Keyword 1: Intelligence

1, smart design

This year's CAD field brought together three major internationally renowned software companies: Shoemaster in Italy, Delcam in the United Kingdom, and Mind in Portugal. They all displayed the 2014? shoe-like design software, which has achieved many intelligent functions on the basis of the past. Taking DelcamShoemaker2014 as an example, the transitional technology from manual imitation to independent development has been added, and the process of combining traditional manual tracing to computer 3D opening has been added. In the “rendering” function of three-dimensional renderings, the three companies have accumulated technology for many years. Based on this, they can achieve the extension from design to sales: DelcamShoemaker2014 completes the 3D part of shoes and uses animation to automatically decompose shoe-like components. Consumers can 360. Watching the composition of shoe-like components, and then instantly combining animations, both stimulates face-to-face sales and facilitates online orders. Consumers can personalize their choices on the Internet (determine shoes) and immediately generate effects and send them to the factory for production. In addition, there are some intelligent implementations, such as the system: When you have a file with a skull and similar shoes, you need to develop a new skull. The software can automatically move and automatically combine functions, automatically variate the colors and lines, and reduce labor. Interventions are also beneficial to achieve faster, better and more quasi-purposes.

2, intelligent identification and calculation

It is well-known that natural leather has flaws: Blood tendons, dark wounds, blemishes, lines ... traditional methods, relying on the experience of manual masters to identify, and therefore the treatment of master skin examination due to the length of their qualifications. The famous Italian shoe machine company CAMOGA brought a surprise to the industry: its self-developed leather scanning technology. It can identify and even classify the defects of natural leather, and automatically identify and calculate the utilization level through software, which greatly improves the utilization rate of natural leather and the protection of favorable animal resources. An intelligent identification of leather is actually the process of classifying various types of oysters and customizing the levels of A, B, C, D... and then setting A level (the best part of leather) to be used for important items such as toe caps. Parts, Class B (although there are) but can be used, commonly known as "eat", C and D may not be able to use, and various levels actually account for the ratio of the entire leather, can also be calculated through software intelligence.

3, smart typesetting

Leather automatic typesetting has always been a worldwide technical problem in the field of NC leather typesetting and cutting. Several major brands upgrade technology and products every year. However, this exhibition led the technology is ... ... a dark horse from Asia - China Dongguan Emma NC. Since the launch of the fully automatic typesetting software in 2008, based on the actual application of the customer's factory, and after six years of continuous R&D and upgrade, the "iwin Love Cloud" multi-core cloud intelligent typesetting system was launched in September 2013. According to the introduction, it is possible to achieve a 2 to 4 times faster calculation speed than the previous version (1.0 to 5.0). Compared with manual printing, it greatly saves the layout time and improves the production efficiency. It also saves more manual labor and reduces labor intensity for manual masters. The work efficiency was demonstrated at the China International Leather Fair and the 2013 World's largest sewing equipment exhibition. This year is Emma's debut in SIMAC & TANNINGTECH.

4, smart operation

The smart operation application, especially the latest "CALIBRATORE" system launched by CERIM, one of the giants of the Italian clamp force machine, is the most sophisticated. "CALIBRATORE" is a visual system that can be configured on CERIM's production machine to ensure that any type of production meets the required quality standards. It consists of a camera and a display, which can be interfaced with the electronic control system of the machine. It helps the operator to correctly position the upper center of the shoe in a simple and direct manner, whether it is the right foot or the left foot. The camera is vertically aligned with the shoe (the upper on the hoe) for framing from above. During the set-up phase, the upper (for the right foot) used for the reference is placed on the machine when all the machine model parameters are remembered by the machine: check the centering position, adjust the jaws and pull in the correct way. After this is done, a photo will be taken and combined with each processing program: The software will automatically process the image so that it applies to the left foot (according to the initial step, it can also be the right foot). The image is saved to create an electronic file that can be copied for use on other CERIM machines: always the model mentioned above. In the production process, when the operator extracts the production process of the shoe being processed, a photo of the reference shoe appears on the display screen. The camera starts up at this moment: Through a special software, the image of the shoes in the closing stage is covered by the stored photos. The covered image is transparent, allowing the operator to perform all necessary adjustments in a simple and fast manner, resulting in a perfect alignment between the reference photo and the finished shoe. If the effect is satisfactory, the parameters can be saved for production of the corresponding batch. In addition, machines equipped with the "CALIBRATORE" system also ensure traditional production capacity, and non-professionals can also operate.

5, smart delivery

ANZANI and VOLONTE, the world leaders in the highest level of shoe production, have brought the world's most advanced "smart delivery technology": In the process of assembly line delivery, it is possible to clearly distinguish small quantities of various orders and distinguish shoes parts. It can achieve three-dimensional transmission between different types of sewing seams and reduce excessive manual intervention. The realization of more intelligent functions has made the traditional flat-plate assembly line in Asian factories far behind.

