Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of jig disc manufacturing technology, specifically to a jig disc feeding and return assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, more and more automation technologies are being applied to assembly line production, making it faster, easier, and more efficient. However, the return of assembly line fixtures is not yet fully automated. In shorter assembly lines, employees at both ends can transfer fixtures from one side of the line. But as the length of the assembly line increases, manual operation becomes difficult to implement. Furthermore, in longer assembly lines, due to the presence of several different machines, the spatial layout of the fixture return line is not yet mature enough. Some lines even allow fixtures to accumulate at the end of the line, and only after a certain quantity is reached do they need to be manually moved for return. This manual operation has many drawbacks. First, it requires more fixtures to buffer at both ends, increasing costs. Second, manual handling is sometimes physically demanding, increasing the overall workload of employees. Additionally, there is an extra step of loading fixtures back onto the assembly line.

[0003] To address the above problems, the present invention provides an automated and simple-to-operate jig tray feeding and return assembly. Summary of the Invention
