Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a profile processing production line. Background Technology

[0002] Curtain walls, as an important component of modern architecture, are widely used in the exterior decoration of buildings such as office buildings, large shopping malls, hotels, airports, train stations, stadiums, museums and cultural centers.

[0003] Due to its superior properties such as light weight, high strength, and strong corrosion resistance, aluminum profiles have become the main component of curtain walls and hold an irreplaceable and important position in the construction industry.

[0004] The processing of aluminum profiles for curtain walls typically involves multiple steps, including loading, unloading, transfer, sawing, drilling, and milling. These operations are often performed at different workstations, placing high demands on the coordination of machinery and processing precision. However, current aluminum profile processing for curtain walls mainly relies on traditional production methods, with manual operation of processing equipment remaining the mainstream. This processing method presents the following problems: High labor intensity: Workers need to perform repetitive operations for long periods of time, which puts a heavy burden on their bodies.

[0005] Long processing cycle: Low efficiency in connecting various processes limits the overall processing speed of the production line.

[0006] High labor costs: Due to the strong dependence on manual labor, labor costs are difficult to reduce.

[0007] Inefficiency: Insufficient equipment utilization and production efficiency that fails to meet the high quality and high efficiency requirements of the modern construction industry.

[0008] Existing automated production lines mostly focus on single-sided processing capabilities and cannot efficiently and collaboratively process multiple surfaces of profiles simultaneously. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a profile processing production line that can adapt to various specifications of curtain wall aluminum profiles and realize simultaneous processing of multiple surfaces such as the top and sides, thereby greatly improving processing efficiency.

[0010] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows: A profile processing production line includes a frame, a first gantry frame, at least one clamping device for clamping profiles, at least one first profile processing equipment for processing the top surface of the profiles, at least one second profile processing equipment for processing the side surfaces of the profiles, and a control system. The frame is provided with a first sliding rail and a second sliding rail at intervals, and the second sliding rail is located next to the first sliding rail. The clamping device is slidably mounted on the first sliding track; The first gantry is mounted on the frame in a sliding manner, and the sliding direction of the first gantry is the same as the sliding direction of the first sliding track; The first profile processing equipment is mounted on the first gantry frame and slides along with the first gantry frame; The second profile processing equipment is slidably mounted on the second sliding track, and the second profile processing equipment slides along the second sliding track; The bottom of the frame is equipped with a chip removal device for collecting waste chips generated during the profile processing. The first profile processing equipment, the second profile processing equipment, and the chip removal device are electrically connected to the control system.

[0011] This profile processing production line, through the cooperation of the first and second profile processing equipment, can simultaneously process the top and side surfaces of profiles (drilling, milling, etc.). This design avoids the limitation of processing individual surfaces one by one in traditional processing modes, realizing multi-surface collaborative processing and significantly improving processing efficiency.

[0012] The clamping device and processing equipment are both set on the sliding track, and the movement direction of each device is independently controllable, which enables the processing production line to adapt to profiles of different sizes and shapes without the need for frequent changes of fixtures or manual adjustment of equipment parameters, thereby expanding the applicability of the production line.

[0013] By controlling the processing equipment, clamping devices, and chip removal devices in a unified manner, the entire processing process is highly automated, reducing manual intervention, lowering labor intensity, and improving production efficiency.

[0014] The chip removal device at the bottom of the frame can efficiently collect the waste chips generated during processing, keep the processing environment clean, reduce the wear and tear on the equipment caused by waste chips, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce the amount of manual cleaning.

[0015] The production line features a compact design with rationally distributed and coordinated units. The first and second sliding tracks are arranged side by side, and the sliding direction of the first gantry is consistent with the track direction. The strong interoperability between the equipment further improves the overall processing efficiency.

[0016] The production line can flexibly adjust processing parameters through a control system to adapt to diverse processing needs. This makes the equipment particularly suitable for the current high standards of efficiency and precision required by the aluminum profile processing industry for curtain walls.

[0017] The objective of this invention can also be achieved by the following technical measures: Furthermore, a second sliding track is provided on each side of the first sliding track.

[0018] Second sliding tracks are set on both sides of the first sliding track, and a second profile processing device is installed on each second sliding track, so that the top surface and two sides of the profile can be processed simultaneously. Compared with the design that can only process two sides, this three-sided synchronous processing method further improves processing efficiency and significantly shortens processing time.

