ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka CNC machining a me nā lako hana metala e pili ana i ka hoʻoholo ʻana i ke kaʻina hana kūpono a me ke kumukūʻai kūpono no kēlā me kēia ʻāpana.#Kumu
"I ka neʻe ʻana o Pringles i ke kūlanakauhale, ua loli nā mea a pau," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Jeff Cupples i kona holo ʻana i ke ala nui, ma kahi mamao aku o ka hale metala i kapa ʻia ma muli o kona inoa hope.Hoʻokahi hola e holo ai mai ke keʻena nui o ka hui ʻo J&J o Cupples ma Jackson a hiki i West Tennessee a hiki i ka hale hana satellite ma Dyersburg-ua lawa ka manawa no ka hoʻolauna ʻana a me kekahi ʻike hope, ʻo ka mea mua, pehea ka manawa e kōkua ai i ka hana ʻana i nā mīkini ʻuala. ʻO ka ambition he mea hana maʻalahi a me ka hale kūʻai poni i kēlā manawa.
ʻOhi nā limahana i nā ʻāpana mai kekahi o nā mīkini ʻoki laser fiber hou o ka hui, ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki ma mua o ko lākou mau hoahānau CO2.He 25 mau lasers ka huina o ka Cupples 'J&J, mai ka hui pū ʻana o ka laser fiber 3 kW a i ka laser fiber 20 kW, ma kāna mau hale hana ma Jackson a me Dalesburg, Tennessee.
E hele i loko o ka hale hana satellite 65,000-square-foot a e ʻike ʻoe i ka lōʻihi o ka hele ʻana o Johnson & Johnson Company of Cupples.Aia nā mea hana ma ʻaneʻi mai nā mīkini milling, lathes a me EDM a hiki i nā mīkini kuʻi, nā wili CNC a me nā welders robotic.ʻO kēia mau mea a pau, ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike i kahi aniani ākea a ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī me nā hana like i loko o ka pā kula nui ʻehiku hale o kahi kokoke i 40 mau ʻeka, aia nō hoʻi nā hana lawelawe ma ka paena a me kekahi o ka Eagle a me Bystronic fiber lasers mua.Hoʻokahi ʻano mīkini ʻoki ma kekahi ʻaoʻao.ʻO ka manawa koke, ʻo ka huaʻōlelo "hoʻokahi-stop shop" i hoʻohana ʻia e Jeff Cupples ma mua i like me ka liʻiliʻi.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka mea e hoʻokaʻawale ai kēia hui me nā limahana he 400, ʻo ia ka lako ponoʻī, inā ma Dellsburg a i Jackson paha.ʻO ka ʻokoʻa a me ka hoʻonui ʻana o ka mīkini a me ka hana hana ʻana ma muli o ka pili ʻana i kahi manaʻo koʻikoʻi.E like me kā Cupples i ʻōlelo ai, "ʻO kēlā me kēia ʻāpana kona mau hiʻohiʻona ponoʻī" - ʻo ia hoʻi, ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana i ka metala, i kahi manawa kikoʻī, me nā kumuwaiwai kikoʻī a me nā koi o ka mea kūʻai aku, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kumukūʻai ma mua o nā pōmaikaʻi koho ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ka "ʻike" o kēlā me kēia ʻāpana he pono kūʻokoʻa o ka ʻoihana ʻo Cupples.Pehea e hiki ai i kahi hale kūʻai ke hoʻonui a hoʻololi i kona hiki me ka nalowale ʻole o ka pono piha o kēlā me kēia mana?Pehea e hoʻohana pono ai i nā mana like ʻole e like me ka ʻoki ʻana i ka laser a me ka milling CNC i ka hui like i ka manawa like?No Cupples 'J&J, hoʻomaka ka pane me kahi ʻōnaehana helu hana e ʻike a hoʻohana i nā pono o nā kaʻina hana a me nā lako hana.
