Roller yakabatana neruoko rwe lever yakagadzirwa pedyo nedhayamita yekunze yechikamu chinotenderera. Zvinhu zvekushandisa zvakakosha zvinodiwa pakushanda kwekutenderera kwakawanda zvinosanganisira mandrel, vateveri vanobata simbi, maroller nemaoko e lever anoumba chikamu chacho, uye chishandiso chekupfekedza. Mufananidzo: Toledo Metal Spinning Company.
Kushanduka kwezvigadzirwa zveToledo Metal Spinning Co. kungasava kwakajairika, asi hakusi kwakasiyana muzvitoro zvekugadzira nekugadzira simbi. Chitoro chiri kuToledo, Ohio chakatanga kugadzira zvidimbu zvakagadzirwa uye chakazivikanwa nekugadzira mhando dzakasiyana dzezvigadzirwa. Sezvo kudiwa kwacho kwakawedzera, chakaunza zvigadzirwa zvakajairwa zvakawanda zvichibva pane zvakajairika.
Kubatanidza kugadzira zvinhu kuti zviongororwe uye kugadzira zvinhu kuti zviongororwe kunobatsira kuti zvinhu zvienderane nezvinodiwa muchitoro. Kudzokorora mabasa kunovhurawo mukana wekugadzira marobhoti nedzimwe mhando dzezvishandiso zvemagetsi. Mari inowanikwa uye purofiti yakawedzera, uye nyika yakaita seyaifamba zvakanaka.
Asi bhizinesi riri kukura nekukurumidza sezvinobvira here? Vatungamiriri vechitoro chine vashandi makumi mana nevashanu vaiziva kuti sangano iri rine mikana yakawanda, kunyanya pavakaona mainjiniya ekutengesa achipedza nguva yavo. Kunyangwe TMS ichipa zvigadzirwa zvakawanda, zvigadzirwa zvakawanda hazvigone kungotorwa kubva muzvinhu zvakapedzwa zvotumirwa. Zvakagadzirirwa kuodha. Izvi zvinoreva kuti mainjiniya ekutengesa vanopedza nguva yakawanda vachigadzirira mapepa eodha dzehopper, vachitsanangura maferrule pano uye zvimwe zvinhu kana mapolish pano.
TMS ine dambudziko reinjiniya, uye kuti ibvise dambudziko iri, gore rino kambani yakaunza sisitimu yekugadzirisa zvigadzirwa. Software yakagadzirwa pamusoro peSolidWorks inobvumira vatengi kugadzirisa zvigadzirwa zvavo uye kugamuchira mitengo online. Iyi automation yehofisi yekumberi inofanira kurerutsa kugadziriswa kweodha uye, chinonyanya kukosha, kubvumira mainjiniya ekutengesa kubata mabasa akawanda akagadzirwa mahara. Muchidimbu, chishandiso chinofanira kubatsira kuvandudza mashandiro emitengo uye mashandiro einjiniya, chinhu chakanaka. Pamusoro pezvose, kana michina nemitengo zvikasashanda zvakanaka, zvinoomera chitoro kukura.
Nhoroondo yeTMS inotangira kuma1920 uye mugari wekuGermany ainzi Rudolph Bruehner. Aiva muridzi wekambani iyi kubva muna 1929 kusvika 1964, achishandisa vagadziri vesimbi vane hunyanzvi vane ruzivo rwemakore akawanda vachishanda nemachira nemachira, vachivandudza mashandiro ekutenderera. Lathe inotenderedza nzvimbo isina chinhu, uye mugadziri wesimbi anoshandisa chibatiso kudzvanya maroller pachinhu chebasa, zvichiita kuti chiumbwe pamadziro.
TMS yakazopedzisira yawedzera kudhirowa kwakadzika, ichigadzira zvikamu zvakadhindwa pamwe chete ne preforms dzekutenderedza. Chinotambanudzira chinorovera preform uye chinoiisa pa rotary lathe. Kutanga ne preform pane flat blank kunoita kuti chinhu chacho chitenderedzwe kusvika pakadzika zvakanyanya uye dhayamita diki.
