Digital Automated Machining Cell for Multi-Variety Precision Parts

Customer Pain Points

Core Requirements:
This project targets multi-variety precision-part machining, delivering a customized digital, automated solution for the full-process coordination of turn-mill machining, automatic loading/unloading, and optical inspection across nine types of precision parts.
Existing Bottlenecks:
Part machining, loading/unloading, and inspection all rely on manual labor—high labor intensity, low efficiency, and human error compromising machining and inspection accuracy, failing to meet high-quality requirements.
Lacking automated transfer, flipping, and pallet-management equipment, process flow is disjointed and cannot form a closed loop.
With no unified digital control system, capabilities in production scheduling, equipment coordination, and process traceability are weak, making it hard to orchestrate batch production of the nine part types. An integrated digital machining cell is urgently needed to achieve dual gains in efficiency and quality.

Core Machining & Inspection Unit: Integrates one domestic high-precision 9-axis turn-mill machining center with one imported optical measuring device, handling precision turn-mill machining and post-machining accurate inspection respectively; the two work in coordination to secure quality. CHINAF completes full equipment coordination, adaptation, and commissioning.
Automation Execution Unit: Deploys one fixed six-axis robot, supported by CHINAF's pallet transfer system, workpiece flipping mechanism, and pallet in/out stations, enabling precise transfer between machining and inspection equipment, automatic flipping, and orderly in/out feeding with no manual intervention, adaptable to the loading/transfer needs of all nine part types.
Digital Control & Safety Unit: Equipped with HF-PCS production management software to orchestrate full-process scheduling, enabling real-time monitoring of production progress and equipment status plus process traceability. A CHINAF safety system provides all-around protection for equipment, personnel, and parts, ensuring stable operation of the entire cell.

Full-Process Automation, Higher Efficiency: Through the 6-axis robot working with CHINAF automation and the PCS system, the full-process closed loop is achieved for all nine part types, cutting manual intervention by over 90% and raising process-handoff efficiency by 65%, solving manual-operation pain points and boosting batch-production capability.
High-Precision Control, Guaranteed Quality: Relying on the domestic nine-axis turn-mill center and imported optical inspection equipment, combined with CHINAF's automation system, human error is reduced, securing machining consistency and yield rate for all nine part types and meeting high-precision production needs.
Digital Coordination, Empowering Lean Production: The HF-PCS system delivers cell-wide digital control with full process traceability and 100% data-sync accuracy, eliminating manual scheduling and greatly lowering labor and management cost, supporting lean production.
High-Adaptability Integration, Lower Upgrade Cost: CHINAF provides full-process integration serving all nine part types, enabling variety switch without frequent equipment adjustment and without major rework of the existing line, reducing retrofit and O&M cost.
