Cell
Batteries
Case and terminals are named before the battery is stood on the belt.
Automotive lots, bought and sold
GUANXIEPAO LIMITED buys and sells batteries, tires, automotive parts and accessories. An automated line packs and checks each lot before the next sale.
See the lineGoods
What a lot can carry
Each kind of goods keeps its own place on the sheet. The line reads that sheet, not a mixed pile.
Round
Tires
Size and count travel with the tire. A tire without a size stays off the line.
Metal
Parts
Brakes and suspension stay in the fixture written for that part.
Trim
Accessories
Lamps, mirrors, and looms are listed beside the parts they follow.
Lanes
A mixed arrival is split first
Batteries, tires, parts, and accessories do not share a belt until each kind has its own lane and the sheet can name it.
Cell lane
Battery cases stand here. A tire is not rolled onto this belt.
Round lane
Tires stay on their rollers until size and count are read.
Metal lane
Brakes and arms sit in the nest written for that part.
Trim lane
Lamps, mirrors, and looms stay in a tray of their own.
Lot sheet
Four lines on the sheet
The automated line does not pick a piece until the sheet names the case, the size, the count, and the route.
Case
The battery case, or the part body, is the one the fixture is set to hold.
Size
Tire size and part size are written in the same row as the count.
Count
The number on the sheet is the number the crate is allowed to hold.
Route
The next station is named. A lot without a route does not leave the belt.
Automated line
Present, set, confirm, send
The production line handles one lot at a time. The next battery, tire, or part waits until this crate has been confirmed.
Present
The piece arrives in a known pose. The fixture has to read it before the arm moves.
Set
The arm puts the piece in the place the sheet named. A gap in the count holds the station.
Confirm
Pose, count, and route have to match. A miss keeps that crate where it is.
Send
The lot moves on only after confirm. The belt ahead has to be empty.
Reject
A miss never enters the crate
The arm does not set a piece the station cannot read. That piece leaves on a side lane and the lot stays open.
Pose
A piece the fixture cannot see is pushed aside.
Extra
One piece over the count does not go into the crate.
Unread
A mark the station cannot read keeps that piece off the lot.
Wait
The side lane holds it until the sheet is written again.
Handoff
Two stations, one yes
The arm and the next station both have to read the same state. One yes is not enough to move the crate.
Agree
Set has finished and the arm is clear of the crate.
Gap
The place ahead is empty before the crate rolls.
Hold
The crate stays clamped until the receiving station takes it.
One path
A second lot is not sent down the same belt.
Seal
Closed, banded, then allowed to roll
Confirm is not the last step. The lid, the band, and the mark have to be on the crate before the outfeed moves.
Lid
The lid sits flush. An open crate stays at the station.
Band
A band goes around the crate only after the lid is down.
Mark
The mark is the one the next station is allowed to read.
Release
The sealed crate waits until the belt ahead is empty.
Control
What may move, and what must stop
The line is specified with the machines around it. Motion is allowed only while the doors, the sensors, and the count agree.
Guards
Doors stay shut while the arm is in cycle. An open door takes motion away.
Sensors
Piece present, lid closed, and tool clear have to agree before the next move.
Hold
A short count or a bad pose keeps that lot on the line.
Stop
One stop halts every station on the shared belt, so the next lot is not fed.
Clear
A new lot starts on an empty belt
The next battery, tire, or part is presented only after the last crate has left and the stations report empty.
Outfeed
The last crate is off the rollers. The place it left reads empty.
Doors
Guards are shut again. The arm stays still while a door is open.
Empty
Every station on the lot reports clear before the next piece is presented.
