"Ten years ago, when we took the first mobile phone data cable packaging order, the masters on the production line had to wear gloves and put them on the plate one by one. Now?" Standing on the observation platform on the second floor of the general assembly workshop, I pointed to the roaring assembly line below and said to the visiting customers: "See, from the feeding of circuit boards to the palletizing of finished products, the whole process depends on these "iron generals" - I'm talking about our electronic product packaging machine!" To talk about the core ability of this equipment, we have to start with the old Zhang in the circuit workshop. When the master trains his apprentices, he always says: "The packaging of electronic components is much more delicate than that of snacks. Static electricity, scratches, oxidation, any of them can kill the product." This is true! Our R&D team has designed a double anti-static barrier specifically for electronic product packaging machines: the material conveyor belt is embedded with conductive carbon fiber, and the packaging area is also equipped with an ion air curtain. When debugging equipment for a chip factory in Shenzhen last month, their quality control manager held the detector and exclaimed: "The static value after packaging is 70% lower than that of manual operation!"
When the novice Xiao Wang first operated it, he muttered: "Can this machine distinguish the front and back of the mobile phone charging head?" It really works! The high-precision positioning system of the electronic product packaging machine is not vegetarian. The visual sensor is like a golden eye, and it can complete the three-dimensional scanning of components in 200 milliseconds. When packaging Bluetooth headsets last week, several charging bins placed upside down were mixed into the production line. The equipment immediately started the correction robot arm and straightened them all in two swishes. The masters all said that this skill is more reliable than the old quality inspection who has been working for ten years.
Lao Li, the workshop director of a camera module factory in Zhejiang, has the most say. They used to use a general-purpose packaging machine, and there were always several batches of lens coatings that were scratched every month. "After changing to your electronic product packaging machine, the vacuum suction cup was replaced with a silicone suction head, and the transmission track was also added with a shock-absorbing airbag." Lao Li sighed when signing the acceptance form: "Now unpacking is like unpacking a jewelry box, and the coating integrity rate is directly aimed at 99%!"
Lao Zhou, who is engaged in electromechanics, is most proud of modular design. Last year, a customer in Dongguan wanted to package smart watches and straps of different sizes at the same time. Lao Zhou and his team came up with a solution in three days: "Replace the feeding module of the standard electronic product packaging machine with a dual-channel, and add an adjustable spacing cutter head to the sealing and cutting unit, and turn the single-task equipment into a 'Transformer'!" This flexibility is just right for the current production trend of "small batches and multiple batches" of electronic products.
Maintenance team leader Lao Wu has an exclusive note: "If you want the electronic product packaging machine to last longer, you have to learn to 'chat' with it!" He pointed to the lubrication record sheet and explained: "For example, the linear guide rail should be coated with food-grade grease every week to prevent metal wear and avoid contamination of precision components. The dust filter must be replaced more frequently, because the metal dust in the electronics factory is much more difficult to deal with than flour!" These experiences have now become the smart reminder function of the new equipment, and the maintenance animation tutorial will pop up on the operation screen at a certain time.
Customers who have visited Xiaomi's smart factory should remember that their automated production line can automatically switch production modes according to orders. Our electronic product packaging machine also has this ability! Through standardized communication protocols, the equipment can receive MES system instructions in real time. The production line that was transformed for a Suzhou customer last month was still packaging wireless headphones in the morning, and switched to smart door lock accessories at noon. Even the equipment parameters were automatically sent from the cloud.
Technical Director Lao Zhao mysteriously revealed that the next generation of electronic product packaging machines are testing "quantum-level" anti-static technology: "I'm not bragging, the composite coating we are testing now can control static electricity to a level that the human body cannot perceive!" What's even more powerful is the adaptive learning function - the equipment can remember the packaging parameters of different models of mobile phone motherboards, and automatically call up historical data when changing production, which is much more useful than the old master's notebook.
Standing at the door of the quality inspection light room, watching the electronic product packaging machine that just came off the line packaging a batch of sensors exported to Germany, I can't help but think of the years when multimeters were packaged manually 20 years ago. Today's equipment can not only "gently" treat precision components, but also hide the confidence to let "Chinese smart manufacturing" go to the world. If you are worried about the packaging yield of electronic products, you might as well come to the workshop to listen to the stories of these "iron generals" - they protect not only the products, but also every precision scale of the upgrade of China's electronic industry.
