin.
- Press the start button to activate the automatic production line.
- The stock tray conveys workpieces to the robot picking station.
- The articulated robot picks raw workpieces from the stock bin.
- The articulated robot moves to Machine No.1 to unload finished parts and load new blanks.
- The articulated robot transfers the workpiece to the turning station to flip its orientation.
- The articulated robot moves to Machine No.2 for blank loading and finished part unloading.
- Based on the fixed batch machining parameter set in the automation system, after several machining cycles, the robot transfers finished workpieces to the air blow cleaning bin for chip removal. Afterwards, it moves to the inspection station to measure surface dimensions of each workpiece: qualified workpieces are placed back onto the double-layer tray, while defective pieces are dropped into the NG collection bin.
- The above cycle repeats continuously until all workpieces in the stock bin finish machining, then the system alerts operators to unload completed parts.

2. Articulated Robot Base Mount
Description: The base mount of the articulated robot is mainly used for robot fixing. Besides, its height design enables the robot’s maximum reach to fully cover the loading and unloading space of the machine tools.
3. Articulated Gripper Unit
Gripper schematic
According to the machine tool loading requirements, a 2-station gripper is adopted. The gripper is equipped with two sets of standard 3-jaw pneumatic fingers to clamp workpieces, meeting the demands of workpiece picking and internal workpiece exchange inside the machine tool.
The gripper is fitted with sensors for workpiece presence detection and jaw open/closed state detection. It features a function to prevent workpieces from falling in case of air cut-off or power failure.
Subject to detailed design drawings.
4. Double-LayerPneumaticInterchangeableMovingPallet
Gripper schematic
Description: In accordance with workpiece characteristic requirements, double-layer stacking pallets are adopted. The pallets are driven by air cylinders for horizontal in-and-out movement. Each pallet can hold 50 workpieces, with 4 pallets in total, delivering a total storage capacity of 200 parts. Note: The tooling pallets can be directly replaced when switching production batches.
5. Inspection Station
- 1.Outer diameter inspection
- 2. Servo-driven vertical sliding stage
- 3. Length inspection
- 4. Pneumatic sliding stage
Description
Inspection of the workpiece is realized by the movement of servo electric cylinder to complete measurement at different positions:
- Item 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7: Dimension inspection via contact sensors;
- Item 6: Inner bore dimensional precision inspection by air tightness test.
If the dimensional inspection result is qualified, the workpiece will be placed back to the material pallet. If the workpiece dimension fails the inspection, the manipulator will transfer the workpiece into the NG collection bin.
6. Air Blow Cleaning Bin
Description
The air blow cleaning bin is mainly used to remove metal chips on workpiece surfaces, so as to guarantee the measurement accuracy during workpiece inspection on the inspection station.
Note
The detailed structure shall be subject to the final design.
7. Turning Station
According to the workpiece machining process requirements, the design of the turning station for this project is shown in the figure on the right. It is mainly composed of a fixed base and clamping gripper.
By adjusting the robot posture, the workpiece is rotated 180 degrees to meet the posture requirement for machining in the next process.
8. Safety Guard System
To ensure personnel safety, safety guarding is installed around the robot, which is equipped with safety doors fitted with door interlock switches.
The door interlock switches are interlocked with the robot control system. When the safety door is opened, the robot will stop automatically to protect operators.
The actual guard height shall comply with customer requirements.
After-Sales Service
- After the equipment is installed in place, debug it in time.
- Reply within 12 hours according to the customer's telephone and email questions.
- During the warranty period (one year), the maintenance caused by non-human shall be borne by our company; After insurance, spare parts and repair are provided with a fee charged.
