according to automatic control system The scale of and the complexity of control means distinguish the level of automation. stay Production process In automation, the degree of automation is usually divided into three levels. ① Primary automation is mainly the automation of work cycle, that is Automatic machine tool And semi-automatic machine tools to achieve the automation of the production process, also known as stand-alone automation. In primary automation, the automation of technological process only includes each processing procedure, while assembly, inspection and finished product packaging are carried out manually or with mechanized tools. ② Secondary automation refers to the automation of machine systems, that is, the establishment of automatic production lines. In the secondary automation, various processing, inspection, assembly, packaging and other processes are configured according to the process sequence, connected with the conveying and control equipment, and the comprehensive processes other than adjustment are automatically completed. This automatic machine system is called automatic production line, or automatic line for short.
③ Three level automation refers to the comprehensive automation of the production process. The automatic chemical section, automatic workshop and automatic factory established by electronic computer, automatic control, system engineering and other technologies belong to this level of automation. It is required to solve the integrated automation problems of workpiece storage, transportation between automatic lines, waste removal, quality control and scheduling inspection in all links of the production process.
