Chozungulira chomwe chimalumikizidwa ku mkono wa lever chimapangidwa pafupi ndi m'mimba mwake wakunja kwa gawo lozungulira. Zida zofunika kwambiri zomwe zimafunikira pa ntchito zambiri zozungulira ndi monga mandrel, chotsatira chomwe chimagwira chitsulo, ma rollers ndi manja a lever omwe amapanga gawolo, ndi chida chokongoletsera. Chithunzi: Toledo Metal Spinning Company.
Kusintha kwa zinthu za Toledo Metal Spinning Co. sikungakhale kwachilendo, koma sikuti ndi kwapadera m'sitolo yopanga ndi kupanga zitsulo. Sitolo yogulitsa zinthu ku Toledo, Ohio inayamba kupanga zinthu zapadera ndipo inadziwika popanga mitundu ina ya zinthu. Pamene kufunikira kunakula, inayambitsa zinthu zingapo zokhazikika kutengera momwe anthu ambiri amapangira zinthu.
Kuphatikiza ntchito yokonza zinthu kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito moyenera komanso yokonza zinthu kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito moyenera kumathandiza kuti zinthu zambiri m'sitolo ziyende bwino. Kubwerezabwereza ntchito kumatsegulanso mwayi wopeza ma robotic ndi mitundu ina ya automation. Ndalama ndi phindu zinakwera, ndipo dziko linkaoneka kuti likuyenda bwino.
Koma kodi bizinesiyo ikukula mwachangu momwe zingathere? Atsogoleri a sitolo yokhala ndi antchito 45 ankadziwa kuti bungweli lili ndi kuthekera kwakukulu, makamaka ataona momwe mainjiniya ogulitsa amagwiritsira ntchito nthawi yawo. Ngakhale kuti TMS imapereka mitundu ingapo yazinthu, zinthu zambiri sizingangotengedwa kuchokera kuzinthu zomalizidwa ndikutumizidwa. Zimakonzedwa kuti zikonzedwe. Izi zikutanthauza kuti mainjiniya ogulitsa amathera nthawi yambiri akukonzekera mapepala a maoda a hopper, kutchula ma ferrules apa ndi zowonjezera zina kapena ma polishes apa.
TMS ili ndi vuto la uinjiniya, ndipo kuti tichotse vutoli, chaka chino kampaniyo idayambitsa njira yosinthira zinthu. Mapulogalamu apadera omwe adapangidwa pamwamba pa SolidWorks amalola makasitomala kukonza zinthu zawo ndikulandira mitengo pa intaneti. Makina oyendetsera ntchito awa ayenera kukhala osavuta kukonza maoda ndipo, chofunika kwambiri, kulola mainjiniya ogulitsa kuti agwire ntchito zambiri zapadera kwaulere. Mwachidule, chidachi chiyenera kuthandiza kukonza mitengo ndi magwiridwe antchito a uinjiniya, zomwe ndi zabwino. Kupatula apo, uinjiniya ndi mitengo sizigwira ntchito bwino, zimakhala zovuta kuti sitolo ikule.
Mbiri ya TMS inayamba m'zaka za m'ma 1920 ndipo mlendo wina wa ku Germany dzina lake Rudolph Bruehner anali mwini wa kampaniyo kuyambira 1929 mpaka 1964, ndipo anali ndi kampaniyi kuyambira 1929 mpaka 1964, ndipo anali ndi akatswiri okonza zitsulo omwe anali ndi zaka zambiri akugwira ntchito ndi ma lathes ndi levers, zomwe zinapangitsa kuti ntchito yopota ikhale yabwino. Lathe imazungulira malo opanda kanthu, ndipo chozungulira zitsulo chimagwiritsa ntchito chowongolera kuti chikankhire ma rollers pa workpiece, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti chikhale chopingasa ndi mandrel.
Pomaliza pake TMS inakula n’kukhala yojambula mozama, ndikupanga zigawo zosindikizidwa komanso mawonekedwe oyambira ozungulira. Chotambasulira chimagunda mawonekedwe oyambira ndikuchiyika pa lathe yozungulira. Kuyambira ndi mawonekedwe oyambira m’malo mwa malo opanda kanthu athyathyathya kumalola kuti zinthuzo zizunguliridwe mozama kwambiri komanso m’mamita ang’onoang’ono.
