The Study for Design Process of Automation System－Example for Dental Floss Toothpick Package

[[abstract]]近年來，隨著科技的快速發展，現今速度已成為贏得訂單之關鍵因素，因此要如何提升生產速度為業者所重視的問題。本研究以牙線棒製造業之包裝流程為研究對象，目前之包裝方式為人工半自動包裝，礙於有人為因素，在包裝的過程，時常會發生人工速度無法完全配合輸入圓盤的轉速，而使牙線棒無法如預期進入設定位置，因此必須停機排除卡機或處理空包之情形，導致目前包裝速度無法達到預期的效率。基於上述動機，本研究將著眼在現有牙線棒包裝製程中，如何將其製程自現有射出後的初始狀態，配合既成的包裝設備，自動產生無人化的自動包裝過程。 本研究的目的將分為兩大部分，第一部份為找出合適的產品研發之設計步驟，並輔以現今電腦繪圖軟體所具備的模擬動化，設計一自動化輸送系統，使牙線棒自射出成型機產出後，可自動輸送至包裝機包裝，達到無人化的自動包裝之目標。第二部分為完成的設計自動化輸送系統，其成本效益是值得投資。[[abstract]]Recently, with the developing technology, the production rate is the important element to acquire the order. How to promote the speed on the production is only the automation. The main point in the research is the package procedure of the dental floss toothpick manufacturing to be an object of study. From now, the package procedure is the semi-automatic artificial packaging. Due to the artificial packaging factor, it frequently happens the factitious speed do not match up the rotational speed at disk. According to the reason, the dental floss toothpick can not enter the setting position expectably, so the solving way is to shut down to handle with the situation. Owing to shut down, it cause the packaging rate do not achieve the expected efficiently. Based on the following reason, the research topic focus on the dental floss toothpick manufacturing procedure, how to present the origin state from the manufacturing procedure, collocating the facility by the auto-packaging. The study is classified the two parts. The first part is to find the reasonable product R&D process and combine the simulation and analysis software to design an automation delivery system. After making the dental floss toothpick shoots from the Injection Molding Machine, it could transport by automation to a packer that achieve the goal by auto-packaging. The second part means it is worth to invest the automation delivery system