Ma waho aʻe o ka puʻupuʻu o nā lako hana satellite, ʻo ka huakaʻi hoʻi i Jackson kahi manawa kūpono e kūkākūkā ai i ka huli ʻana o ke kūlana holoʻokoʻa.Ua kūkākūkā mākou i ka hoʻololi ʻana mai ka hana manual a CNC i ka makahiki 1989, a me ka hoʻohui ʻana o ka wili a me ka hana ʻana i nā mea hana no nā ʻāpana mechanical i ka makahiki 1981. Eia naʻe, ua hoʻomaka koke ʻo Cupples i kāna mau manaʻo ma ke kūʻai ʻana i ka mīkini ʻoki laser mua o ka hui ma 1997.
ʻOiai ke hana nei ka ʻoihana i nā ʻano hana like ʻole a me nā mea hana hana, ʻo ka ʻoki ʻana i ka laser kahi wahi haʻaheo.Na ke kiʻi i hāʻawi ʻia e ka Hui J&J ʻo Cupples
I kēlā manawa, ʻo ka makemake nui e kākoʻo i ka mīkini CNC a me nā mea hana hana ma o ka ʻeli wikiwiki ʻana a me ka ʻoki ʻana i nā ʻano geometric maʻalahi.ʻO ka wikiwiki (a me ka maikaʻi, i nā manawa he nui) o kēia ʻike hou ua hoʻoikaika ʻia e ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻoihana turf a me ka māla ma ka ʻāina a me nā pilina me nā mea kūʻai nui e like me MTD Products, Caterpillar, Kubota, a me Kellogg's (kūʻai ʻia ʻo Pringles mai Procter & Gamble i 2012) hoʻonui.Hoʻolilo ka laser i ka ʻoihana i kumu makemake nui o nā kauoha wikiwiki e kōkua i nā mea kūʻai aku e holo i kā lākou mau mīkini."Ma hope aʻe, ʻike mākou e holo mākou i 24 mau hola i ka lā, 6 mau lā o ka pule," wahi a Cupples.
Ua hoʻomohala ʻo Jeff Cupples, ka hope pelekikena ʻo J&J ma Cupples, i kahi pāpaʻi ʻaoʻao hoʻokahi e hoʻomaʻamaʻa a hoʻohālikelike i ke kaʻina hana ʻōlelo, a ua lilo ia i mea hoʻokūkū koʻikoʻi.ʻO ke kiʻi na Johnson & Johnson o nā Kupa.
Wehe pū ka ʻoki ʻoki laser i nā manawa hou no ka ʻimi ʻana i nā ʻaelike hana volume.ʻAʻole kēia hiki ke hoʻolaha wale i nā wili wili a me nā lathe, ua lilo ia i wahi haʻaheo loa, no laila ua ʻike ʻia ka hui no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana, hoʻololi a me ka hoʻolālā ʻana i nā nozzles ʻokiʻoki laser mai ka honua.ʻO ia ke kī i kahi hoʻolālā e hilinaʻi nei i ka hana ʻana a me ka hiki ke kākoʻo kekahi i kekahi, inā ma o nā mea hana e hana ai i ka hana pūʻulu a i ʻole ma o nā hana hoʻohui ma nā ʻāpana like."E hoʻohana mākou i ka laser e ʻoki i kekahi mea, e kulou, e hana i nā luna a hoʻopaʻa iā lākou me kahi robota, a laila e hana paha ma hope," wahi a Cupples."ʻO ka hana laser paha, a i ʻole ka hana mua ʻana a laila laser?Pahu wai?He aha ke kumu kūʻai maikaʻi loa no ka mea kūʻai?"
Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Owner a me Pelekikena James Cupples i ka Cupples' J&J Co. i ka makahiki 1966. ʻO Jansen Cupples (ke moʻopuna a James a me ke keiki a Jeff) ke hana pū nei no ka hui a ʻo ia ka mea hoʻokele waiwai.ʻO ke kiʻi na Johnson & Johnson o nā Kupa.