Nhasi uno, TMS ichiri bhizinesi remhuri, asi harisi bhizinesi remhuri raBruehner. Kambani iyi yakachinjana maoko muna 1964, apo Bruehner akaitengesa kuna Ken naBill Fankauser, vasiri vashandi vesimbi vemazuva ese vanobva kunyika yekare, asi mainjiniya uye akaunzi. Mwanakomana waKen, Eric Fankhauser, uyo zvino ari mutevedzeri wemutungamiri weTMS, anotaura nyaya yacho.
"Semushandi we accountant mudiki, baba vangu vakawana account ye [TMS] kubva kushamwari yavo yaishanda kukambani ye accounting yeErnst and Ernst. Baba vangu vaiongorora mafekitori nemakambani uye vakaita basa rakanaka, Rudy akapa. Akatumira cheki ye$100. Izvi zvakaisa baba vangu mu bind. Kana vakabvisa cheki iyoyo, zvaizova kupesana kwezvido. Saka vakaenda kune vamwe vaErnst naErnst ndokubvunza zvekuita, uye vakamuudza kuti aise cheki ye Endorsed kune mumwe wavo. Akazviita uye cheki yacho payakabviswa, Rudy akagumbuka zvikuru kumuona achibvumidzwa kushanda kukambani. Akafonera baba vangu kuhofisi yake ndokuvaudza kuti akatsamwa. Haana kuchengeta mari yacho. Baba vangu vakavatsanangurira kuti kwaive kupesana kwezvido."
"Rudy akafunga nezvazvo ndokuzoti, 'Ndiwe munhu wandinoda kuti dai ndirini muridzi wekambani iyi. Une chido chekuitenga here?'"
Ken Fankhauser akafunga nezvazvo, ndokuzofonera mukoma wake Bill, uyo panguva iyoyo aive mainjiniya wezvemuchadenga kuBoeing muSeattle. Sezvinotaurwa naEric, "Sekuru vangu Bill vakabhururuka vakatarisa kambani uye vakasarudza kuitenga. Zvimwe zvese inhoroondo."
Gore rino, gadziriso yezvigadzirwa zvepamhepo yekugadzirisa zvigadzirwa kuti zviodharwe nemaTMS akawanda yakabatsira kugadzirisa mashandiro ebasa uye kuvandudza ruzivo rwevatengi.
Ken naBill pavakatenga TMS kuma1960, vaive nechitoro chakazara nemichina yekare inodhonzwa nemabhandi. Asi izvi zvinoitikawo panguva iyo kutenderera simbi (uye michina yekugadzira) iri kuchinja kubva pakushanda nemaoko kuenda pakudzora kwakarongeka.
Mumakore ekuma1960, vaviri ava vakatenga lathe inotenderera inofambiswa nestencil yeLeifeld, yakafanana nepunch press yekare inofambiswa nestencil. Mushandi anoshandisa joystick inofambisa stylus patemplate yakaita sechikamu chinotenderera. "Uku ndiko kutanga kweTMS automation," akadaro mukoma waEric, Craig, uyo zvino ari mutevedzeri wemutungamiri wekutengesa weTMS.
Tekinoroji yekambani iyi yakafambira mberi kuburikidza nemhando dzakasiyana dzema lathe anotenderera anofambiswa ne template, zvichiguma nemichina inodzorwa nemakombiyuta iyo mafekitori anoshandisa nhasi. Kunyange zvakadaro, zvinhu zvakasiyana-siyana zvekutenderera simbi zvinoisiyanisa nemamwe maitiro. Chekutanga, kunyangwe masisitimu emazuva ano haagone kufambiswa zvinobudirira nemunhu asingazivi zvekutanga zvekutenderera.
