1. Raw material transportation: automated start, precise positioning
Raw material transportation is the first step in the production process of fully automated paper tube machines, and it is also the basis for ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent processes. At this stage, the equipment can automatically and continuously feed paper or cardboard into the production line through a precisely designed conveying system. In this process, advanced sensor technology and PLC (programmable logic controller) work together to achieve accurate identification and positioning of raw materials, effectively avoiding misplacement or accumulation of raw materials, and ensuring the smooth operation of the production line. In addition, some high-end models are also equipped with a raw material quality detection system that can monitor key parameters such as humidity and thickness of paper in real time during transportation, further ensuring the quality stability of paper tubes.
2. Gluing: intelligent gluing, firm bonding
Gluing is a key step in the paper tube forming process, which is directly related to the structural strength and durability of the paper tube. The fully automated paper tube machine adopts an advanced automatic gluing system, which can accurately control the amount of glue, gluing position and gluing speed according to the preset program to ensure that each piece of paper can be firmly and evenly bonded. Compared with traditional manual gluing, automatic gluing not only greatly improves production efficiency, but also significantly reduces glue waste, which is in line with the green production concept of modern industry. In addition, some advanced gluing systems also have self-cleaning functions, which effectively avoids the blockage problem caused by glue drying and ensures the stability of long-term operation.
3. Winding process: servo drive, roundness guarantee
The winding link is the key step to wind the glued paper into a tube. The fully automatic paper tube machine adopts a high-performance servo motor to drive the winding mechanism. By precisely controlling the speed and torque of the motor, the uniformity and roundness of the paper tube during the winding process are ensured. The application of servo motors not only improves the forming accuracy of paper tubes, but also enables the equipment to flexibly adjust the diameter and wall thickness of paper tubes according to different production needs, meeting the diversified needs of the market. At the same time, the closed-loop control characteristics of the servo system effectively reduce the errors caused by mechanical wear or load changes, ensuring the consistency and stability of paper tube production.
4. Cutting link: automatic follow-up cutting, accurate and efficient
The cutting link is the last forming process in paper tube production, which is directly related to the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the final product. The fully automated paper tube machine is equipped with an advanced automatic follow-cut device, which can quickly and accurately complete the paper tube cutting operation according to the preset cutting length. During the cutting process, the movement trajectory of the tool is precisely controlled by a precise control system to ensure that the cut is neat and without warping, and the cutting length can be selected and adjusted, which greatly meets the personalized needs of customers. In addition, the automatic follow-cut device also has a self-protection function. Once an abnormal situation is detected, such as tool wear or material blockage, it will immediately stop working and sound an alarm to ensure production safety.
V. Collection and sorting: intelligent homing, efficient management
The collection and sorting of finished paper tubes is the finishing work of the fully automated paper tube machine production process and is also an indispensable part of realizing production automation. At this stage, the equipment automatically delivers the cut paper tubes into the collection area through an integrated automatic collection system and arranges them in order. Some high-end models are also equipped with an intelligent identification and classification system, which can automatically classify and store paper tubes according to their specifications, quality and other information, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of warehouse management. In addition, the automatic collection system also reduces manual intervention, reduces labor intensity, and improves the cleanliness and safety of the production environment.
