1. Ball valve assembly line composition

The ball valve automatic assembly line integrates four core modules, with specialized configurations for brass ball valve assembly line, orbit ball valve assembly line, and ball valve conveyor assembly line.

Automation equipment:

• In brass ball valve assembly line, vibrating disks and linear feeders handle brass components (corrosion resistance ≥95%), while orbit ball valve assembly line uses five-axis machine tools for precision groove machining (tolerance ±0.01mm).

• Ball valve conveyor assembly line employs stainless steel belt lines (load capacity ≥200kg/m) to transport heavy-duty valve bodies, with robots (repeatability ±0.02mm) for high-precision assembly in ball valve automatic assembly line.

Conveyor system:

• Plate chain lines in ball valve automatic assembly line ensure stable flow of workpieces between stations, while ball valve conveyor assembly line adds magnetic conveying for seamless transfer of magnetizable parts (e.g., steel stems in orbit valves).

Auxiliary devices:

• Tensioning devices in brass ball valve assembly line maintain conveyor belt stability during brass component handling, and LED process map boards in orbit ball valve assembly line guide operators through specialized orbital seating procedures.

2. Ball valve assembly line process characteristics

Work process integration

The ball valve automatic assembly line covers undercutting stamping to final testing, with brass ball valve assembly line featuring dedicated hot machining stations (temperature control ±5℃) for brass annealing. Orbit ball valve assembly line includes a unique orbital grinding process (surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm) after shot blasting, critical for leak-proof sealing.

Equipment specialization

Brass ball valve assembly line uses CNC lathes with carbide tools (tool life ≥800 hours) for high-volume brass machining, while orbit ball valve assembly line deploys ultrasonic cleaning systems (frequency 40kHz) to remove micro-particles from orbital grooves.

Ball valve conveyor assembly line integrates weight-sensitive sensors (accuracy ±0.1kg) to detect unbalanced workpiece loads, ensuring smooth flow in ball valve automatic assembly line.

Logistics automation

Vibration plates in ball valve automatic assembly line sort valve stems with 99.5% accuracy, while ball valve conveyor assembly line’s AGV trolleys (navigation error ≤10mm) automate material delivery to brass ball valve assembly line and orbit ball valve assembly line. Robots with force-feedback grippers (pressure control ±0.5N) handle delicate orbit valve seats without damage.

Production flexibility

Quick-change fixtures in ball valve automatic assembly line enable switching between 1/2"–4" valves in <15 minutes, while brass ball valve assembly line and orbit ball valve assembly line use modular tooling to adapt to lead-free brass or high-pressure orbit designs.

3. Ball valve assembly line design points

Non-standard vs. standard parts

Ball valve automatic assembly line uses non-standard vibrating plates for valve body orientation, paired with standard servo motors (efficiency ≥90%) to reduce costs. Brass ball valve assembly line incorporates standard CNC turrets but customizes tool paths for brass-specific chip evacuation.

3D simulation optimization

In orbit ball valve assembly line design, 3D software simulates orbital motion to optimize conveyor angles (±2° tolerance), while ball valve conveyor assembly line models ensure smooth transitions between belt and plate chain segments (speed variation ≤5%).

Detail design focus

• Valve body sorting: Ball valve conveyor assembly line uses electromagnetic sensors to detect valve body orientation, with reject mechanisms for misaligned parts (error rate <0.3%).

• Bonnet alignment: Brass ball valve assembly line features spring-loaded guides (compression force 5-8N) to center brass bonnets, while orbit ball valve assembly line adds vision systems (resolution 0.05mm/pixel) for real-time groove alignment.