Ma mua o ka makahiki 1998, he mau mahina wale nō ma hope o ka hoʻokomo ʻia ʻana o ka hāmeʻa laser mua, ua kūpaʻa ʻo Cupples i ka automation ma ka pālahalaha e kōkua i ka pane ʻana i ia mau nīnau me ka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.I ka manawa like, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻo ka hapa nui o ka hoʻokūkū he "hoʻokomo ʻana i nā helu", e hoʻopiʻi ana i nā kumukūʻai maʻamau, ʻaʻohe kumu no ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka hale hana.
Ua holo mākou i ke kaʻa kolepa ma o ka hale o Jackson, e kaʻa ana i kahi mea hoʻohana laser me nā maka aniani, e ʻohi wikiwiki ana i nā ʻāpana i ʻoki hou ʻia mai kahi pūnana metala.Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua kū mākou no ka hana ʻoihana ʻoihana ma ka mīkini hoʻoheheʻe nui.Pono kēlā me kēia mau hana i nā mea nui a me nā hoʻonohonoho mākaukau e kūleʻa ai, akā hoʻomaka lāua ʻelua ma ke ala like: hoʻonohonoho pono i ka pōʻai e palapala i ke kaulahao kaʻina hana hiki, a hoʻoholo i ka mea o nā hui kūʻokoʻa ʻehā ——Manufacturing, manufacturing professional, production. a me ka hana ʻoihana - e kūpono loa no ka lawelawe ʻana i ka hana."Ua like ia me kahi hui o nā hui liʻiliʻi e hana pū ana," wehewehe ʻo Cupples."ʻO ka mea hana i ka mea nui, ʻo ia ka mea nona ka papahana, a hāʻawi lākou i nā ʻaelike i nā keʻena ʻē aʻe."
I mea e hoʻoholo ai i ke keʻena "nui" no ka hana hou, hoʻohana ʻo Cupples i ka ʻōnaehana Microsoft Excel like, i hoʻohana ʻia e nā mea koho i kēlā me kēia keʻena e "subcontract" kekahi i kekahi.Ma kēia kaʻina hana, ʻike ʻia ka manaʻo o "kēlā me kēia ʻāpana i kona ʻike ponoʻī" i nā ʻano aʻe:
Pono kēia ʻaha hui i kahi luna mīkini paʻakikī, a me ka ʻoki ʻana i ka laser, ka hoʻokumu ʻana a me nā hana wiliwili robotic.ʻO ka hana hope loa ʻo CNC machining i ka lua me ka hoʻomanawanui o ± 0.0008 iniha.Na ke kiʻi na J&J Company of Cupples.
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka manaʻo.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Cupples i ka wā e noʻonoʻo ai i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻohe kaʻina hana 100% maikaʻi, nui nā mea koho i aʻo ʻia e "māhele i nā mea āpau me 0.8."Eia nō naʻe, loaʻa i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana kona ʻano ponoʻī, e manaʻo nei aia kēlā me kēia ʻāpana i kona pono ponoʻī.ʻO ka helu maoli o kekahi hana i hāʻawi ʻia mai ka manawa a me ka ʻike.No ka laʻana, hiki i kahi ʻāpana koʻikoʻi ke kumu e manaʻo ʻia he haʻahaʻa ka maikaʻi o ka mīkini kulou ma mua o ka waiwai i manaʻo ʻia e ka pōʻai manawa o ka mīkini.
ʻAʻohe awelika.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Cupples, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kumukūʻai maʻamau o nā kikowaena hana like ʻole i ke kumukūʻai hoʻokahi, akā hiki mai nā pilikia ke loli ka hui ʻana o ka hana.E like me kāna i ʻōlelo ai, "e hoʻohālikelike i ʻekolu hapaha o kāu HMC me nā mea ʻē aʻe" a ʻike paha ka hale kūʻai "e hoʻouka ʻia kēia mau kikowaena hana nui" no ka mea hiki ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia kā lākou kumukūʻai.I ka manawa like, hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia nā mea waiwai liʻiliʻi, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka hoʻopiha.Ma J&J ma Kupa, ʻokoʻa nā kumukūʻai ma ke kahua hana a me ka hana.