Masiku ano, TMS ikadali bizinesi ya banja, koma si bizinesi ya banja la Bruehner. Kampaniyo inasinthana manja mu 1964, pamene Bruehner anaigulitsa kwa Ken ndi Bill Fankauser, omwe sanali ogwira ntchito zachitsulo kwa moyo wawo wonse ochokera kudziko lakale, koma mainjiniya komanso akauntanti. Mwana wa Ken, Eric Fankhauser, yemwe tsopano ndi wachiwiri kwa purezidenti wa TMS, akufotokoza nkhaniyi.
"Monga akauntanti wachinyamata, abambo anga adalandira akaunti ya [TMS] kuchokera kwa mnzanga yemwe ankagwira ntchito ku kampani yowerengera ndalama ya Ernst ndi Ernst. Abambo anga ankafufuza mafakitale ndi makampani ndipo adachita bwino kwambiri, Rudy adapereka. Anatumiza cheke ya $100. Izi zinapangitsa abambo anga kukhala ndi ngongole. Ngati angapereke cheke imeneyo, ikanakhala mkangano wa chidwi. Choncho anapita kwa anzawo a Ernst ndi Ernst ndikuwafunsa choti achite, ndipo anamuuza kuti ayike cheke yovomerezedwa kwa mnzake. Anachitadi zimenezo ndipo chekeyo itachotsedwa, Rudy anakhumudwa kwambiri kuona kuti akuvomerezedwa ku kampaniyo. Anayimbira abambo anga ku ofesi yake ndipo anawauza kuti akhumudwa. Sanasunge ndalamazo. Abambo anga anawafotokozera kuti mkangano wa chidwi.
"Rudy anaganizira za izi ndipo pomaliza anati, 'Ndiwe munthu amene ndimafuna nditakhala mwini kampani iyi. Kodi ukufuna kugula kampaniyi?'"
Ken Fankhauser anaganizira za nkhaniyi, kenako anaimbira foni mchimwene wake Bill, yemwe panthawiyo anali mainjiniya wa ndege ku Boeing ku Seattle. Monga momwe Eric akukumbukira, “Amalume anga Bill anakwera ndege n’kuyang’ana kampaniyo ndipo anaganiza zoigula. Zina zonse ndi mbiri yakale.”
Chaka chino, chosinthira zinthu pa intaneti kuti chikhazikitse zinthu kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito pa ma TMS angapo chathandiza kukonza magwiridwe antchito ndikuwonjezera luso la makasitomala.
Pamene Ken ndi Bill adagula TMS m'zaka za m'ma 1960, anali ndi shopu yodzaza ndi makina akale oyendetsedwa ndi lamba. Koma amabweranso panthawi yomwe kupota zitsulo (ndi makina opanga zinthu zambiri) kukusintha kuchoka pakugwiritsa ntchito pamanja kupita ku kulamulira kokonzedwa.
Mu zaka za m'ma 1960, awiriwa adagula lathe yozungulira yoyendetsedwa ndi stencil ya Leifeld, yofanana ndi makina akale opangidwa ndi stencil. Wogwiritsa ntchitoyo amagwiritsa ntchito joystick yomwe imayendetsa stylus pa template yooneka ngati gawo lozungulira. "Ichi ndi chiyambi cha automation ya TMS," adatero mchimwene wake wa Eric, Craig, yemwe tsopano ndi wachiwiri kwa purezidenti wa malonda a TMS.
Ukadaulo wa kampaniyo unapita patsogolo kudzera mu mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya ma lathe ozungulira oyendetsedwa ndi template, zomwe zinapangitsa kuti makina olamulidwa ndi makompyuta omwe mafakitale amagwiritsa ntchito masiku ano. Komabe, mbali zingapo za kupota zitsulo zimasiyanitsa izi ndi njira zina. Choyamba, ngakhale machitidwe amakono kwambiri sangayendetsedwe bwino ndi munthu amene sadziwa zoyambira za kupota.
"Simungangoyikapo kanthu ndikulola makinawo kuti azizungulira gawolo kutengera zojambulazo," adatero Eric, ndikuwonjezera kuti ogwiritsa ntchito ayenera kupanga mapulogalamu atsopano a magawo mwa kusintha joystick yomwe imasintha malo a roller popanga ntchito. Nthawi zambiri imachitidwa maulendo angapo, koma ikhoza kuchitika kamodzi kokha, monga pa ntchito yopangira shear, komwe zinthuzo zimatha kuchepetsedwa (kapena "kudulidwa") mpaka theka la makulidwe ake. Chitsulocho "chimakula" kapena kutalikitsidwa mozungulira.