[0019] The three processing machines work together on the same production line, which reduces the errors that may be caused by multiple clamping and positioning in the traditional mode and ensures processing accuracy.

[0020] This design can easily handle complex profiles with multi-faceted processing requirements, and is especially suitable for the production requirements of high-precision and high-efficiency curtain wall aluminum profiles in the construction industry, further expanding the application range of the equipment.

[0021] Multiple processing machines operate simultaneously, ensuring that each processing step is fully utilized in the production line, reducing equipment downtime, achieving efficient resource allocation, and significantly improving the production line's output capacity.

[0022] Through the coordinated management of the control system, the first profile processing equipment and the second profile processing equipment on both sides can maintain synchronous operation, which not only ensures the ease of operation, but also reduces the need for manual adjustment and enhances the intelligence level of the equipment.

[0023] Since three-sided processing can be completed in one go, it reduces the time spent on transfers and equipment adjustments between multiple processes in traditional processing. This not only improves overall efficiency but also significantly reduces labor and time costs, thus shortening the return on investment cycle for the equipment.

[0024] This further design optimizes the production line's multi-faceted processing capabilities, fully embodying the characteristics of high efficiency, high precision, and high applicability, providing a better solution for the curtain wall aluminum profile processing industry.

[0025] Furthermore, the first gantry includes a crossbeam and supporting legs, with the supporting legs respectively disposed on both sides of the crossbeam. The frame is located next to the second sliding track and is provided with a third sliding track. The supporting legs are slidably disposed on the third sliding track, so that the first gantry slides along the third sliding track.

[0026] The design of the first gantry frame incorporates a crossbeam and support legs, which are slidably connected to a third sliding rail, making the movement of the first gantry frame smoother and more reliable. This design effectively enhances the overall rigidity of the first gantry frame, ensuring stability and machining accuracy during the processing.

[0027] By setting a third sliding rail next to the frame, the support legs slide along the third sliding rail, and the movement range of the first gantry is further expanded, which can cover a larger processing area and adapt to the processing needs of profiles of different lengths and sizes.

[0028] The introduction of the third sliding track makes the sliding direction of the first gantry frame match the sliding direction of the first and second sliding tracks, forming a complete multi-equipment collaborative processing layout, which improves the overall linkage and operation efficiency of the production line.

[0029] The first gantry support leg slides on the third sliding track, which optimizes the space utilization of the frame and ensures that the sliding path of the first gantry does not interfere with the working area of ​​other processing equipment, further improving the design rationality and processing efficiency of the production line.

[0030] The sliding connection between the support legs and the third sliding rail allows the first gantry frame to be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the processing tasks of different types of profiles. This flexibility not only reduces equipment adjustment time but also improves the production line's adaptability to diverse processing needs.

[0031] The first gantry slides stably on the third sliding track, reducing processing errors that may be caused by vibration or displacement deviation, ensuring that the profile top surface processing equipment is always in the best processing condition, and further improving the overall processing accuracy.

[0032] This improved design enhances the structure and function of the first gantry, significantly improving the efficiency, flexibility, and applicability of the profile processing production line, and providing strong support for achieving efficient and high-precision multi-faceted profile processing.

[0033] Furthermore, the crossbeam is provided with a fourth sliding track along its length, and the first profile processing equipment is slidably mounted on the fourth sliding track.

[0034] A fourth sliding track is provided along the length of the crossbeam, allowing the first profile processing equipment to slide along the fourth sliding track. This design gives the first profile processing equipment greater flexibility, enabling it to precisely adjust the processing position and adapt to the needs of profiles of different sizes and shapes.

[0035] The sliding capability of the first profile processing equipment on the fourth sliding track enables it to cover the entire length of the crossbeam, thereby significantly expanding the effective range of the equipment for processing the top surface of the profile and improving the applicability of the production line to large-sized profiles.

[0036] By adjusting the processing position through sliding, the first profile processing equipment can perform multi-point processing on the top surface of the profile without frequently moving the first gantry or the profile itself. This capability greatly improves processing efficiency and reduces the complexity of equipment operation.

