Barcode Error-Proofing Management System for Feeding in the Friction Material Hopper
This system is designed for error-proof material-feeding management in the hoppers of an automated batching system for friction materials. The system comprises an industrial control computer, barcode management software, and an electrically controlled hopper-cover system, among other components. It is installed in the control room on the feeding floor. Its functions and features include: identifying the identity of the material-feeder; automatically opening the corresponding hopper by scanning a barcode according to predefined rules, with only one indicator light illuminated and one hopper cover opened at a time to prevent feeding errors; prohibiting the opening of any other hoppers unless their covers are closed; recording feeding information in the computer for traceability of feeding errors; providing a large-screen display of feeding-management information that is clear and easy to read; and automatically logging raw feeding data.
This system employs automated error-proofing through fencing and material bins, while manual weighing—under computer monitoring—ensures the precise batching of dozens of ingredients in the friction-material formulation. The system is equipped with a hand-pushed weighing cart system, a computer control system, pneumatically controlled automatic error-proofing bins, and electrically controlled automatic error-proofing fences.
Automatic Weighing and Dispensing Machine for Friction Material Mixtures
Automatic Weighing and Portioning Machine for Friction Material Mixtures This machine is designed for the automatic weighing and portioning of friction material mixtures (used in automotive brake pads). It is typically installed beneath the mixing machine; after operators manually place containers at the starting position of the roller conveyor, the machine automatically initiates the portioning process.
