摘要:
The present invention relates to a versatile production system and a pallet for use therein. An object of the present invention is to provide a pallet having a communication-memory unit that enables communication of data acquired in each assembling process or testing process on a versatile production line so as to improve workability, and that stores the data. A pallet (101) of the present invention loads a product body on a versatile production line for assembling and testing multiple products. The pallet(101) comprises a communication-memory unit (102) that enables communication and storage of information data acquired in each assembling or testing process on the versatile production line, and that is emplaced in the side surface, top, or bottom of the pallet so as to enable communication and detachment, and a storage area that is an indentation for accommodating subassemblies or test equipment that are placed therein, or a basket-like enclosure. The communication-memory unit (102) matches the flow of products and information, and is attached to a product or a pallet. Thus, the communication-memory unit (102) enables communication of manufacturing data including the product type of each product via line terminals during transportation.
摘要:
A versatile production system produces different kinds of products in small quantities. The system includes production lines for assembling parts into different kinds of products, testing the assembled products, and conveying the products that have passed the tests to a collective packing terminal. Each production line has a pallet feeder for feeding pallets one by one to the start of the production line. Each production line has a bypass structure. The bypass structure includes a first switcher (1), a a main line (2), a bypass line (3), and a second switcher (4). The first switcher (1) determines whether or not a product conveyed on a pallet must be repaired or tested, and according to the determination, switches the pallet and product from the production line to one of the main and bypass lines. The main line (2) receives pallets and products switched thereto by the first switcher (1) and conveys same. The bypass line (3) receives pallets and products switched thereto by the first switcher (1) and conveys them slower than the main line (2), or temporarily stops them. The second switcher (4) switches pallets and products from the main and bypass lines to the production line. The collective packing system packs products conveyed on pallets and returns the emptied pallets to the respective production lines.

The present invention relates to a parts supply system applied to a versatile production line, which strives to eliminate manual labor and prevent misdelivery. The parts supply system includes at least one of the product assembling sites (3) on the production line, at least one of the parts supplying sites (4), at least one of the unit assembling sites (5), at which units are assembled from parts delivered from a warehouse and a plurality of sets are arranged with the units, and a delivery means for delivering the set automatically between each of the product assembling sites (3) and each of the parts supplying sites (4) by an automatic carrier (2) or conveyors.

摘要:
A pallet feeder feeds pallets individually to a production line that assembles a product on each pallet and tests the product. The pallet feeder may be used for a versatile production system employing a production line for producing different kinds of products. The pallet feeder comprises: a lateral alignment means (435) for laterally aligning a pallet with respect to a conveying direction of the pallet (401); a longitudinal alignment/hold means (424) for longitudinally aligning and holding the pallet (401); a feeding means for individually feeding the pallet (401) to the start of the production line; a vertical drive means (423) for vertically moving the lateral alignment means, longitudinal alignment/hold means, and feeding means; and a control means for driving said vertical drive means in a downward direction, holding the top pallet stacked beside the pallet feeder with the longitudinal alignment/hold means (424), driving said vertical drive means in an upward direction, laterally aligning the pallet (401) with said lateral alignment means, pushing the pallet (401) toward the production line with said feeding means, releasing the pallet (401) from said longitudinal alignment/hold means (424) onto the production line, retracting said feeding means, and repeating these operations.