[0037] Under the unified management of the control system, the first profile processing equipment can achieve automated positioning and dynamic processing through the sliding of the fourth sliding track, without the need for manual adjustment, which further improves the intelligence level and ease of operation of the production line.

[0038] The fourth sliding track on the crossbeam makes reasonable use of the structural space of the first gantry, making the equipment layout more compact. At the same time, it avoids the equipment occupying additional sliding track resources when processing at multiple points, thus improving the overall space utilization efficiency of the equipment.

[0039] Furthermore, it also includes a third profile processing device for cutting profiles, the third profile processing device being slidably mounted on a fourth sliding track, and the third profile processing device being electrically connected to the control system.

[0040] The second and third profile processing equipment are simultaneously installed on the fourth sliding track, enabling the production line to not only perform profile drilling and milling, but also cutting tasks, which greatly enhances the functional integration of the production line and meets the needs of complex profile processing.

[0041] The second and third profile processing machines share the fourth sliding track, and are designed to allow only one machine to operate independently, effectively avoiding mutual interference between the machines. This resource-sharing design saves equipment space and improves the overall utilization efficiency of the production line.

[0042] By independently managing the second and third profile processing equipment through the control system, dynamic switching and precise control of the equipment are achieved, avoiding misoperation caused by simultaneous startup and improving the operational safety and reliability of the production line.

[0043] The addition of the third profile processing equipment allows the profile cutting task to be completed continuously on the same production line as the top and side processing tasks, reducing the need for transfer between multiple processes and thus significantly shortening the processing cycle.

[0044] By designing the two devices on the same sliding track, the need for additional tracks is eliminated, optimizing the equipment layout and improving space utilization. This compact design allows the production line to maintain a simple overall structure while expanding its functionality.

[0045] The second and third profile processing equipment can flexibly switch operating modes according to processing needs, adapting to rapid changes in different processing tasks. This design supports diversified production modes and further enhances the production line's responsiveness to market demands.

[0046] The shared fourth sliding track design reduces redundant configuration of equipment components, lowering manufacturing and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the shared track design makes production line maintenance easier and reduces downtime due to equipment failure.

[0047] Furthermore, the first profile processing equipment is a drilling and milling device, which includes a first body, a second body, and a drilling and milling head for drilling and milling the profile. The first body is slidably mounted on the fourth sliding rail of the crossbeam, and the first body is provided with a fifth sliding rail along its height direction. The second body is slidably mounted on the fifth sliding rail, and the drilling and milling head is rotatably mounted on the second body. The drilling and milling head can rotate around the connection between the drilling and milling head and the second machine body as the rotation center. The drilling and milling head can slide along the fifth sliding track direction, the drilling and milling head can slide along the fourth sliding track direction, and the drilling and milling head can slide along the third sliding track direction, forming a four-axis drilling and milling device.

[0048] The drilling and milling device is designed with a four-axis structure (fourth sliding rail, fifth sliding rail, drilling and milling head rotation axis, and third sliding rail), which allows the drilling and milling head to move and rotate flexibly in multiple directions. It can perform drilling and milling operations on profiles at multiple angles and positions, greatly improving the processing flexibility of the equipment and its adaptability to complex profiles.

[0049] The design of the four-axis drilling and milling device enables the drilling and milling head to be precisely positioned and to perform high-precision machining on the top surface and complex angles of the profile, effectively meeting the requirements of modern curtain wall profiles for complex structures and fine processing, and improving the quality of finished products.

[0050] The first and second machine bodies slide via the fourth and fifth sliding tracks, respectively, forming a vertically staggered sliding structure. This design enables multi-axis machining capabilities within a limited space, optimizes equipment layout, and improves the space utilization of the production line.

[0051] The four-axis drilling and milling unit can quickly complete machining tasks at different angles and positions without moving the profile, greatly reducing the time for profile transfer or clamping adjustment, thereby significantly improving machining efficiency.

[0052] The rotary center and multiple sliding tracks of the milling head allow for easy adjustment of machining angles and positions to meet various machining needs. Under the unified scheduling of the control system, an automated, multi-task switching, and highly efficient production mode can be achieved, adapting to the needs of multi-variety, small-batch production.

[0053] Multi-axis drilling and milling units can complete multiple machining processes such as drilling and milling in a single setup through flexible movement and rotation, reducing the number of tool changes, further reducing machining costs and increasing production cycle time.