"Mtundu uliwonse wa chitsulo ndi wosiyana, ndipo pali kusiyana ngakhale mkati mwa chitsulo chomwecho, kuphatikizapo kuuma ndi mphamvu yokoka," adatero Craig. "Si zokhazo, chitsulocho chimatentha chikazungulira, ndipo kutenthako kumasamutsidwira ku chidacho. Pamene chitsulocho chikutentha, chimakula. Zonsezi zikutanthauza kuti ogwiritsa ntchito aluso ayenera kuyang'anira ntchitoyo."
Wantchito wa TMS wakhala akutsatira ntchitoyi kwa zaka 67. “Dzina lake linali Al,” anatero Eric, “ndipo sanapume pantchito mpaka atakwanitsa zaka 86.” Al anayamba pamene lathe ya shopu inali kugwira ntchito kuchokera ku lamba womangiriridwa ku shaft yokwera pamwamba. Anapuma pantchito ku shopu yokhala ndi ma spinner aposachedwa kwambiri.
Masiku ano, fakitaleyi ili ndi antchito ena omwe akhala akugwira ntchito ndi kampaniyo kwa zaka zoposa 30, ena kwa zaka zoposa 20, ndipo omwe aphunzitsidwa ntchito yopota amagwira ntchito zonse pamanja komanso paokha. Ngati sitoloyo ikufunika kupanga zida zosavuta zopota kamodzi kokha, ndikofunikira kuti chopota chiyambe kugwiritsa ntchito lathe yamanja.
Komabe, kampaniyo ikugwiritsa ntchito makina odzipangira okha, monga momwe zasonyezedwera ndi kugwiritsa ntchito maloboti popera ndi kupukuta. "Tili ndi maloboti atatu omwe akugwira ntchito yopukuta," adatero Eric. "Awiri mwa iwo apangidwa kuti azipukuta pa mzere wowongoka ndi umodzi pa mzere wopingasa."
Sitoloyi imagwiritsa ntchito mainjiniya wa roboti amene amaphunzitsa loboti iliyonse kugaya mawonekedwe enaake pogwiritsa ntchito zida za chala (Dynabrade-type), komanso zida zina zosiyanasiyana zopukusira lamba. Kupanga loboti ndi nkhani yovuta, makamaka poganizira mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zinthu zomwe zikugwiritsidwa ntchito, kuchuluka kwa zinthu zomwe zikuyenda, komanso kupsinjika kosiyanasiyana komwe lobotiyo imagwiritsa ntchito.
Kampaniyo ikugwiritsabe ntchito anthu omwe amagwira ntchito yopukuta manja, makamaka ntchito zapadera. Imagwiritsanso ntchito odulira omwe amagwira ntchito yodulira mozungulira komanso yosokera, komanso odulira omwe amagwiritsa ntchito ma planer, njira yomwe sikuti imangowonjezera ubwino wa weld komanso imathandizira kuzungulira. Ma rollers a skin passer amalimbitsa ndikuchepetsa weld bead, zomwe zimathandiza kusunga kusinthasintha kwa ntchito pamene kusinthasintha kotsatira kukufunika.
TMS inali malo ochitira makina okhaokha mpaka mu 1988, pomwe kampaniyo idapanga mzere wamba wa ma hopper okhala ndi mawonekedwe ofanana. "Tinazindikira kuti, makamaka m'makampani opanga mapulasitiki, timalandira zopempha zosiyanasiyana za mitengo ya ma hopper yomwe ingakhale yosiyana pang'ono - mainchesi asanu ndi atatu apa, kotala mainchesi apo," adatero Eric. "Chifukwa chake tinayamba ndi hopper yokhala ndi mawonekedwe ofanana mainchesi 24 yokhala ndi ngodya ya madigiri 60, tinapanga njira yozungulira yotambasula [kujambula mozama preform, kenako kupota] kwa iyo, ndipo tinapanga mzere wazinthu kuchokera pamenepo." Tinali ndi ma hopper angapo khumi, timapanga pafupifupi 50 mpaka 100 nthawi imodzi. Izi zikutanthauza kuti tilibe zokonzera zokwera mtengo zoti tichepetse ndalama ndipo makasitomala salipira zida. Ili pashelefu yokha ndipo tikhoza kuyitumiza tsiku lotsatira. Kapena titha kuchita ntchito yowonjezera, monga kuyika ferrule kapena kolala, kapena galasi lowonera, zonse zomwe zimaphatikizapo kusintha kothandizira."
