Which brands are used for key components? Is it an ordinary configuration or high-end configuration? Any equipment is not the more expensive the better, but the more appropriate the better. In addition, if the price is really expensive, we also need to know the reason why expensive. When you go to a supplier's factory for a factory inspection, it is recommended that you take an engineer and the head of the production department with you.
2, the technical parameters of the equipment
such as the maximum processing size or weight, or travel, the fastest time, the average efficiency. In particular, some of the equipment purchased, whether to save labor, or in order to introduce automation, you need to know the following details in advance:
Installation and use of the environment, such as spraying and welding operations, etc.;
Manual operation of the product quality is unstable or can not meet the customer's requirements;
Products are large or heavy, the manual operation of the difficulty.
Long production cycle and life of the product. For automation solely for the purpose of saving labor, prudent evaluation is recommended.
Stability of processed parts: Is the quality of the product flowing downstream stable. If the parts are not stable, the quality of the products processed by the equipment may not be as good as that of manual labor, which may also cause frequent downtime of the equipment.
The complexity of the processing operation: the complexity of the operation determines the cost of automation equipment and the feasibility of automation equipment technology. Even with industrial robots, complex assembly operations are difficult to realize.
Packaging of processed parts: If you want to realize automatic loading, you need to change the original packaging method so that the loading device can grasp the parts, due to the change of the packaging method of the cost of the increase in automation costs need to be calculated into the cost.
Separability of processed parts: If you want to realize manual loading, you need to evaluate the separability of parts. This is especially true for small parts such as screws.
3, list the purchase of the equipment customers
The best reputation of the equipment comes from the market. Good equipment must not lack of weighty customers.
4., after-sales issues (MRO category)
such as key accessories, wearing parts and other corresponding costs. Equipment maintenance costs must be known in advance. Because many equipment maintenance costs are very high. Not including the cost of time.