[0054] Furthermore, the third profile processing equipment is a cutting device, which includes a first base, a second base, a third base, and a cutting head for cutting the profile. The first base is slidably mounted on a fourth sliding rail of the crossbeam, and the first base is provided with a sixth sliding rail along its height direction. The second base is slidably mounted on the sixth sliding rail, the third base is rotatably mounted on the second base, and the cutting head is rotatably mounted on the third base. The cutting head can rotate around the connection between the cutting head and the third base as the rotation center, the cutting head can rotate around the connection between the second body and the third base as the rotation center, the cutting head can slide along the sixth sliding track, the cutting head can slide along the fourth sliding track, and the cutting head can slide along the third sliding track, forming a five-axis cutting device.

[0055] The cutting device is designed with a five-axis structure (fourth sliding track, sixth sliding track, two rotation centers, and third sliding track), which gives the cutting head a higher degree of freedom and can perform cutting operations from multiple angles and directions, making it particularly suitable for the fine cutting of profiles with complex geometries.

[0056] The five-axis cutting device can perform high-precision cutting of profiles with complex curved surfaces, inclined edges and special structures, providing a more flexible solution for the processing of non-standard profiles in the construction field such as curtain walls, and greatly improving the applicability of the equipment.

[0057] The cutting head, through the cooperation of multiple rotation centers and multiple sliding tracks, can precisely adjust its position and angle to ensure high precision of the cutting path, thereby reducing cutting errors and improving the consistency and quality of the finished product.

[0058] The five-axis cutting device works in conjunction with other processing equipment in the production line (such as drilling and milling devices) to complete multiple processes such as cutting, drilling and milling of profiles in a single clamping, avoiding repeated transfer of profiles, greatly shortening the processing cycle and improving production efficiency.

[0059] Under the unified management of the control system, the cutting device can flexibly adjust the cutting angle and trajectory according to the processing task, and can be linked with other equipment to achieve fully automated processing, significantly reducing manual intervention and improving the intelligence level of the production line.

[0060] The cutting device achieves multi-directional cutting capabilities within a limited space through a multi-axis linkage design, without the need for additional equipment or tracks, thus occupying little space and having a more compact and reasonable layout.

[0061] The multi-axis linkage function of the cutting head allows for multi-angle and complex path cutting operations to be completed in a single cut, thereby reducing the time for equipment switching or profile repositioning, improving overall cutting efficiency, and reducing production and maintenance costs.

[0062] Furthermore, the second profile processing equipment is a milling head device, which includes a first body, a second body, and a milling head for milling the profile. The first body is slidably mounted on a second sliding rail. The first body is provided with a seventh sliding rail along its height direction. The second body is slidably mounted on the seventh sliding rail. The second body is provided with an eighth sliding rail along its length direction. The milling head is slidably mounted on the eighth sliding rail. The milling head can slide along the eighth sliding track, the milling head can slide along the seventh sliding track, and the milling head can slide along the second sliding track, forming a three-axis milling head device.

[0063] The milling head device is designed with a three-axis structure (second sliding rail, seventh sliding rail, and eighth sliding rail), which allows the milling head to slide flexibly in different directions, thereby achieving high-precision milling operations on complex profile side contours and significantly improving processing adaptability.

[0064] The multi-axis design of the milling head device can precisely mill different sides or different heights of the profile, meeting the processing needs of complex curtain wall profiles, while improving processing consistency and finished product quality.

[0065] The three-axis linkage function of the milling head device can quickly complete multiple side processing tasks after a single positioning, without the need to repeatedly adjust the profile position, shortening the processing time and thus improving production efficiency.

[0066] The modular design of the three-axis milling head unit enables it to complete complex machining functions within a limited equipment space, coordinates and unifies with the overall layout of the production line, and occupies little space but has powerful functions.

[0067] The milling head unit is linked with the control system, enabling highly flexible machining path planning and parameter adjustment through automated control. This significantly reduces manual intervention, lowers the difficulty of operation, and improves the intelligence level of the production line.

[0068] The three-axis milling head unit can easily handle the side processing tasks of various complex-shaped profiles through the linkage of different track directions, while being compatible with profiles of different specifications and sizes to meet personalized production needs.