Mzere wina wa zinthu, wotchedwa Cleaning Line, uli ndi mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zinyalala zachitsulo chosapanga dzimbiri. Lingaliro la zinthuzi limachokera kulikonse, makampani otsuka magalimoto.
“Timapanga ma dome ambiri otsukira magalimoto,” anatero Eric, “ndipo tinkafuna kuchotsa dome imeneyo ndikuchita china chake nayo. Tili ndi patent yopangidwa pa CleanLine ndipo tagulitsa Zaka 20.” Pansi pa ziwiya izi pamakokedwa, thupi limakulungidwa ndi kuwotcherera, dome lapamwamba limakokedwa, kutsatiridwa ndi crimping, njira yozungulira yomwe imapanga m'mphepete wokulungidwa pa workpiece, yofanana ndi nthiti zolimbikitsidwa.
Zogulitsa za Hoppers ndi Clean Line zimapezeka m'magawo osiyanasiyana a "standard". Mkati mwake, kampaniyo imafotokoza "zogulitsa zokhazikika" ngati zomwe zingachotsedwe pashelefu ndikutumizidwa. Koma kachiwiri, kampaniyo ilinso ndi "zogulitsa zokhazikika," zomwe zimapangidwa pang'ono kuchokera ku stock kenako nkukonzedwa kuti zikonzedwe. Apa ndi pomwe okonza zinthu zochokera ku mapulogalamu amachita gawo lofunika kwambiri.
"Tikufunadi makasitomala athu kuti awone malondawo ndikuwona momwe amakonzera, ma flanges omangira ndi zomaliza zomwe akupempha," adatero Maggie Shaffer, manejala wa malonda yemwe akutsogolera pulogalamu ya configurator. "Tikufuna kuti makasitomala athe kumvetsetsa malondawo mwachibadwa."
Panthawi yolemba izi, chosinthira chimawonetsa kasinthidwe ka malonda ndi zosankha zomwe zasankhidwa ndipo chimapereka mtengo wa maola 24. (Monga opanga ambiri, TMS ikhoza kusunga mitengo yake kwa nthawi yayitali kale, koma tsopano singathe, chifukwa cha mitengo yosasinthasintha ya zinthu komanso kupezeka kwake.) Kampaniyo ikuyembekeza kuwonjezera mphamvu yokonza zolipira mtsogolo.
Pakadali pano, makasitomala amaimbira foni sitolo kuti akwaniritse maoda awo. Koma m'malo mokhala masiku kapena milungu ingapo akupanga, kukonza, ndikupeza zilolezo zojambula (nthawi zambiri kudikira nthawi yayitali mu inbox yodzaza), mainjiniya a TMS amatha kupanga zojambula ndi kudina pang'ono, kenako Tumizani zambiri ku msonkhano nthawi yomweyo.
Malinga ndi maganizo a kasitomala, kusintha kwa makina opota zitsulo kapena kupukuta ndi kupukuta kwa robotic kungakhale kosaoneka konse. Komabe, chosinthira chazinthu ndi kusintha komwe makasitomala angaone. Chimawongolera luso lawo logula ndikusunga masiku a TMS kapena milungu ingapo yokonza maoda. Si kuphatikiza koyipa.
Tim Heston, Mkonzi Wamkulu ku The FABRICATOR, wakhala akulemba nkhani zokhudza makampani opanga zitsulo kuyambira mu 1998, ndipo anayamba ntchito yake ndi American Welding Society's Welding Magazine. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, wakhala akulemba nkhani zokhudza njira zonse zopangira zitsulo kuyambira kuponda, kupindika ndi kudula mpaka kuperera ndi kupukuta.

Kusintha kwa zinthu za Toledo Metal Spinning Co. sikungakhale kwachilendo, koma sikuti ndi kwapadera m'sitolo yopanga ndi kupanga zitsulo. Sitolo yogulitsa zinthu ku Toledo, Ohio inayamba kupanga zinthu zapadera ndipo inadziwika popanga mitundu ina ya zinthu. Pamene kufunikira kunakula, inayambitsa zinthu zingapo zokhazikika kutengera momwe anthu ambiri amapangira zinthu.
