Model B: Brake Pads Intelligent Weighing and Pressing System(Semi-automatic)
As a versatile core of Brake Pads Machinery, this Intelligent Brake Pads Weighing and Pressing System is engineered to support diverse brake pad production needs—from Car Brake Pads Machine to Truck Brake Pads Machine lines. It combines human-machine collaboration, flexible automation, and ultra-precise control to deliver efficiency, quality, and adaptability, making it an ideal choice for modern Brake Pads Machine manufacturing.
1. Operator Responsibilities: Critical Manual Inputs
The operator’s role is focused on initiating, monitoring, and supporting the system with precise manual tasks, laying the groundwork for automated production:
| Operator Task | Specific Actions | Importance to Production |
|---|---|---|
| 1. HMI Operation | Use the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) to start/pause/stop production, input parameters (temperature, pressure, cycle time), adjust conveyor speed, and access production data/reports. | Enables real-time control and oversight, allowing quick responses to anomalies and fine-tuning for specific production needs. |
| 2. Place Backing Plates on Molds | Inspect backing plates (for cleanliness/defects), align them with mold grooves/markers, and place them in designated positions (apply adhesive/lubricant if required). | Prevents uneven pressure during pressing and defective brake pads, ensuring structural integrity of finished products. |
| 3. Load Friction Mixture Boxes | Identify the correct mixture box for the batch, transport it to the loading area (via forklift/handcart), and insert it into the feeder/hopper (aligning dispensing openings). | Ensures a steady supply of raw materials; incorrect loading disrupts the entire production process. |
2. System Automated Procedures: Post-Operator Workflow
After the operator completes manual tasks, the system takes over with advanced, synchronized automation to drive end-to-end production:
| Automated Step | Specific Functions | Advantages for Production |
|---|---|---|
| 1. 2-Press Machine Operation | Two calibrated press machines apply adjustable pressure (based on brake pad type) and monitor pressure/temperature in real time; built-in safety features prevent overloading. | Ensures uniform pressing quality, supports dual-model production, and reduces equipment damage risks. |
| 2. Mold Layout Flexibility | Accommodates any mold layout (2×2/3×3/3×4/4×4/2×6…); X&Y-axis feeder moves according to mold layout/cavity size, and parameters adjust automatically. | Eliminates extensive reconfiguration, enabling production of diverse brake pad sizes/types (car, truck, etc.). |
| 3. Small-Box Friction Mix Loading | Detects small boxes (50kg capacity), controls dispensing rate for even distribution, and signals operators when boxes are empty. | Maintains accurate dosing, reduces waste, and ensures continuous production flow. |
| 4. Auto Finished Pad Grabbing | Robotic arms with adjustable grippers gently lift finished brake pads from molds and transport them to inspection/packaging stations. | Avoids product damage, speeds up handling, and reduces human error. |
3. Core Technical Details of the System
The system’s performance is defined by precision, flexibility, and efficiency—key to meeting high standards of brake pad manufacturing:
| Technical Feature | Specific Specifications & Functions | Value for Brake Pads Manufacturing |
|---|---|---|
| Auto Material Weighing & Dosing | – Two loading options: 50kg small boxes (small batches/precise control) and 800L tanks (large-scale production).- Weighing tolerance: ±0.5g (fraction-of-a-gram precision). | Ensures consistent material composition, adapting to batch sizes while meeting strict quality standards. |
| Auto Pre-Pressing in Material Trays | Adjustable pre-pressing force (based on material characteristics) compacts friction mixes evenly in trays. | Prevents spillage/misalignment during transport, improving subsequent processing efficiency. |
| Auto Material Feeding & Flattening | Conveyors transport pre-pressed trays; precision rollers/press plates flatten material to exact thickness (monitored by sensors for deviations). | Guarantees consistent brake pad thickness and surface finish—vital for performance. |
| Auto Mold Release & Cleaning | – Pre-cycle: Sprays a thin, even layer of mold release agent.- Post-pressing: Cleans molds with high-pressure jets, brushes, and solvent. | Extends mold lifespan, reduces downtime between cycles, and prevents contamination of new batches. |
| Weighing System Configuration | – 2 material bins (for 2 different materials) with 4 feeders each (individually controlled).- Weighing range: 40-400g (customizable). | Enables flexible friction mix formulations, supporting production of brake pads with diverse properties (e.g., car vs. truck). |
| Dual-Model Production Capability | Two press machines operate independently, producing 2 different brake pad models simultaneously (adjust parameters for each model). | Boosts efficiency, meets multi-order demands, and eliminates downtime for model switching. |
| Front-Traveling Manipulators | Manipulators move in front of the system to transport material trays, assist with mix loading, and support backing plate placement. | Enhances workflow synchronization, reducing manual material handling and speeding up production. |
| Universal Mold Compatibility | Works with any mold layout (custom or standard) for weighing and pressing, with software/sensors adapting to cavity arrangements. | Maximizes production versatility, catering to diverse market needs (from |