[0069] The milling head device reduces the time required for profile transfer and repositioning, thus improving production efficiency; its modular design and automated operation reduce labor costs and production line transformation costs.

[0070] Furthermore, the clamping device includes a base, a left clamping arm, a right clamping arm, a motor, a lead screw, and a belt. The base is slidably seated on a first sliding track and slides along the first sliding track to allow the base to slide along its length. The base is provided with a ninth sliding track along its width direction, and the left clamping arm and the right clamping arm are slidably disposed on the ninth sliding track; The lead screw is rotatably mounted on the base. The front section of the lead screw is a forward thread forming a forward thread section, and the rear section of the lead screw is a reverse thread forming a reverse thread section. The central section of the lead screw between the forward thread section and the reverse thread section is a transition section without threads. The tail end of the lead screw is provided with a first synchronous pulley. The positive thread section of the lead screw is fitted with a positive tooth ball screw nut, and the positive tooth ball screw nut is connected to the left clamping arm; The reverse thread section of the lead screw is fitted with a reverse-tooth ball screw nut, and the reverse-tooth ball screw nut is connected to the right clamping arm; The motor is mounted on the base, and the output shaft of the motor is equipped with a second synchronous pulley. The belt is fitted onto the first and second synchronous pulleys. The motor is electrically connected to the control system. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate through the first synchronous pulley, the belt, and the second synchronous pulley, thereby causing the left and right clamping arms to move closer to or further away from the transition section of the lead screw, thus realizing the clamping or loosening action of the left and right clamping arms.

[0071] Through the cooperation of the positive and negative thread sections of the lead screw design and the ball screw nut, the left and right clamping arms can move synchronously under the drive of the motor, thereby ensuring high precision and stability in the clamping or loosening process of the profile and avoiding offset or uneven force during the clamping process.

[0072] The transition section in the middle of the lead screw provides an adjustable range for the width of the left and right clamping arms, enabling quick adaptation to profiles of different sizes and shapes, achieving high compatibility of the clamping device and meeting diverse production needs.

[0073] The clamping device is linked to the motor and control system, which can realize the opening and closing of the clamping arm without manual adjustment, simplifying the operation process and greatly improving the automation level and operating efficiency of the production line.

[0074] The synchronous pulley and belt drive design enables the lead screw to rotate efficiently and smoothly, reducing the noise and wear problems of traditional gear drives, while making the entire drive structure more compact, easier to maintain and more reliable in operation.

[0075] The precision transmission between the ball screw nut and the screw provides a strong clamping force, and the clamping force can be flexibly controlled by adjusting the motor speed and torque through the control system, thus avoiding damage to the profile surface.

[0076] The clamping device is designed to slide on the first sliding track, which allows it to quickly adjust its position and the positioning point of the profile, thereby achieving efficient replacement and positioning of the profile and reducing changeover time.

[0077] The motor-driven design provides smooth power output, avoiding the instability that may be caused by manual operation, thereby improving the stability and repeatability of clamping operations and ensuring the accuracy and safety of the machining process.

[0078] The symmetrical design of the positive and negative thread sections of the lead screw, along with the cooperation of the ball screw nut, ensures that the left and right clamping arms always move synchronously when approaching or moving away from the transition section. This ensures that the profile is centered during clamping and effectively avoids misalignment of the profile caused by clamping arm offset.

[0079] With precise and symmetrical clamping of the clamping arms, the profile can be firmly fixed during processing without deviation or shaking, avoiding abnormal operation or processing quality problems caused by the profile position deviation during processing in the second profile processing equipment, thus improving the stability of equipment operation and processing accuracy.

[0080] The symmetrical design of the left and right clamping arms significantly reduces uneven force that may occur during clamping, ensuring the accurate fixing angle and position of the profile, providing a high-precision reference for subsequent multi-axis machining operations, and reducing machining errors.

[0081] The clamping device always maintains a centered clamping state, providing stable support for multi-station operation of the profile during processing and preventing the profile from affecting the operating efficiency and collaborative effect of other processing equipment due to clamping position deviation.

[0082] Furthermore, the width of the frame is less than 2.4 meters.

[0083] With a frame width of less than 2.4 meters, it makes full use of production space, is suitable for modern processing workshop layouts, and facilitates transportation.