"Haungangoisa chinhu chisina chinhu woita kuti muchina utenderedze chikamu chacho wobva wachishandisa mufananidzo wacho," akadaro Eric, achiwedzera kuti vashandi vanofanira kugadzira mapurogiramu matsva echikamu nekushandisa joystick inogadzirisa nzvimbo yeroller panguva yekugadzira kuburikidza nebasa. Kazhinji inoitiswa kakawanda, asi inogona kuitwa kamwe chete, senge mukushanda kwekucheka, uko chinhu chacho chinogona kutetepa (kana "kuchekwa") kusvika hafu yeukobvu hwayo. Simbi pachayo "inokura" kana kureba munzira yekutenderera.
"Rudzi rumwe nerumwe rwesimbi rwakasiyana, uye kune misiyano kunyangwe mukati mesimbi imwe chete, kusanganisira kuomarara uye simba rekudhonza," akadaro Craig. "Hazvisi izvozvo chete, simbi inopisa painotenderera, uye kupisa ikoko kunozoendeswa kuchishandiso. Sezvo simbi ichipisa, inowedzera kukura. Zvese izvi zvinoreva kuti vashandi vane hunyanzvi vanofanirwa kutarisa basa."
Mushandi weTMS ave achitevera basa iri kwemakore makumi matanhatu nemanomwe. "Zita rake rainzi Al," akadaro Eric, "uye haana kuenda pamudyandigere kusvika ava nemakore makumi masere nematanhatu." Al akatanga apo lathe yechitoro yaishanda kubva pabhandi rakabatanidzwa pamugodhi wepamusoro. Akarega basa kubva muchitoro chine maspinner matsva anogona kurongwa.
Nhasi uno, fekitori iyi ine vamwe vashandi vanga vari mukambani iyi kwemakore anopfuura makumi matatu, vamwe anopfuura makumi maviri, uye avo vakadzidziswa kutenderera vanoshanda nemaoko uye otomatiki. Kana chitoro ichi chichifanira kugadzira zvikamu zviri nyore zvekutenderera kamwe chete, zvichiri nemusoro kuti spinner itange lathe nemaoko.
Kunyange zvakadaro, kambani iyi iri kushandisa otomatiki, sezvinoratidzwa nekushandisa kwayo marobhoti mukukuya nekupukuta. "Tine marobhoti matatu ari mukati medu ari kupukuta," akadaro Eric. "Maviri acho akagadzirirwa kupukuta padivi rakamira uye rimwe padivi rakatwasuka."
Chitoro ichi chinoshandisa mainjiniya wemarobhoti anodzidzisa robhoti rega rega kukuya maumbirwo chaiwo achishandisa maturusi eminwe (Dynabrade-type), pamwe nemamwe magrinder emabhandi akasiyana-siyana. Kuronga robhoti inyaya yakaoma, kunyanya tichifunga nezvezvikamu zvakasiyana-siyana zvinoshandiswa, huwandu hwemapasi, uye kumanikidzwa kwakasiyana-siyana kunoshandiswa nerobhoti.
Kambani iyi ichiri kushandisa vanhu vanopukuta nemaoko, kunyanya mabasa akagadzirwa nemaoko. Inoshandisawo vanowedera vanowedera mativi ose uye vanowedera, pamwe nevanevera vanoshandisa maplaner, maitiro asingangogadzirisi kunaka kweweld chete asiwo anozadzisa kutenderera. Maroller eganda rinopaza anosimbisa uye anotsvedzerera weld bead, izvo zvinobatsira kuchengetedza kurongeka kwemaitiro kana kutenderera kunotevera kuchidikanwa.
