Constant and correct supply of components essential
Bulk parts are usually added to the production or assembly of a product or part of a finished product. These components must be supplied constantly and properly for continuous production. For example, supplying these (bulk) components can be random or ordered, and then added. The method of supply depends on the situation and the application. There are several systems for supplying parts to production lines. Examples include, for example, tray handlers, linear feed on a tire or turntable, space centrifugal feeders, vibrators and feed through inline production machines. Inline production machines must then be added to the assembly line of the finished product again.
Non-rigid parts and troublesome volume demands demand customization
Parts of products are not always sizeable and conformable and will change shape when touched. For this type of parts, no standard product recordings and / or delivery systems can be applied and product-specific solutions must be devised. This is the expertise of Z-tech. Examples of specific solutions in the field of supply technology in production lines have provided Z-tech to the pharmacy (including stacking and unloading of blood bags and the supply and delivery of carrousel carcasses for breast implants), the automotive industry (perforated prefabricated flexible punches For coolers or complex volumes such as trailer hooks for the automotive industry).
Important elements of supply technology
When supplying parts to the production or assembly lines, it is essential that the malfunction is minimized and damage to the component is prevented. At high volumes, an autonomous operation of the system is important, because little or no personnel need to be deployed. Especially when it comes to repetitive work at a high speed. Choosing the right feed technology and the implementation in the production or assembly line is very important for good and fast production and will therefore always be viewed with the utmost care and applied in good consultation.