[0084] Furthermore, it also includes a second gantry and a third profile processing device for cutting profiles, wherein the first gantry is mounted on the frame in a sliding manner, and the sliding direction of the first gantry is the same as the sliding direction of the first sliding track; The first gantry is provided with a tenth sliding rail, and the third profile processing equipment is slidably mounted on the tenth sliding rail. The third profile processing equipment is electrically connected to the control system.

[0085] The first and second gantry frames respectively support the first profile processing equipment and the third profile processing equipment. The third profile processing equipment is independently set up on the second gantry frame and runs without sharing the sliding track with the first gantry frame. This enables independent operation of multi-station equipment, reduces processing conflicts, and significantly improves the overall processing efficiency of the production line.

[0086] By adding a second gantry, the first and third profile processing equipment can operate on independent track systems, avoiding interference and resource competition between the equipment, maximizing the utilization of the equipment's working time, and improving the overall operating efficiency of the production line.

[0087] The first and second gantry frames can perform top surface processing and cutting operations at different locations, while simultaneously handling multiple tasks. This reduces the number of times profiles are transferred between processing stations, optimizes the production rhythm, and further shortens the overall processing time.

[0088] The third profile processing equipment runs on the second gantry, forming an independent working unit. This allows the equipment to be repaired separately during maintenance, reducing the impact on the operation of other equipment and simplifying the overall production line maintenance workflow.

[0089] With the second gantry, the production line can combine drilling, milling, cutting and other multi-functional processing by adjusting the equipment configuration, providing more solutions for complex profile processing and improving the overall value of the equipment.

[0090] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention integrates multiple processing functions such as drilling, milling, cutting, and milling, meeting the multi-dimensional simultaneous processing needs of the top surface, side surface, and complex angles of profiles, thereby improving processing efficiency and product quality.

[0091] This invention, through a multi-axis (four-axis drilling and milling device, five-axis cutting device, three-axis milling head device) linkage design, can achieve multi-angle and fine processing of profiles, adapting to complex processing requirements.

[0092] In this invention, the left and right clamping arms achieve stable clamping through lead screw transmission and synchronous motor drive, ensuring the fixing accuracy and operational stability of the profile during processing.

[0093] The present invention provides a bottom chip removal device that can automatically collect waste chips generated during processing, reducing the need for manual cleaning and improving the automation and cleanliness of the production line.

[0094] The present invention features a rack width of less than 2.4 meters, making it suitable for installation and operation in limited spaces and optimizing the equipment's footprint.

[0095] This invention, with its dual sliding track design (first sliding track and second sliding track), enables independent sliding of the clamping device and the processing equipment, avoiding equipment interference and improving equipment utilization.

[0096] In this invention, all processing equipment and chip removal devices are electrically connected to the control system, enabling precise control and real-time monitoring of the processing process, thus improving the intelligence level of the production line. Attached Figure Description

The control system monitors in real time and activates the conveyor belt or vacuum adsorption device to discharge the waste chips, ensuring a clean working area.

[0120] Finished product unloading Release clamping device 3: The left clamping arm 32 and the right clamping arm 33 of clamping device 3 move away from the center of the profile, and the clamping force is released.

[0121] Finished product transfer: The processed profiles are removed from the production line by manual or mechanical means and enter the subsequent cleaning, surface treatment or assembly processes.

[0122] Repeated processing steps: After the first profile section is processed, the first profile processing equipment 4 moves to the processing position (the position of the second profile section) to allow the drilling and milling device to process the top surface. The second profile processing equipment 5 slides along the second sliding track 12 to the designated processing position (the position of the second profile section) to allow the milling head to perform side milling operation. The third profile processing equipment 7 moves to the cutting position to cut. The clamping device 3 is released, and the second profile section is removed from the production line by manual or mechanical means. This process is repeated until the entire profile section is processed.

[0125] Flexible processing: The production line can adjust the working range of the processing equipment according to the specifications and complexity of the curtain wall profiles to adapt to different order requirements.

[0126] High degree of automation: The control system uniformly schedules the clamping, processing and chip removal processes, greatly reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.

[0127] Optimized footprint: The width of rack 1 is less than 2.4 meters, making full use of production space and suitable for the layout of modern processing workshops.
