Offer world-class spare parts to deserve to send for manufacturer of world-class machine tool

The spare parts of 092903m2) deserves to sent area to undertake automation is transformed. The area that passes face-lifting used top storage system, contain module of 13 perpendicular elevator (VLMs) , still one can carry the tray storage device that exceeds large part. This one area provides support by automatic stow crane. Still electronic label assists the assistance of choose technology, order processing system can reach 2000 order in the processing in 5h order, double this one speed is Mazak current requirement, still take the space that replacement upgrades after having for its at the same time. "We hope to own a such systems, can fill in quickly namely order, run 46000 different spare parts number, involves part arrives as a child big, arrive lightly heavy everything needed is ready. " Trammel say. Besides can provide patulous in existing space capability besides, mazak still reduced labor demand 44% , productivity increased 80% . Mazak of market of patulous North America may not is not the name of a widely known besides machine tool industry, but it is the manufacturer of metallic cut aircraft with the biggest whole world however, 8 production factories are set in Japan, United States, England, Singapore and China, set 30 technologies center in the whole world. The area that is located in Kentucky can produce the product of more than 30 kinds of different type for the factory of 500000ft2, manufacturing efficiency is every months of 130 station machines. The inventory of center of after service spare parts keeps the goods in more than 65 million dollar from beginning to end, the equipment of each numerical control that sells in the Western Hemisphere for Mazak offers spare parts to support (graph 1) . Graph 1 spare parts deserves to send a center to be the equipment of high quality machine tool that sells in North America market to provide support " Mazak had a large number of investment to its after service, because we discover our equipment is to run 24h everyday in numerous manufactory,this is, move 7 days every week. " Trammel say, "Profit of client use choice is made and muti_function equipment, through reducing labour force, setting uninterrupted power supply and multinomial operation reduce cost. In this kind of environment, whether can offer a spare parts quickly to appear very important. " before undertaking upgrading recently to the demand of automation, tray goods shelves and 12 VLM include in the storehouse of Mazak, these size that compare new-style device want a lot of smaller. And, this system is completely artificial operation: Be in VLM place, the position that operation personnel can be on the side of every goods shelves guides spare parts position is examined on the graph, in order to make clear the tray number that they need, next the hand is moved key in this number with consign this tray. After be being arrived at when tray, operation personnel needs to be opposite 50 or the part that 60 spare partses have sort be appointed with finding indent to go up. Subsequently, the order that employee gives choose takes choose area, complete pair of parts in this one area pack and consign. It is the hand is moved not just carry brought a challenge for the company. "Do not have a person to be able to order a part at 8 o'clock in the morning. " Trammel say, "Hardware order for goods is to arrive afternoon normally, but we still need to handled these order instantly that day. To can be in the time of 6h paragraph inside handle 1200 order as far as possible, we threw more and more able-bodied person below this kind of circumstance. " accordingly, it is OK to undertake to spare parts area automation is transformed saying is a kind of indispensible solution, it can make Mazak administers more spare parts and the order that day, and need not add able-bodied person continuously. Increase the transformed a process to last to be less than 6 months time of center of automation degree spare parts, 19000 new spare parts number increased inside this paragraph of time. This solution includes 13 new-style VLM, be divided inside 4 area of relay choose workstation. Every tray can bear at most weight is 1100lb(1lb=0.

The spare parts of 453592kg) . Tray itself width is 8ft (1ft = 0.

3048m) , deepness is 34 In (1 In=0.

0254m) . Among them a VLM is larger burden plant, special design is used at storing bigger heavier spare parts (graph 2) . These device are combined together, formed the choose area with a long 125ft jointly, a conveyer belt is before its. Automatic consign of Nextpage graph 2 VLM deposits the spare parts VLM that manages by the center to also have electronic label to assist choose technology. A light in device in front shine, will operate personnel guiding to come the accurate seat that wants seat of choose spare parts, show the amount that wants choose and spare parts number at the same time. The high density that same space can accommodate VLM of more spare parts to offer stores means allows Mazak to withhold larger space in spare parts storehouse, and deposit what this secures a space ability to rise at the same time 95% . Compare, vintage VLM can handle 20000 alone spare parts number, and new-style VLM nowadays besides can handle all outside these spare parts number, plus number of another 19000 spare partses, make Mazak can handle the part of new-style equipment model smoothly thereby. In addition still 7000 exceed large part to also store go up in the goods shelves of storehouse. To ensure the accuracy of order, mazak still founded to examined a system at 5 o'clock by pilot of storehouse management system: 1) storehouse ensures can withhold enough much stock, in from after order is being received over there the client, the meeting in inventory has corresponding spare parts stock up; 2) label on every spare parts have a form code, use at undertaking discriminating; 3) the stock measure of the goods that the smooth belt on every tray indicates choose of client order demand and spare parts name; 4) place article when the staff member in material or blank bin, oneself is met the digital information of redisplay choose order (graph 3) ; Graph technology of choose of label of use electron of 3 operations personnel places his from spare parts of the choose in tray go up in small material or blank bin 5) packing area, be opposite before consign will the article of consign undertakes checking, in order to examine its whether with original order conform to (graph 4) . Graph 4 after choose is finished, the spare parts will be sent to come the station that pack, so that at any time consign checked accuracy of systematic general choose this at 5 o'clock from 98% increase to 99.

67% . This system added to deposit not only spend thick and fast, great still the productivity that improved operation personnel. "Before, we use 9 employee, every employee handles 111 order everyday. " Trammel say, "In arrive from choose spare parts in taking a spare parts to undertake packing this one process, what what we do is to make sure order is handled smoothly. " new-style system needs 5 employee to operate only, and every employee can handle 200 order everyday. The order number of horary choose added every employee 80% -- before it is the choose when every job 13.

9, can amount to 25 times now. In addition, the order of consign was counted that day quantity from 95% increase to 97.

5% . Trammel say: "In the environment that such every Nature's engineering make 24h, weekly work 7 days nowadays, solving this one problem is a tremendous progress undoubtedly. Solving this one problem is a tremendous progress undoubtedly.. CNC Milling CNC Machining
