Product upgrade without tool support of auto industry in the 1980 of the 20th century, the advent of flexible automatic production line, accelerating the replacement of automotive products, enhance the efficiency and flexibility of the enterprise, it is now that we can see dozens of new cars each year one of the reasons listed.
New multi-variety mass manufacturing system is a diversified era of auto parts manufacturing systems and manufacturing technologies should take into account diversity and economic requirements of the latest technological innovations. Many varieties of bulk-manufacturing systems including the workpiece into machines and compact flexible automatic assembly line. Requirements for different users, you must provide the transmission case of medium size and weight and bulk of several varieties of engine cylinder head manufacturing systems.
Most auto parts processing machine tool-workpiece into machine tools on top of this, there has been a revolutionary development: from development to processing centers, vertical type; has a set of tools, or power tool shaft is arranged. These tools are modular, according to processing requirements, process tool change when the change is easy. Such a multifunction or composite machines can achieve all except clamping surface processing. While chip is convenient, suitable for mass production. Processing object can also change when you change the modular tool, thus the processing product cycles are shortened, and reduce costs. While short tool changing time, omitting most of the traditional machining center tool, thus saving the tool change time.
With the advancement of technology, automotive product updates will become more and more quickly, growing diversity of demand, so that number of cars is increasing; while the engine under increasingly fierce market competition, the production volume increased uncertainty. Type manufacturing system can deal with all kinds of different parts of versatile module production programme, more suitable for multiple small-batch style of production. Also, due to the movement of the workpiece and tool chain is much shorter, simplified the structure, reducing the relative location accuracy of machine tool components, thus reducing the manufacture of machine tools.
