AI Technical Summary
In the wheel and axle workshop of a railway vehicle factory or depot, wheelsets spend a long time being loaded and unloaded at the flaw detector station, resulting in high labor intensity for workers and low production efficiency.
The system employs a gantry robot and a conveyor system. The conveyor system transports the wheelsets between the placement position, the working position, and the picking position. Combined with a lifting device, the height of the wheelsets is adjusted. The gantry robot's large and small carriages move longitudinally and laterally within the factory building, achieving efficient transport and positioning of the wheelsets.
This significantly shortens the loading and unloading time of wheelsets at the flaw detector station, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and improves production efficiency.