Kuphatikiza ntchito yokonza zinthu kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito moyenera komanso yokonza zinthu kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito moyenera kumathandiza kuti zinthu zambiri m'sitolo ziyende bwino. Kubwerezabwereza ntchito kumatsegulanso mwayi wopeza ma robotic ndi mitundu ina ya automation. Ndalama ndi phindu zinakwera, ndipo dziko linkaoneka kuti likuyenda bwino.
Koma kodi bizinesiyo ikukula mwachangu momwe zingathere? Atsogoleri a sitolo yokhala ndi antchito 45 ankadziwa kuti bungweli lili ndi kuthekera kwakukulu, makamaka ataona momwe mainjiniya ogulitsa amagwiritsira ntchito nthawi yawo. Ngakhale kuti TMS imapereka mitundu ingapo yazinthu, zinthu zambiri sizingangotengedwa kuchokera kuzinthu zomalizidwa ndikutumizidwa. Zimakonzedwa kuti zikonzedwe. Izi zikutanthauza kuti mainjiniya ogulitsa amathera nthawi yambiri akukonzekera mapepala a maoda a hopper, kutchula ma ferrules apa ndi zowonjezera zina kapena ma polishes apa.
TMS ili ndi vuto la uinjiniya, ndipo kuti tichotse vutoli, chaka chino kampaniyo idayambitsa njira yosinthira zinthu. Mapulogalamu apadera omwe adapangidwa pamwamba pa SolidWorks amalola makasitomala kukonza zinthu zawo ndikulandira mitengo pa intaneti. Makina oyendetsera ntchito awa ayenera kukhala osavuta kukonza maoda ndipo, chofunika kwambiri, kulola mainjiniya ogulitsa kuti agwire ntchito zambiri zapadera kwaulere. Mwachidule, chidachi chiyenera kuthandiza kukonza mitengo ndi magwiridwe antchito a uinjiniya, zomwe ndi zabwino. Kupatula apo, uinjiniya ndi mitengo sizigwira ntchito bwino, zimakhala zovuta kuti sitolo ikule.
Mbiri ya TMS inayamba m'zaka za m'ma 1920 ndipo mlendo wina wa ku Germany dzina lake Rudolph Bruehner anali mwini wa kampaniyo kuyambira 1929 mpaka 1964, ndipo anali ndi kampaniyi kuyambira 1929 mpaka 1964, ndipo anali ndi akatswiri okonza zitsulo omwe anali ndi zaka zambiri akugwira ntchito ndi ma lathes ndi levers, zomwe zinapangitsa kuti ntchito yopota ikhale yabwino. Lathe imazungulira malo opanda kanthu, ndipo chozungulira zitsulo chimagwiritsa ntchito chowongolera kuti chikankhire ma rollers pa workpiece, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti chikhale chopingasa ndi mandrel.
Pomaliza pake TMS inakula n’kukhala yojambula mozama, ndikupanga zigawo zosindikizidwa komanso mawonekedwe oyambira ozungulira. Chotambasulira chimagunda mawonekedwe oyambira ndikuchiyika pa lathe yozungulira. Kuyambira ndi mawonekedwe oyambira m’malo mwa malo opanda kanthu athyathyathya kumalola kuti zinthuzo zizunguliridwe mozama kwambiri komanso m’mamita ang’onoang’ono.
Masiku ano, TMS ikadali bizinesi ya banja, koma si bizinesi ya banja la Bruehner. Kampaniyo inasinthana manja mu 1964, pamene Bruehner anaigulitsa kwa Ken ndi Bill Fankauser, omwe sanali ogwira ntchito zachitsulo kwa moyo wawo wonse ochokera kudziko lakale, koma mainjiniya komanso akauntanti. Mwana wa Ken, Eric Fankhauser, yemwe tsopano ndi wachiwiri kwa purezidenti wa TMS, akufotokoza nkhaniyi.
