What is the impact of informatization on the machine tool industry
The influence of informatization on the machine tool industry is mainly reflected in two aspects: machine tool form and machine tool manufacturing mode. The machine tool will no longer be an isolated processing device, but a node directly connected to the CAD/CAPP engineering design system and the MRPII management information system under the network environment, which can dynamically reconstruct the processing route, remotely manage the processing process and troubleshoot. At the same time, the production and operation process of machine tool products will also realize the networking of the entire life cycle of the product. Advanced manufacturing technology represented by agile manufacturing will become the main means for enterprises to quickly respond to market needs, and to survive and develop.
The innovation of the machine tool industry will be mainly reflected in the four aspects of business ideas and management concepts, organizational structure and management mechanisms, management norms and work processes, and management methods and manufacturing technologies, which will improve manufacturing capabilities as a whole to achieve flexible manufacturing and an effective supply chain. . With the increasing use of network technology, it is only a matter of time before the Internet enters the workshop, which will be the main symbol of digital manufacturing. In fact, if enterprise informatization is limited to business management departments (human, financial, material, production, supply, sales) or design and development and other upper-level departments of the enterprise, it is far from enough. Being able to connect into a network and not being able to provide the underlying data for the design and management of informatization will inevitably form an informatization bottleneck. Therefore, for modern manufacturing factories, in addition to increasing the CNC rate of machine tools, they must also have two-way, high-speed networking communication functions for their CNC machine tools to ensure that the information flows between the bottom of the workshop and between the bottom and the upper. Unobstructed from time to time.
At present, some developed countries in machine tool manufacturing are already very advanced in this area. For example, the new generation of machining centers launched by Japan’s Mazak not only automates the machining process and tool exchange, but is also equipped with an external device called an information tower. Including computers, mobile phones, external and internal cameras, etc., which can realize voice, graphics, video and text communication functions. The machine tool is connected to the production plan and dispatching network to reflect the working status and processing progress of the machine tool in real time. The operator needs to confirm the authority with fingerprints and observe the processing process on the screen. It is an independent and self-managed manufacturing unit. The production planning and scheduling system of the enterprise arranges a week's processing tasks and sends them to the information tower. The information tower issues instructions to the operator and displays the real-time working status of the machine tool on the screen. The operator follows the instructions on the screen. When you encounter problems, you can always consult the operating manual in your computer. Under normal circumstances, the machine tool works automatically, and the operator and the machine tool are separated in time and space. Managers and operators can query production conditions, estimated processing completion time, postponement reports and fault alarms through mobile phones. When the machine fails, the screen will display the method of troubleshooting. The Mazak maintenance center can see the problem at the same time, and provide timely help from a long distance to minimize machine downtime.
