In the wave of intelligent transformation of the global manufacturing industry, automation equipment has become a core tool for enterprises to enhance their competitiveness. However, the demand for dispensing, screw locking, soldering and other processes in different industries varies significantly. Based on the service experience of Xiaomao Automation in the fields of automobiles, consumer electronics, etc., this article deeply analyzes the equipment selection logic of five major industries.







1. Automobile manufacturing:

the dual challenge of high precision and stability
There are thousands of screw locking processes on the automobile assembly line. Traditional manual operation is not only slow, but also has quality risks such as screw leakage and slipping. Xiaomao's automatic screw locking machine can accurately identify the screw hole position through the visual positioning system, and cooperate with multi-axis linkage technology to achieve stable locking of 2 screws per second. After the well-known automobile manufacturer Hongqi introduced the equipment, the door line assembly efficiency increased by 40%, the labor cost decreased by 60%, and the product defect rate dropped from 1.2% to 0.05%







2. Consumer electronics:

the art of balancing miniaturization and efficiency
The precision assembly of smart phones and smart wearable devices requires the equipment to complete the operation in millimeter-level space. Taking TWS earphone soldering as an example, Xiaomao's micro automatic soldering machine is equipped with a 0.3mm ultra-fine soldering iron tip and nitrogen shielded welding technology to control the solder joint diameter within 0.5mm and the surface is free of oxidation. In the field of consumer electronics screw locking, the equipment needs to achieve high-speed feeding of 60 screws per minute, while dealing with the pain point of frequent switching of screw specifications. The modularly designed rapid changeover system can compress the line change time to 5 minutes.







3. Medical devices:

strict standards for safety and material adaptation
The production of medical equipment must meet the requirements of GMP clean workshops. For the insulin pump dispensing scenario, Xiaomao has developed a medical-grade dispensing system: 316L stainless steel flow channel is used to avoid biological contamination, and 6 types of medical glues such as UV glue and epoxy resin are supported. Precise measurement. In the soldering of surgical instruments, the equipment needs to be compatible with special materials such as titanium alloys, and the heat-affected zone is reduced to 0.1mm through laser-assisted heating technology to avoid deformation of the instrument structure.







4. Toy Manufacturing:

Cost Control Methods for Flexible Production
The production characteristics of small batches and multiple varieties in the toy industry require the equipment to have the ability to adapt quickly. For example, in the plastic toy assembly line, the Xiaomao automatic screw locking machine is equipped with a 3D vision system, which can automatically identify more than 200 special-shaped screw holes, with a tolerance compensation range of ±2mm. For the soldering needs of plush toy electronic modules, the equipment needs to be equipped with an electrostatic elimination device and a smoke purification system to ensure employee safety while meeting environmental protection requirements.







5. New Energy Industry:

Performance Breakthroughs under Extreme Working Conditions
Power battery pack assembly poses special challenges to equipment. In the battery module locking link, the Xiaomao automatic screw locking machine adopts a gas-electric isolation design and is equipped with a hydrogen concentration monitoring module to ensure safe operation in an explosion risk environment. In response to the corrosion resistance requirements of battery pole ear solder, the equipment uses nano-coating technology to extend the life of the soldering iron tip by 3 times, and reduces the risk of false soldering through multi-stage temperature curve control.