"Monga akauntanti wachinyamata, abambo anga adalandira akaunti ya [TMS] kuchokera kwa mnzanga yemwe ankagwira ntchito ku kampani yowerengera ndalama ya Ernst ndi Ernst. Abambo anga ankafufuza mafakitale ndi makampani ndipo adachita bwino kwambiri, Rudy adapereka. Anatumiza cheke ya $100. Izi zinapangitsa abambo anga kukhala ndi ngongole. Ngati angapereke cheke imeneyo, ikanakhala mkangano wa chidwi. Choncho anapita kwa anzawo a Ernst ndi Ernst ndikuwafunsa choti achite, ndipo anamuuza kuti ayike cheke yovomerezedwa kwa mnzake. Anachitadi zimenezo ndipo chekeyo itachotsedwa, Rudy anakhumudwa kwambiri kuona kuti akuvomerezedwa ku kampaniyo. Anayimbira abambo anga ku ofesi yake ndipo anawauza kuti akhumudwa. Sanasunge ndalamazo. Abambo anga anawafotokozera kuti mkangano wa chidwi.
"Rudy anaganizira za izi ndipo pomaliza anati, 'Ndiwe munthu amene ndimafuna nditakhala mwini kampani iyi. Kodi ukufuna kugula kampaniyi?'"
Ken Fankhauser anaganizira za nkhaniyi, kenako anaimbira foni mchimwene wake Bill, yemwe panthawiyo anali mainjiniya wa ndege ku Boeing ku Seattle. Monga momwe Eric akukumbukira, “Amalume anga Bill anakwera ndege n’kuyang’ana kampaniyo ndipo anaganiza zoigula. Zina zonse ndi mbiri yakale.”
Chaka chino, chosinthira zinthu pa intaneti kuti chikhazikitse zinthu kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito pa ma TMS angapo chathandiza kukonza magwiridwe antchito ndikuwonjezera luso la makasitomala.
Pamene Ken ndi Bill adagula TMS m'zaka za m'ma 1960, anali ndi shopu yodzaza ndi makina akale oyendetsedwa ndi lamba. Koma amabweranso panthawi yomwe kupota zitsulo (ndi makina opanga zinthu zambiri) kukusintha kuchoka pakugwiritsa ntchito pamanja kupita ku kulamulira kokonzedwa.
Mu zaka za m'ma 1960, awiriwa adagula lathe yozungulira yoyendetsedwa ndi stencil ya Leifeld, yofanana ndi makina akale opangidwa ndi stencil. Wogwiritsa ntchitoyo amagwiritsa ntchito joystick yomwe imayendetsa stylus pa template yooneka ngati gawo lozungulira. "Ichi ndi chiyambi cha automation ya TMS," adatero mchimwene wake wa Eric, Craig, yemwe tsopano ndi wachiwiri kwa purezidenti wa malonda a TMS.
Ukadaulo wa kampaniyo unapita patsogolo kudzera mu mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya ma lathe ozungulira oyendetsedwa ndi template, zomwe zinapangitsa kuti makina olamulidwa ndi makompyuta omwe mafakitale amagwiritsa ntchito masiku ano. Komabe, mbali zingapo za kupota zitsulo zimasiyanitsa izi ndi njira zina. Choyamba, ngakhale machitidwe amakono kwambiri sangayendetsedwe bwino ndi munthu amene sadziwa zoyambira za kupota.
"Simungangoyikapo kanthu ndikulola makinawo kuti azizungulira gawolo kutengera zojambulazo," adatero Eric, ndikuwonjezera kuti ogwiritsa ntchito ayenera kupanga mapulogalamu atsopano a magawo mwa kusintha joystick yomwe imasintha malo a roller popanga ntchito. Nthawi zambiri imachitidwa maulendo angapo, koma ikhoza kuchitika kamodzi kokha, monga pa ntchito yopangira shear, komwe zinthuzo zimatha kuchepetsedwa (kapena "kudulidwa") mpaka theka la makulidwe ake. Chitsulocho "chimakula" kapena kutalikitsidwa mozungulira.
"Mtundu uliwonse wa chitsulo ndi wosiyana, ndipo pali kusiyana ngakhale mkati mwa chitsulo chomwecho, kuphatikizapo kuuma ndi mphamvu yokoka," adatero Craig. "Si zokhazo, chitsulocho chimatentha chikazungulira, ndipo kutenthako kumasamutsidwira ku chidacho. Pamene chitsulocho chikutentha, chimakula. Zonsezi zikutanthauza kuti ogwiritsa ntchito aluso ayenera kuyang'anira ntchitoyo."