6, smart peeling

Therefore, it can be inferred that the future shoe-making intelligence technology will become increasingly modular and small-quantity. Such as the latest peeler, based on thinning experience, the development of similar electronic products handwriting input method, often enter a word, the result will automatically pop up with its associated words and words, the same principle of smart peeler, which cut Much more, the computer will automatically memorize and store, and when you press the key again, it will automatically memorize the operation. Although intelligent implementation is a relatively long process, every step is the crystallization of human wisdom. The purpose is to reduce the value of artificial experience, speed up the process, and increase efficiency.

Keyword 2: Automatic

With the advancement of industrialization, fewer and fewer resources have become available, and automation technology has become more and more widely used. The shoemaking and leather automation technologies have been introduced to the market and have always been a great meal for SIMAC & TANNINGTECH.

1, automatic cutting

The world's top five leather leather CNC cutting machine brands COMELZ, TESEO, ATOM, EliTRON, EMMA (Dongguan Emma) all attended the exhibition, displaying the most complete categories, the most diverse technology portfolio, and the most abundant software and hardware categories in this field. . All five companies have brought about a streamlined transmission line that solves the typography of the production line and receives more quickly and more efficiently, automatic cutting automatic transmission technology, single head, double head, three heads, multi-head cutting and other technologies. According to reports, Dongguan Emma from Asia is also developing three-head, four-head, and six-head cutting technologies to maximize the speed and productivity of traditional factories, free labor, and empirical value dependence.

2, automatic sewing

This year, the field of automatic sewing also made all visitors feel the rapid advancement of technology. In addition to continuing the traditional computer XY axis transmission, also

It can further realize 360-degree rotation, and ensure that the stitches follow the original laws, subdividing the function of the footwear industry such as single-needle, double-needle, and thick-line, and innovating a superposition technology in the process of application: past clothing vehicles The sewing processes are all piece-by-piece and apply to the shoemaking field. According to the specific shape of the shoes, it is necessary to realize multi-level stair-stitching and even three-layer stitching, and the maximum range of processing width is up to 100×. 100cm, the price is not cheap, about 8 ~ 100,000 euros / Taiwan.

3, clamp machine automatic glue

Traditional shoe gluing, that is, a simple brushing glue. The automatic + smart combination technology demonstrated this year brings more new expectations to the industry. The biggest highlight of this technology is: It can automatically adjust the glue, according to the different type of intelligent control of plastic thickness, glue location. It can reduce the direct contact between hand and glue, it can also save glue material, and the effect is even and beautiful.

4, automatic transmission

The automatic transmission technology introduced here, it is necessary to distinguish the concept: First, pipeline-type automatic transmission, the second automatic transmission of the robot arm.

Here we mainly recommend automatic transfer of the robot arm: from station A to station B, no human hands are required. Some functions are designed directly in the machine, while others rely on robotic arms alone. For example, the shaping process, the fixture of the clamp machine, conveys the shoe lasts with a clamp to the setting machine with a belt conveyor. After over-setting, the other clamp will clamp the shoe last to the freezing link, and the whole process will completely replace the manual.

5, automatic grinding (abrasive / sand bottom)

It is well-known that the traditional shoe-grinding/sanding process is wasteful and wasteful, but it is indispensable. Another new technology introduced at this exhibition is automatic grinding (sanding/sanding) technology. Specific operations: 1, sand bottom, the sole needs to be polished and sand trajectory stored to the computer, use the robot to grasp the position of the hammer head, start the grinding wheel, the effect is very stable and standard. 2, edging, such as safety shoes, the bottom of the shoe is usually composed of several layers of material, the surface will be uneven, with a robot to grasp the location, start the grinding wheel, the relative manual, work efficiency, more uniform.

6, automatic spray adhesive

In the same way, the traditional glue spraying process consumes consumables when it is wasted, and the operation is very simple: the spray head is used to spray the shoe parts, and the spray can not be controlled because of multiple sprays. The automatic spray glue, then the first camera with the desired part of the spray shot, store the computer for positioning settings, usually within 5mm narrow range, the nozzle will automatically follow the set side walk, after the spray, and then automatically transition to Drying process.

7, automatic injection

The injection molding shoes automatic injection technology, the efficiency is more obvious, directly eliminating the sticky bottom of this process. Some shoes do not require a sand-bottom process, and they use a robot to directly perform the filling work, and do not need to be hand-stick and stick.

8, automatic polishing

Polishing shoes is equally indispensable to the sanding process. In this field, new technology has also been introduced at this year's show: the use of robots to achieve polishing can save manpower. However, there is still a long way to go before large-scale applications can be implemented in Asian factories.

9, automatic logistics

Warehousing and logistics automation can speed up the product to the shelf. For processing plants can help shorten the delivery time and make the order smooth. For brand factories, they can ensure that products are put on and off in time, grasp product sales dynamics, and assist in adjusting market strategies. The specific performance is: After completing the last process of shoe making on the assembly line, the shoes pass the automatic conveyor belt to the warehouse, automatic loading, packing, storage, and then loading and unloading and shipping.

Automation is not an illusion, it can be used to achieve, around the fast province, reasonable planning and configuration of human, material and material resources to achieve maximum utilization and efficiency.
