The assembly plant is the place where all parts are put together to assemble a product. In this area, it is common to find air conveyors that make the operations easy. Below we explain all the uses that an air conveyor system has when it is implemented in your operations’ processes:
1. Assemble pieces
One of the most important uses of the air conveyor systems is when assembling the pieces. The air conveyors move the pieces to take them to places where they are finished. This process is prior to feed the assembly line.
For example: in a paint booth, the air conveyors help to transport the piece and set it in the right position so that the painting service can be accurate and as fast as possible.
2. Feed the assembly lines
Another advantage that we can get from the air conveyor systems and the process of assembling pieces is that the preprocessed pieces arrive directly to the assembly lines.
There is an industry trend called “Pull” where all manufactured pieces follow a definite and automatic process that guarantees the delivery and exit of the production plant. The idea is to have few materials at the storehouse or waiting for being used.
The air conveyors can finish their work by delivering the piece at the assembly line or can wait for the assembly and take it to the next phase of the work.
The immediate advantages that an air conveyor system provides are the following points:
- Increase productivity
- Provide higher speed and accuracy on the operational processes.
- Provide ergonomic support
- Save space
- Offer security to the operation and to the operators.
The lack of continuity in your work processes result in multiple critical points that will severely affect your delivery times and your products’ quality. In GIEICOM, we create organic designs with automatic tools that will give the competitiveness you are expecting for your company.
