RayBox: Helping You Realize Digital Connection Of Industry 4.0

We know that production efficiency is the key to metal processing and manufacturing, so how can we use digital technology to improve production efficiency? Many metal processing factories already have three or four groups of fiber laser cutting machines with different powers. Is there an easy way to collect all the metal laser cutting machine information and summarize it into one production order? Today, I will introduce you to the Raybox system of Magic Box! It can definitely solve your problem.

Laser Box Overview

Industrial Internet drives laser intelligent manufacturing. Laser Magic Box serves the laser industrial Internet platform-level intelligent hardware. Laser Magic Box realizes seamless connection between CypCut, CypNest, HypCut, TubePro and MES software, and provides automatic circulation and storage management of processing drawings. Laser Magic Box provides multi-dimensional statistical analysis of machine tools, provides external statistical output interface, and also provides smart factory big board function, which can provide real-time feedback of machine tool processing statistical information. Laser Magic Box is connected with the automatic loading and unloading system, which can centrally control multiple laser machine tools, uniformly manage processing tasks, and realize automatic processing of multiple machine tools.

1.Automatic circulation of processing drawing files

Storage basis: "1T automatic storage space for processing files" means that the system provides 1TB capacity to automatically store processing-related files (drawings, process documents, etc.), solving the problem of scattered file storage and easy loss. It is the data "warehouse" of the process.

Software collaboration: "CypCut, CypNest, HypCut, TubePro seamlessly connected", these are professional software in the fields of laser cutting, tube processing, etc. (such as typesetting and nesting, cutting control). After docking, files can be smoothly transferred between different software without manual repeated import and export, which improves the efficiency of collaboration between software and reduces human operation errors.

Quick call: "Scan QR code to adjust drawing and process directly". Associate QR code with drawing, scan with barcode scanner during production, the system will automatically call corresponding drawing and process, and directly enter the processing link. Skip manual search and setting steps, shorten production preparation time, and adapt to the fast production rhythm of the workshop.

2.Seamless integration of MES system

System interconnection basis: Through technical means, production equipment (such as laser machine tools) and MES systems can establish a stable connection without data faults, break information silos, and realize the circulation of production data.

Closed loop of instruction reception: The production end uniformly obtains processing tasks (what to do and how to do it) and drawings (production basis) from MES, replacing manual transmission, reducing errors, and ensuring the accuracy of production instructions.

Progress feedback value: During the production process, the processing progress (such as completed processes, remaining workload, etc.) is fed back to MES in real time, making it easier for the company's management and scheduling to grasp the production rhythm and adjust the plan in a timely manner.

Advantages of multi-machine collaboration: For multiple laser machine tool scenarios, MES can coordinate and dispatch them to complete complex production tasks (such as division of labor and collaboration, synchronous processing), thereby improving overall production efficiency and capacity utilization.

3.Machine operation statistics

Data processing mode: Edge computing of machine tool data, real-time analysis and processing of operating data near the machine tool (edge ​​side), without waiting for the data to be transmitted to the remote server, reducing transmission delays and quickly mining data value (such as instant judgment of equipment abnormalities).

Data dimension value: "Provide multi-dimensional data such as machine tool operation statistics and processing statistics", covering data such as machine tool startup time, operation efficiency, number/precision of processed parts, etc. Enterprises can analyze production capacity and equipment health from the perspective of equipment operation and production results, and assist in optimizing production plans and maintenance strategies.

Visualization and control: The "smart factory dashboard" provides real-time feedback on the production status of machine tools, converting statistical data into visual charts (such as equipment load rate and processing progress) and displaying them on the factory screen. Management and workshop personnel can intuitively grasp the overall situation, quickly respond to production anomalies, and promote digital and transparent management of the factory.

4.Laser cutting centralized control system functions

Loading and unloading coordination: "Connect loading and unloading equipment and notify the equipment to perform loading and unloading actions" to enable the laser cutting machine to work in conjunction with loading and unloading machinery (such as robotic arms and conveyor belts). Automatic feeding before processing and automatic unloading after processing can reduce manual operations and improve production continuity.

Machine tool scheduling: "Connect multiple laser machine tools, manage and schedule machine tools to go online and offline", intelligently arrange machine tools to participate in production or pause according to production tasks and equipment status (such as failure, idle), optimize equipment resource utilization, and avoid uneven busy and idle times.