Wantchito wa TMS wakhala akutsatira ntchitoyi kwa zaka 67. “Dzina lake linali Al,” anatero Eric, “ndipo sanapume pantchito mpaka atakwanitsa zaka 86.” Al anayamba pamene lathe ya shopu inali kugwira ntchito kuchokera ku lamba womangiriridwa ku shaft yokwera pamwamba. Anapuma pantchito ku shopu yokhala ndi ma spinner aposachedwa kwambiri.
Masiku ano, fakitaleyi ili ndi antchito ena omwe akhala akugwira ntchito ndi kampaniyo kwa zaka zoposa 30, ena kwa zaka zoposa 20, ndipo omwe aphunzitsidwa ntchito yopota amagwira ntchito zonse pamanja komanso paokha. Ngati sitoloyo ikufunika kupanga zida zosavuta zopota kamodzi kokha, ndikofunikira kuti chopota chiyambe kugwiritsa ntchito lathe yamanja.
Komabe, kampaniyo ikugwiritsa ntchito makina odzipangira okha, monga momwe zasonyezedwera ndi kugwiritsa ntchito maloboti popera ndi kupukuta. "Tili ndi maloboti atatu omwe akugwira ntchito yopukuta," adatero Eric. "Awiri mwa iwo apangidwa kuti azipukuta pa mzere wowongoka ndi umodzi pa mzere wopingasa."
Sitoloyi imagwiritsa ntchito mainjiniya wa roboti amene amaphunzitsa loboti iliyonse kugaya mawonekedwe enaake pogwiritsa ntchito zida za chala (Dynabrade-type), komanso zida zina zosiyanasiyana zopukusira lamba. Kupanga loboti ndi nkhani yovuta, makamaka poganizira mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zinthu zomwe zikugwiritsidwa ntchito, kuchuluka kwa zinthu zomwe zikuyenda, komanso kupsinjika kosiyanasiyana komwe lobotiyo imagwiritsa ntchito.
Kampaniyo ikugwiritsabe ntchito anthu omwe amagwira ntchito yopukuta manja, makamaka ntchito zapadera. Imagwiritsanso ntchito odulira omwe amagwira ntchito yodulira mozungulira komanso yosokera, komanso odulira omwe amagwiritsa ntchito ma planer, njira yomwe sikuti imangowonjezera ubwino wa weld komanso imathandizira kuzungulira. Ma rollers a skin passer amalimbitsa ndikuchepetsa weld bead, zomwe zimathandiza kusunga kusinthasintha kwa ntchito pamene kusinthasintha kotsatira kukufunika.
TMS inali malo ochitira makina okhaokha mpaka mu 1988, pomwe kampaniyo idapanga mzere wamba wa ma hopper okhala ndi mawonekedwe ofanana. "Tinazindikira kuti, makamaka m'makampani opanga mapulasitiki, timalandira zopempha zosiyanasiyana za mitengo ya ma hopper yomwe ingakhale yosiyana pang'ono - mainchesi asanu ndi atatu apa, kotala mainchesi apo," adatero Eric. "Chifukwa chake tinayamba ndi hopper yokhala ndi mawonekedwe ofanana mainchesi 24 yokhala ndi ngodya ya madigiri 60, tinapanga njira yozungulira yotambasula [kujambula mozama preform, kenako kupota] kwa iyo, ndipo tinapanga mzere wazinthu kuchokera pamenepo." Tinali ndi ma hopper angapo khumi, timapanga pafupifupi 50 mpaka 100 nthawi imodzi. Izi zikutanthauza kuti tilibe zokonzera zokwera mtengo zoti tichepetse ndalama ndipo makasitomala salipira zida. Ili pashelefu yokha ndipo tikhoza kuyitumiza tsiku lotsatira. Kapena titha kuchita ntchito yowonjezera, monga kuyika ferrule kapena kolala, kapena galasi lowonera, zonse zomwe zimaphatikizapo kusintha kothandizira."
Mzere wina wa zinthu, wotchedwa Cleaning Line, uli ndi mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zinyalala zachitsulo chosapanga dzimbiri. Lingaliro la zinthuzi limachokera kulikonse, makampani otsuka magalimoto.
