模块化型材系统提供各种结构部件，用于建立几乎任何可想而过的框架，有足够的空间来开发新的想法。通常由铝制制成，型材系统提供了许多好处。它们的强度与钢相当。然而，铝制提供灵活性，多功能性和干净，有吸引力的视觉外观。预先设计的组件使用户能够减少工程和制造的延期时间。可以通过项目的所有阶段进行修改和修改和更改。这些模块化竖立架的多功能性使其适用于机器基座和框架，线性载玻片，安全防护和外壳，工作站，结构框架和材料处理。这些案例研究表明了汇编器如何使用模块化配置文件的示例。
升级到半自动的
日出医疗(朗蒙特，CO)是最大的家庭护理和延伸护理产品制造商之一。该公司生产呼吸系统产品、轮椅和移动产品，以帮助患有急性或持续性疾病的人。日出医疗与项目MB套件系统有限公司(阿克伦，OH)的想法和下一代生产线的要求。这条生产线将用于组装标准、折叠、运动、儿童和定位轮椅。以前，这些轮椅是在一条不灵活的钢铁生产线上组装的。他们的目标是用半自动生产线取代旧生产线。生产线的外观也很重要，因为它是一种营销工具——向客户展示产品的橱窗。在项目设计工程师的协助下，开发了一条新的生产线。新的手工装配生产线由八个相互连接但独立操作的工作站组成。在这条新生产线上，每小时大约可以组装60辆轮椅。 The linear system stretches 14 meters and consists of 10 workpiece carriers that can be aligned in four possible directions. The return system is located underneath the production line and is triggered semiautomatically at the push of a button. The basic elements of Item’s modular profile system consist of profiles, connecting elements and caps. The extruded aluminum profiles have longitudinal grooves for attaching connecting elements and accessories. The aluminum alloy resists weathering and many chemicals. The surface of the profiles has been specially treated to protect it against scratches and corrosion. All profiles are reusable, and the material is suitable for recycling. The profiles are also characterized by through-core bores for use with standard fastening elements and accessories. All the core bores and profile cavities can also be used as compressed air ducts. Because Sunrise Medical manufactures in the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain, Item can offer an additional benefit. Item operates distribution centers in each of these countries, and can immediately replicate this design for any of the other international production facilities. Customers can get local support and quick delivery while saving on design time. All locations can share the engineered drawings and parts lists. This assembly line is an unqualified success because it met Sunrise Medical’s needs for versatility, precision and appearance.
医疗应用中的新用途
ESWL公司的Lithowave lithotripter是一种治疗肾结石的无创设备。该系统由电液火花间隙能量源、荧光定位系统和多功能手术台组成。该设备进行体外冲击波碎石，这是一种非手术程序，冲击波由体外机器产生，集中在体内的肾结石上。冲击波将肾结石分解成更小的碎片，让它们通过人体的泌尿系统。为了产生冲击波，该装置使用了火花间隙技术，利用两个浸没在水中的电极之间放电时释放的能量。当反射的冲击波被放置在肾结石上时，冲击波在不同能量水平上对结石的反复冲击，导致其解体。石波的设计有一些鲜明的特点。这些包括将治疗单元和瞄准荧光镜定位于安装在同一轴上并围绕同一轴旋转的两个框架上。这种以中心为基础的设计比传统设计有显著的优势。系统控制台控制和监控系统。 It allows the operator to control the treatment table, the lithotripsy systems, radiology and imaging. It is usually located in a separate control room or behind an X-ray shielding partition. A touch screen interface and fluoroscopy control panel are part of the control console. Additional controls and indicators are located on the side of the lithotripter enclosure. These switches are divided into three clusters to control main power, treatment unit positioning and a water system. After the stone is localized, the operator adjusts the position of the treatment unit and establishes correct contact between the patient’s skin and the membrane of the treatment unit. This part of the procedure uses the controls located on the control panel on the side of the main enclosure. The rest of the treatment is conducted from the system console. The Lithowave uses aluminum structural framing in its design. By using Bosch Rexroth Corp.’s (Buchanan, MI) aluminum structural framing, the company has been able to build a machine that is structurally stable and aesthetically pleasing, while also decreasing assembly time. The aluminum extrusions were used for the unit’s control cart. Aluminum was also used in the main structure, because weight was also an issue. The control cart is mobile and must be moved behind lead glass when operating the lithotripter. Aluminum structural framing assists assemblers with a simple T-slot design, allowing them to simply insert a T-bolt into a T-slot and tighten. The high-strength, extruded aluminum profiles also have a natural color and anodized surface that resists scratches and corrosion. It never needs painting or maintenance. In addition to the framing’s physical characteristics and benefits, Bosch Rexroth’s FMSsoft AutoCAD-based software reduced engineering and design time by providing product visualization and generating a bill of materials. FMSsoft is a suite of software programs for layout, planning and designing structures made with aluminum structural framing. It simplifies common tasks, improves efficiency and reduces the time needed to design structures. It also provides automatic parts list generation, integrated calculation, a 3D system library and fast- functioning macros. A similar control console using welded steel would take about 2 days to build compared with aluminum structural framing. The aluminum framing can be assembled in only hours. Design flexibility and the option to customize the height and width of components also factored into the company’s decision to use aluminum framing. It costs less, is more versatile, and in the case of the Lithowave, it does an overall good job.