TMS yaive nzvimbo yemuchina isina kuzara kusvika muna 1988, apo kambani yakagadzira mhando yehopper dzakafanana. "Takaona kuti, kunyanya muindasitiri yepurasitiki, taizogamuchira zvikumbiro zvakasiyana zvemitengo yehopper yaizongosiyana zvishoma - mainji masere pano, makirogiramu mana ikoko," akadaro Eric. "Saka takatanga nehopper ine 24-inch. Hopper ine angle ye60-degree, takagadzira nzira yekutambanudza [dhonza zvakadzama preform, wozotenderera] yayo, uye takavaka mhando yechigadzirwa kubva ipapo." Taive nemahopper akawanda gumi, tinogadzira angangoita 50 kusvika 100 panguva. Izvi zvinoreva kuti hatina magadzirirwo anodhura ekubhadhara mari uye vatengi havafanirwe kubhadhara maturusi. Inongova pasherufu uye tinogona kuitumira mangwana acho. Kana kuti tinogona kuita rimwe basa rekuwedzera, sekuisa ferrule kana collar, kana girazi rekuona, zvese izvi zvinosanganisira mamwe mabasa ekubatsira."
Imwe mhando yezvigadzirwa, inonzi Cleaning Line, inosanganisira mhando dzakasiyana dzemidziyo yesimbi isingatsvi. Pfungwa iyi yechigadzirwa inobva kwese kwese, indasitiri yekuwacha mota.
"Tinogadzira madhomu akawanda evacuum cleaner ekugezesa mota," akadaro Eric, "uye taida kubvisa dome iroro toita chimwe chinhu nacho. Tine patent yekugadzira paCleanLine uye takatengesa makore makumi maviri." Pasi pemidziyo iyi panodhonzwa, muviri unomonerwa wobatanidzwa, dome repamusoro rinodhonzwa, richiteverwa nekukwenya, maitiro anotenderera anogadzira mupendero wakamonerwa pachinhu chebasa, zvakafanana nembabvu dzakasimbiswa.
Zvigadzirwa zveHoppers neClean Line zvinowanikwa mumazinga akasiyana e "standard". Mukati, kambani inotsanangura "standard product" seimwe inogona kubviswa pasherufu yotumirwa. Asi zvakare, kambani ine "standard custom products," iyo inogadzirwa zvishoma kubva mustock yozogadziriswa kuti iodhe. Apa ndipo panoita basa guru masoftware-based product configurators.
"Tinoda chaizvo kuti vatengi vedu vaone chigadzirwa uye vaone magadzirirwo azvo, maflanges ekumisikidza uye mafinishes avari kukumbira," akadaro Maggie Shaffer, maneja wekushambadzira ari kutungamira chirongwa checonfigurator. "Tinoda kuti vatengi vakwanise kunzwisisa chigadzirwa nenzira yekunzwisisa."
Panguva yekunyora uku, configurator inoratidza magadzirirwo echigadzirwa nesarudzo dzakasarudzwa uye inopa mutengo wemaawa makumi maviri nemana. (Kufanana nevagadziri vazhinji, TMS yaigona kuchengetedza mitengo yayo kwenguva yakareba kare, asi haigone ikozvino, nekuda kwemitengo yezvinhu isingachinji uye kuwanikwa kwayo.) Kambani iyi inotarisira kuwedzera kugona kwekugadzirisa kubhadhara mune ramangwana.
Pari zvino, vatengi vanofonera chitoro kuti vazadzise maodha avo. Asi pachinzvimbo chekupedza mazuva kana kunyange mavhiki vachigadzira, vachironga, uye vachiwana mvumo yekudhirowa (kazhinji vachimirira kwenguva yakareba mubhokisi remainbox rakazara), mainjiniya eTMS vanogona kugadzira madhirowa nekudzvanya kashoma, vobva vatumira ruzivo kuworkshop nekukasika.
Kubva pamaonero emutengi, kuvandudzwa kwemichina yekumonera simbi kana kupwanya nekupukuta kwemarobhoti kunogona kusaoneka zvachose. Zvisinei, configurator yechigadzirwa ibudiriro iyo vatengi vanogona kuona. Inovandudza ruzivo rwavo rwekutenga uye inochengetedza mazuva eTMS kana kunyange mavhiki ekugadzirisa maodha. Haisi musanganiswa wakaipa.