“Timapanga ma dome ambiri otsukira magalimoto,” anatero Eric, “ndipo tinkafuna kuchotsa dome imeneyo ndikuchita china chake nayo. Tili ndi patent yopangidwa pa CleanLine ndipo tagulitsa Zaka 20.” Pansi pa ziwiya izi pamakokedwa, thupi limakulungidwa ndi kuwotcherera, dome lapamwamba limakokedwa, kutsatiridwa ndi crimping, njira yozungulira yomwe imapanga m'mphepete wokulungidwa pa workpiece, yofanana ndi nthiti zolimbikitsidwa.
Zogulitsa za Hoppers ndi Clean Line zimapezeka m'magawo osiyanasiyana a "standard". Mkati mwake, kampaniyo imafotokoza "zogulitsa zokhazikika" ngati zomwe zingachotsedwe pashelefu ndikutumizidwa. Koma kachiwiri, kampaniyo ilinso ndi "zogulitsa zokhazikika," zomwe zimapangidwa pang'ono kuchokera ku stock kenako nkukonzedwa kuti zikonzedwe. Apa ndi pomwe okonza zinthu zochokera ku mapulogalamu amachita gawo lofunika kwambiri.
"Tikufunadi makasitomala athu kuti awone malondawo ndikuwona momwe amakonzera, ma flanges omangira ndi zomaliza zomwe akupempha," adatero Maggie Shaffer, manejala wa malonda yemwe akutsogolera pulogalamu ya configurator. "Tikufuna kuti makasitomala athe kumvetsetsa malondawo mwachibadwa."
Panthawi yolemba izi, chosinthira chimawonetsa kasinthidwe ka malonda ndi zosankha zomwe zasankhidwa ndipo chimapereka mtengo wa maola 24. (Monga opanga ambiri, TMS ikhoza kusunga mitengo yake kwa nthawi yayitali kale, koma tsopano singathe, chifukwa cha mitengo yosasinthasintha ya zinthu komanso kupezeka kwake.) Kampaniyo ikuyembekeza kuwonjezera mphamvu yokonza zolipira mtsogolo.
Pakadali pano, makasitomala amaimbira foni sitolo kuti akwaniritse maoda awo. Koma m'malo mokhala masiku kapena milungu ingapo akupanga, kukonza, ndikupeza zilolezo zojambula (nthawi zambiri kudikira nthawi yayitali mu inbox yodzaza), mainjiniya a TMS amatha kupanga zojambula ndi kudina pang'ono, kenako Tumizani zambiri ku msonkhano nthawi yomweyo.
Malinga ndi maganizo a kasitomala, kusintha kwa makina opota zitsulo kapena kupukuta ndi kupukuta kwa robotic kungakhale kosaoneka konse. Komabe, chosinthira chazinthu ndi kusintha komwe makasitomala angaone. Chimawongolera luso lawo logula ndikusunga masiku a TMS kapena milungu ingapo yokonza maoda. Si kuphatikiza koyipa.
Tim Heston, Mkonzi Wamkulu ku The FABRICATOR, wakhala akulemba nkhani zokhudza makampani opanga zitsulo kuyambira mu 1998, ndipo anayamba ntchito yake ndi American Welding Society's Welding Magazine. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, wakhala akulemba nkhani zokhudza njira zonse zopangira zitsulo kuyambira kuponda, kupindika ndi kudula mpaka kuperera ndi kupukuta. Analowa nawo ntchito ya The FABRICATOR mu Okutobala 2007.
FABRICATOR ndi magazini yotsogola kwambiri ku North America yopanga ndi kupanga zitsulo. Magaziniyi imapereka nkhani, nkhani zaukadaulo ndi mbiri yakale zomwe zimathandiza opanga kuti agwire ntchito zawo bwino kwambiri. FABRICATOR yakhala ikutumikira makampani kuyambira 1970.
Tsopano popeza tili ndi mwayi wopeza kope la digito la The FABRICATOR, titha kupeza mosavuta zinthu zofunika kwambiri m'makampani.
Magazini ya digito ya The Tube & Pipe Journal tsopano ikupezeka mosavuta, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zinthu zofunika kwambiri m'makampani zipezeke mosavuta.
Sangalalani ndi mwayi wonse wopeza kope la digito la STAMPING Journal, lomwe limapereka kupita patsogolo kwaposachedwa kwaukadaulo, njira zabwino kwambiri komanso nkhani zamakampani pamsika woponda zitsulo.
Tsopano ndi mwayi wonse wopeza kope la digito la The Fabricator en Español, mwayi wopeza zinthu zofunika kwambiri m'makampani.
