Core Technical Specifications: Key Performance Indicators for Custom‑Built Equipment
Though custom‑built automation equipment is non‑standard, its performance shall be defined and evaluated by a set of critical parameters.
Mechanical Structural Accuracy: Foundation for stable equipment operation. ‑ Repeat Positioning Accuracy: Core indicator for equipment stability. For critical stations such as part removal and insert loading, accuracy within ±0.1 mm is generally required; high‑end applications demand ±0.02 mm ~ ±0.05 mm. ‑ Rigidity & Levelness: Base leveling tolerance ≤0.1 mm/m, ensuring stability during high‑speed operation and preventing part misalignment caused by shaking.
Electrical & Control Performance: Determines the intelligence of equipment. ‑ PLC Control System: Mainstream brands include Siemens, Mitsubishi. Reserve 20 % I/O point margin; support industrial buses such as Profinet / EtherCAT to guarantee response latency ＜10 ms for multi‑device interlocking. ‑ HMI Human‑Machine Interface: Typically ≥10‑inch touchscreen; operation hierarchy ≤3 levels for fast parameter setup and product recipe switching by operators.
Production‑Efficiency Indicators: Directly related to return‑on‑investment. ‑ Cycle Time: For injection‑molding‑linked automation, complete sequences including part picking, inspection and tray‑loading shall finish within 15 s upon mold opening (for a 20‑s molding cycle), with reserved buffer time. ‑ Capacity Compliance Rate: For 8‑hour continuous‑run operation, deviation between actual output and designed capacity shall be ≤2 %.
Safety & Environmental‑Protection Compliance: Guarantee operational safety and regulatory conformity. ‑ Ingress Protection Grade: Injection‑molding workshops feature oil mist and dust; core equipment such as robots shall reach IP54 or higher. ‑ Safety Standards: Emergency‑stop buttons comply with ISO 13850, response time ≤0.5 s. Equipment operating noise ≤75 dB. ‑ Special‑Industry Requirements: Food‑ & medical‑grade equipment adopts 304 stainless steel with surface roughness Ra ≤0.8 μm.
Customization & Selection Guidelines
Custom‑built automation shall be treated as a system‑level project instead of standalone hardware.
‑ Define solutions based on actual pain points: Clarify primary objectives: labor reduction (packaging & palletizing), quality improvement (vision inspection), or safety enhancement (insert embedding). Build automation workflows around core requirements. ‑ Define accuracy requirements according to product features: Determine robot axis quantity and repeat positioning accuracy based on product complexity. 3‑axis robots suffice for general consumer goods; 5‑axis robots are required for precision electronics or irregular‑shaped workpieces. ‑ Define integration scope according to manufacturing processes: Confirm required post‑processing steps (trimming, inspection, labeling etc.). This governs end‑effector design and overall system control complexity. ‑ Build flexibility for future production: If multiple product variants will run on the same line, prioritize flexible design. Adopt quick‑change fixture assemblies (change‑over ≤10 min) and one‑click recipe switching via HMI. ‑ Select qualified suppliers: Custom‑built equipment heavily relies on supplier technical competence and industry experience. Evaluate relevant reference cases (preferably for similar products), in‑house design capability vs simple assembly‑only business model, and after‑sales‑service response speed.
