Abstract
This research investigates the optimization of semi-automated machines, specifically the SDKZ and RD 708 models. The study focuses on identifying and addressing bottlenecks in the current production process, aiming to reduce cycle time and increase productivity. The primary bottleneck in the SDKZ machine is the manual pick-and-place operation of cams. We propose implementing an automated pick-and-place system inspired by the RD 708 model to mitigate this. This involves a comprehensive design process, encompassing 2D and 3D modeling, mechanical and electrical integration, and programming. Additionally, manufacturing considerations such as material selection, assembly procedures, and process optimization are incorporated to ensure the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the modified machine. The study's outcome shows that productivity efficiency has increased from 69% to 76.5%. This work will contribute to the enhancement of the SDKZ machine's overall performance and competitiveness.