Aia kēia ʻāpana i ka hui pū ʻana o ka ʻoki ʻana i ka laser, ka hana ʻana a me nā ʻāpana mīkini CNC.Na ke kiʻi na J&J Company of Cupples.
Maikaʻi ke kumu kūʻai.ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, makemake pinepine ka mīkini hoʻokahi i nā uku like ʻole no nā hana like ʻole.No ka laʻana, ʻo ka helu ʻana i ka manawa hoʻonohonoho o kahi hana i kēlā me kēia puʻupuʻu hiki ke hopena i ka hale hana like e koi ana i ka helu haʻahaʻa no ka nui o ka hana ʻana o nā ʻāpana ma mua o nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi (ʻo ka mea maʻamau e koi ai i ka hoʻonohonoho hou aku)."Ke uku nei mākou no (kahi mīkini) ma ka holo manawa," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Cupples."E ʻōlelo ka poʻe helu kālā he 24-7 ka waiwai o kēia mīkini, akā ma muli o kā mākou ʻike, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke uku i kahi uku 24-7 no ka hoʻonohonoho.Hiki iā ʻoe ke uku i ka wā e hana ai. "
Hiki i ka "Overhead" ke hana kiko'ī.E like me ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana a i ʻole ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana (e pili pū ana i nā kumukūʻai kikowaena hana), ʻokoʻa paha nā kumukūʻai e pili ana i ka mana maikaʻi a me ka halihali ʻana mai kēlā me kēia hana.E like me ka awelika o ka helu kikowaena hana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Cupples ua aʻo ʻo ia i ka wā lōʻihi ma mua o ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā kumukūʻai i nā lilo hoʻokele hiki ke kuhi hewa.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ʻoiai inā "hoʻohana ʻia ka nui o ka uku paneʻe e uhi i ka mea ʻike ʻole ʻia," ʻo ka hopena pinepine "ke ʻōlelo nei ka hōʻike hana e loaʻa ana ʻoe i ke kālā, akā ʻaʻole kāu kūlana kālā."

He wai ke kumu kūʻai.Hoʻokomo ʻia nā kumukūʻai hoʻokele maikaʻi a me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe ma ke ʻano he uku no nā kikowaena hana pākahi mai kahi mea hana i kapa ʻia ʻo "Matrix".Hoʻopuka kēia papapalapala kākoʻo i kahi matrix kikokikona: kahi ʻāpana o ka pāpalapala e hōʻike ana a hiki i 16 mau uku uku no kēlā me kēia manawa uku (e hoʻonohonoho mau ʻia i 3 a 5 mau makahiki) no kahi kikowaena hana a i ʻole ʻāpana.Hiki i ka mea koho ke hoʻokomo i nā hoʻolālā hoʻololi ʻokoʻa a hoʻonohonoho i nā manawa no ke kikowaena hana i ka wā e hoʻāʻo ai e hoʻokō i ka pahuhopu ʻōlelo.
Pono ka 'autome.Ma hope o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ka helu kikowaena hana, pono wale ka mea koho e hoʻokomo i nā mea hoʻololi e pili ana i ka ʻikepili hana, ka helu o nā ʻāpana a me nā ala kaʻina hana, nā hola hana, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe."Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻololi i ka helu kikowaena hana e like me ka mea e pono ai no nā hana hou a i ʻole nā hui hou i ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe a haʻahaʻa paha," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Cupples."Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻouka i ka helu o nā hola a mākou i holo ai ma ka mīkini a i ʻole ka ʻāpana i ka makahiki i hala, a e haʻi iā mākou inā hiki i kā mākou uku ke hoʻonui i ka loaʻa a me ka hoʻihoʻi."
