Which enterprises will use non-standard automation equipment? What we know about this issue is that automation technology is widely used in industries, agriculture, military, scientific research, transportation, commerce, medical care, services, and families. Using automation technology can not only liberate people from heavy physical labor, partial mental labor, and harsh and dangerous working environments, but also expand human organ functions, greatly improving labor productivity, Strengthen human beings' ability to understand and transform the world. Therefore, automation is an important condition and significant symbol for the modernization of industry, agriculture, national defense, and science and technology. The non-standard automation equipment we have developed is applied to fields such as automobiles, nuclear power, aerospace, and new energy. In fact, from the definition of automation technology, non-standard automation equipment is closely related to our lives.
So what is non-standard equipment? The definition of non-standard equipment refers to equipment that is not manufactured in accordance with unified industry standards and specifications issued by the state, but is designed and manufactured according to their own use needs and whose appearance or performance is not included in the national equipment product catalog. In my industry's words, it means developing and designing equipment based on your needs and the technical parameters provided.
In recent years, with the rapid development of nuclear power projects and the new energy vehicle market, the demand for non-standard automation equipment for testing has increased. Nuclear power testing equipment includes biaxial fatigue testing machines, biaxial creep testing machines, hot indoor pressure explosion testing machines, and other non-standard automation equipment for new energy testing includes lithium battery precision pressure control units, high and low temperature cooling cycle comprehensive testing platforms, and pipeline fatigue testing platforms.
So what is automation equipment? Automation equipment is defined as a large complete set of equipment in an automation system, which refers to the process of automatically operating or controlling a machine or device according to specified procedures or instructions without human intervention. The automation equipment consists of five parts: a program unit, an action unit, a sensing unit, a formulation unit, and a control unit.
How to classify automation equipment? Equipment in industrial automation systems involves the following two aspects. First, automation equipment includes programmable controllers, sensors, encoders, human-machine interfaces, switches, circuit breakers, buttons, contactors, relays, and other industrial electrical and pneumatic equipment; Second, instruments and measuring equipment: including pressure instruments, temperature instruments, flow instruments, level instruments, valves, etc.
From their definition, there is a significant difference between non-standard automation equipment and automation equipment. Automation equipment is a large complete set of equipment, with certain professional and limiting settings. It is a fixed model, while non-standard automation equipment is matched and set according to actual needs, with convenient operation and flexibility. Functions can be added according to user requirements, rather than standard equipment. non-standard automation refers to small-scale production, The production volume of automation equipment is large.
Automation greatly improves labor productivity, enhances human beings' ability to understand and transform the world. Automation equipment not only allows enterprises to better control their spending budgets and improve work efficiency, but non-standard automation equipment meets the needs of enterprises for equipment, better invests in work, and greatly improves work efficiency.
