Driven by the booming growth of the LED terminal lighting application market, lighting companies have entered a period of high demand for automated production lines. This has undoubtedly created a favorable situation for LED lighting automation equipment companies.
Driven by the booming growth of the LED terminal lighting application market, lighting companies have entered a period of high demand for automated production lines. This has undoubtedly created a favorable situation for LED lighting automation equipment companies.
Data from the GGII (Gaogong Industry Research Institute) shows that in 2017, the proportion of automated production in China's LED lighting industry is expected to exceed 30%, and the equipment market size will reach about 600 million yuan.
Recently, the Gaogong Golden Globe Awards ceremony was successfully concluded at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. ZWL-A1200 distributed LED lighting intelligent production line from ZW Optoelectronics won the Golden Globe Award, while the fully automatic production line for LED bulb lights from XuanShuo Optoelectronics and the HT-XF second-generation electronic feeder high-speed SMT machine from ETON Automation received nominations.
Regarding the award-winning products, Zhang Jiu Liu, general manager of ZW Optoelectronics, introduced that the ZWL-A1200 can achieve fully automated assembly of LED lights. The production line can be reasonably arranged according to different LED bulb structures and assembly methods of customers, making the overall line layout reasonable and allowing different types of bulb lights to be produced on the same line.
“The production line has a monthly output of >600,000 units (calculated at 22 hours of work per day), requiring only 7-8 workers to ensure the stability and consistency of product quality; in addition, the unique flexible line design allows for non-stop production during downtime,” said Zhang Jiu Liu.
It is understood that in the traditional LED lighting assembly process, there are nearly 20 processes, including assembling various kits, welding power components, and packaging finished products, that need to be done manually, which is time-consuming and seriously restricts the improvement of LED lighting production capacity.
Cost control is a key word in manufacturing. With the increasingly fierce competition in the LED lighting market, introducing automated LED lighting production lines is a crucial way for companies to win, as it not only solves product quality issues but also further reduces production costs and enhances product competitiveness.
“Over the past five years, China's labor costs have increased by an average of 10% annually. To address this manufacturing challenge, we must implement machine replacement,” Zhao Yutao, chairman of XuanShuo Optoelectronics, believes that the introduction of automated production lines has become a market demand.
Currently, judging from the equipment launched by XuanShuo Optoelectronics, the company has also introduced a high-precision and highly flexible robot structure, ensuring positioning accuracy and compatibility. The system part adopts a distributed sensing structure, and all parameters in the on-site process can be collected and comprehensively processed by the system.
“In the future, using big data support to provide automation and intelligence for the entire production process is the long-term goal of XuanShuo Optoelectronics,” Zhao Yutao pointed out.
It is foreseeable that achieving lean production, reducing costs, increasing market competitiveness, and standardizing industry quality through automation, scale, and standardization will point the way for the future development of the LED lighting industry.
Currently, the midstream packaging in China's LED industry has basically achieved automated production, and the automation and intelligence level of downstream application fields will also increase with more companies' investment, ultimately achieving the transformation from "Made in China" to "Created in China".