Task control: "Centrally control multiple laser machine tools, uniformly allocate and control processing tasks", break down production orders into tasks, allocate them to suitable machine tools as needed, and adjust processing parameters and processes in real time to ensure efficient collaboration of multiple machine tools, coordinating production like a "command center".

Progress feedback: "Real-time feedback of processing progress" is provided to the external parties. The processing status (completed, in progress, abnormal) of each machine tool and each task is synchronized to the MES system, the factory screen, etc., so that the management and dispatching ends can grasp the production rhythm and respond to problems in a timely manner.

Create an unmanned laser processing factory

If you want to build an unmanned laser processing factory, you can use office layout, laser cutting machines, and loading and unloading equipment, from processing task flow to automatic loading and unloading, and use the laser magic box to achieve full-process autonomous and stable production.

Laser Magic Box seamlessly connects with CypCut, CypNest, HypCut, TubePro, MES and other software to provide automatic circulation and storage management of processing drawings. Laser Magic Box provides multi-dimensional statistical analysis of machine tools, provides external statistical output interface, and provides smart factory large screen function to provide real-time feedback of machine tool processing statistics. Laser Magic Box is connected to the automatic loading and unloading system, which can centrally control multiple laser cutting machine tools, uniformly manage processing tasks, and realize automated processing of multiple machine tools.

Step 1. Raybox obtains production requirements through MES, and technicians can nest parts in the office.
Step 2. After nesting, we can choose No. 1 or No. 2 fiber laser cutting machine to cut the parts. This will be done in the Raybox system.
Step 3. The designated fiber laser cutting machine will load the appropriate metal sheet through the metal storage tower according to the demand, and feed the metal sheet into the fiber laser cutting machine for cutting. (You can also print a QR code on the part during the cutting process)
Step 4. After cutting, the finished product information will be fed back to Raybox and shared with the MES system, and then reported to the ERP system.
We can manage the entire production process in the office, which is convenient for each department to grasp the production information in a timely manner and improve the operation efficiency of the manufacturer.

Central control of unmanned factories

As the central control of the unmanned factory, the Magic Box connects the office layout software, laser cutting machine and loading and unloading robots. The office CypNest nesting software directly pushes the drawings to the Magic Box for task scheduling. When the automation process is turned on, the Magic Box requests the robot to load the materials. After the loading is completed, the drawings and processing instructions are sent to the corresponding machine tools respectively. After the processing is completed, the robot is called again to unload the materials, and the cycle continues. The three machine tools process and load and unload materials in an orderly manner, and there is no additional human participation in the entire processing process.

By introducing the laser Magic Box as the main control, the entire laser processing factory can achieve 24-hour unmanned automatic production, and the factory efficiency is greatly improved.

Integrate laser cutting machines into digital production lines

Laser cutting machine + laser magic box + MES system can achieve seamless connection. The MES system sends processing tasks downward, and the magic box feeds back the processing progress to MES, helping the MES system to control and schedule the entire production process and reasonably allocate processing tasks.

1.Factory Case

A large bathroom manufacturing company uses MES for management from order to production to warehousing.

After the Magic Box is installed, the Magic Box acts as a transfer to connect MES and laser cutting machines.

Laser processing is the first step in the manufacturing of sheet metal, metal bathrooms, etc. Its production speed affects the rhythm of the entire production line. The MES system pushes processing tasks to the laser cutting machine through the Magic Box, and also obtains the progress and processing time of processing tasks/parts. Through these data, the production rhythm is optimized and production costs are reduced, which not only improves the utilization rate of the production line, but also realizes lean management of the production line.

The inkjet system can also obtain the identification information of the parts through the processing tasks transmitted by the Magic Box, and correspond the labels to the parts one by one, so that the parts can obtain a unique barcode information and enter the next process flow more conveniently...

After the introduction of the Laser Magic Box, the problem of connecting the MES system with the laser cutting machine was solved. The MES system can monitor the operating status of the laser cutting machine in real time, resolving the embarrassing situation of the laser cutting machine as an "information island" in the smart factory.

Resumir

Laser Magic Box is suitable for factories that have laser cutting machines and want to achieve digitalization, automation, and intelligent needs such as automated processing, real-time monitoring, task management, and docking with MES. The laser cutting machine combined with the Laser Magic Box can truly meet the new requirements for laser cutting in the era of the Industrial Internet, and is the first step for your factory to embark on the road to intelligent manufacturing!
