Air Conditioning Panel Automatic Riveting Workstation | Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions

As the overall quality of life continues to improve, individuals' expectations for product quality are also increasing. In the current expanding manufacturing industry, there is a growing emphasis on efficient, precise, and environmentally friendly production processes, even for minor processes such as metal connections used as accessories.

Our client in the air conditioning manufacturing industry frequently received unfavorable feedback from the market and customers due to the frequent occurrence of rusting on the welded joints on the air conditioning panels. This issue significantly diminished the lifespan of the product. Furthermore, the manufacturing process of the panels not only relied on welding materials but also lacked automated operations, resulting in high costs for both welding materials and labor. Consequently, the customer experienced great distress and frustration. Faced with this challenging dilemma, the customer approached us with deep concerns.

After conducting a comprehensive technical evaluation and engaging in careful communication, our team has successfully developed and manufactured a customized automated riveting workstation for air conditioning panels that meets the customer's specific needs.

1. Equipment Introduction

This intelligent manufacturing equipment is specifically designed for the production of air conditioning panels. We have introduced advanced Tog-L-Log clinching technology and visual system, realizing automatic material picking, feeding and riveting operations, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Consequently, production efficiency and product quality are greatly enhanced.

2. Technical Characteristics

- Tog-L-Log clinching technology

In comparison to traditional AC resistance welding, Tog-L-Log clinching technology offers notable advantages. This technology eliminates the requirement for welding materials and utilizes mechanical pressure to insert rivets into the welding parts, creating a robust riveting point. This connection method not only prevents the issue of corroded rivet joints and prolongs the lifespan of the panels, but also reduces production and labor costs.

- Automated visual system

The workstation is equipped with an advanced visual system that is capable of automatically identifying the position, size, shape and other relevant information of the parts. This system enables precise positioning and rapid grasping. By working in conjunction with the automated robotic arm, the workstation can automatically accomplish tasks such as material collection, feeding, and riveting operations. Consequently, production efficiency and product quality are greatly enhanced.

- Enhanced efficiency and energy savings 

The workstation integrates an advanced control system and energy-saving technology, enabling precise control of the riveting process. This not only reduces energy consumption but also lowers production costs. Moreover, the elimination of the need for welding materials and anti-rust treatment further reduces production costs and minimizes environmental pollution.

3. Value Realization

- Prolonging the lifespan of finished products

The Tog-L-Log clinching technology is utilized to mitigate the problem of corroded rivet joints, thereby substantially prolonging the lifespan of air conditioning panels. This not only improves the overall efficiency of the air conditioner but also reduces the maintenance costs for the user and maintains a positive market reputation for the customer's brand.

- Cost reduction

By implementing full station automation, the workstation can greatly reduce labor costs. Moreover, process enhancements have resulted in a reduction in the expenses of pre-drilling holes before product connection and anti-rust process after connection. Furthermore, unnecessary welding materials have been minimized, leading to cost savings. These cost reductions effectively manage the manufacturing expenses of air conditioning panels.

- Enhanced production efficiency

The workstation facilitates rapid and accurate riveting operations, enabling the simultaneous riveting of multiple finished products. This highly efficient production method has greatly shortened the manufacturing cycle of air conditioning panels, thereby enhancing production efficiency and bolstering market competitiveness.

- Green and environmentally friendly

The workstation does not require the use of welding materials or the application of rust prevention treatment, thus circumventing the emission of harmful gases and pollutants. This eco-friendly production approach not only adheres to the nation's environmental conservation policies but also diminishes the expenses linked to environmental protection and the social responsibility burden on enterprises.

The air conditioning panel automatic riveting workstation is an intelligent manufacturing equipment that combines high efficiency, precision, and environmental protection. It is used for producing galvanized sheet air conditioning panels of various specifications and holds promising prospects for application. In the future, we will continue to produce products of superior quality and drive the manufacturing industry toward a more efficient, environmentally friendly and intelligent direction.
