Fixture Spacing on Assembly Conveyor
Fixture Spacing on Assembly Conveyor
(OP)
Can anyone tell me if there is a standard method/formula for determining the spacing between fixtures/jigs on an assembly conveyor. I know what processes will be completed and the basic sequence & time etc.
Thank-You

RE: Fixture Spacing on Assembly Conveyor
my opinion only not scientific study by professor and 12 researchers.
If your line is " rigid " the items can't move and you have no buffering then the spacing will be maximum wastage you can tolerate. Including off load onloading etc. Simply because nothing moves until that one is done.
If the items have some flexibilty and stay on the line and buffer up then its the speed of the transport system ~ the items won't clash. This will approximate the unload or load time. when the work is not moving wth the line.
I hope that is a bit of use to you. Maybe it will geneerate some comment from our more learned colleques.
