In the field of fastener production, the rationality of the entire production line layout has a profound impact on production efficiency, product quality, and cost control of the enterprise. LITAI Technology, as a professional enterprise that has been deeply involved in the forging industry for many years and provides the entire supply chain process services for forging enterprises, has profound insights and practical suggestions on the layout of the entire fastener production line.

I. Precise planning of the loading and heating processes
The loading and heating section marks the beginning of the assembly line layout for fasteners. Its significance is self-evident. It is crucial to precisely consider the range, duration of local heating of the forgings, as well as the speed of the pusher for the billets. Using an automatic loading elevator can achieve efficient and stable loading operations, reducing time waste and errors caused by manual intervention. Combined with a medium-frequency furnace heating induction device, it can precisely adjust the heating parameters according to different materials and specifications of fastener blanks, ensuring uniform heating of the blanks and laying a good foundation for the subsequent forging process. For example, for fasteners made of special alloy materials, precise heating control can ensure that they achieve the best plasticity during forging, improving the quality of product formation.

II. Optimizing the transportation and forging processes
After the raw material is heated, it needs to be efficiently transported to the forging workstation. At this point, the forging robotic arm or the gantry robotic arm can play a crucial role. The forging robot independently developed by Litai Technology has an average loading and unloading rate of 6 - 7 seconds per piece, and can precisely grasp the raw material and place it in the mold for forging. During this process, by properly arranging the running trajectory of the robotic arm and reducing the redundancy of the movement path, the production cycle efficiency can be significantly improved. At the same time, equipped with advanced main equipment, such as multi-link servo presses, it can not only meet the requirements of high-speed production, but also adjust the equipment operation status flexibly by controlling the movement speed of the slider, to meet the forging process requirements of different products.

III. Emphasize the lubrication and surface treatment processes
The graphite lubrication system is of vital importance during the forging process of fasteners. High-quality lubrication can effectively increase the forging speed of bolts and other fasteners, reduce mold wear, and extend the service life of the mold. LITAI Technology suggests using professional forging lubrication equipment to precisely control the spraying volume and position of the lubricant. Additionally, in cases where the surface quality of the fasteners is highly demanded, a dedicated surface treatment process should be set up after the forging. For example, using high-pressure water descaling to remove the oxide scale produced during the heating of the forging piece can significantly improve the surface quality of the forging piece, reduce surface defects, and provide a better foundation for subsequent electroplating, heat treatment, and other processes.

IV. Integration of Quality Inspection and Control System
In the overall layout, the introduction of advanced quality inspection equipment and control systems is indispensable. By utilizing machine vision inspection technology, the size accuracy and surface defects of fasteners can be detected in real time and online. Once any quality issues are identified, they can be promptly fed back to the production system, allowing for timely adjustments to production parameters or shutdown for maintenance, thus avoiding the generation of a large number of defective products. At the same time, a complete production data collection and analysis system is established to collect and analyze various data during the production process, such as equipment operating parameters, production progress, and raw material consumption, providing a strong basis for enterprises to optimize production processes and reduce costs.
In conclusion, a reasonable layout of the fastener production line is a complex system project that requires comprehensive consideration of the connections and coordination among various processes. With years of industry experience and technical accumulation, LITAI Technology can provide enterprises with a one-stop solution covering equipment selection, layout design, and production operation, helping enterprises build an efficient, stable, and intelligent fastener production system and stand out in the fierce market competition.