ʻOiai inā he manual kēia mau helu ʻana, ʻaʻole e holo ka hana ʻana o ka ʻoihana, akā pono ia i ka manawa a me ka hoʻoikaika.I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ke noʻonoʻo nei ʻo Cupples i ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā pūʻolo polokalamu hoʻolālā waiwai waiwai (ERP) no nā makahiki.Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā ʻōnaehana i hoʻāʻo ʻia i kēia manawa he pilikia like: "Pono ʻoe e wahaheʻe iā ia," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia."He mea paʻakikī no kahi ʻōnaehana ERP e holo i nā ʻāpana mai nā mea kūʻai aku he nui i hoʻokahi ʻāpana i ka manawa like."
I ka wā o ka huakaʻi hele o ka hale hana satellite Dyersburg, ua kū mākou e kipa aku i ka ʻāpana hana "haʻihaʻi" i hōʻike ʻia ma ke kiʻi ma lalo nei.ʻO kēia kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona he nui o kahi limahana hoʻokahi e holo ana i kahi mīkini me kahi kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻouka ʻana (laser) a me kahi mīkini me ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa (mīkini bending) i ka manawa like."Naha" kēia ʻāpana no ka mea e holo mau ana ka mīkini i nā ʻāpana like ʻole, maʻamau no nā mea kūʻai he nui."Pēia mākou e hoʻokūkū ai me Kina," wahi a Coops.
ʻO ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā lako kumu kūʻai kiʻekiʻe (nā mīkini ʻoki laser) ma hope o nā mea kūʻai haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa (nā mīkini kuʻi) hiki i kekahi limahana ke holo i nā ʻāpana like ʻole mai nā mea kūʻai aku ma nā mīkini ʻelua i ka manawa like.
Eia naʻe, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Cupples, ʻo nā ʻāpana i hōʻino ʻia e hoʻopau i nā polokalamu hoʻokele hale kūʻai e pili pono ana i ka hana i hāʻawi ʻia i nā kikowaena hana like ʻole me ka uku uku.Ma ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pāpalapala, maʻalahi ke "hoʻohui i kēia mau kumukūʻai a hoʻonohonoho i nā uku o ka ʻāpana hana."A i ʻole, hiki iā ia ke "ʻae i nā kikowaena hana kiʻekiʻe e lawe i ka hana" no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pono hou mai nā mīkini haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa.
Ma waho aʻe o nā pilikia o ka uku, ʻaʻole ʻo "nā cell i haki" i nā ʻōnaehana e manaʻo nei e hana nā mea hana ma o ka nānā ʻana i ka barcode."Pehea ʻoe e hoʻokaʻawale ai i ʻelua mau ʻāpana like ʻole ma ka mīkini hoʻokahi?"i nīnau aku ai ʻo Cupples, ʻoiai ua pane mua ʻo ia i kāna nīnau ponoʻī.I kēlā me kēia hihia, hiki i ka "wahaheʻe" i ka ʻōnaehana hoʻokele hale kūʻai (ma kēia hihia, ma ka noʻonoʻo ʻana paha i ka wā o ka nānā ʻana a i ʻole ke kākau lima lima ʻana i ka hoʻokomo lima ma hope) hiki ke pilikia.
No ka laʻana, haʻi ʻo Cupples i kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hana hou i loko o nā polokalamu ʻē aʻe: maʻalahi a wikiwiki hoʻi e hoʻoholo inā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka loaʻa ʻana mai ka manawa keu i ka uku hana.Ke hoʻohana nei i kāna ʻōnaehana ponoʻī, no nā limahana i hana maoli i 45 mau hola akā ua loaʻa ka uku o ka manawa no 5 o lākou, ʻaʻohe pono e komo i nā hola 47.5 (no laila, he 40 mau hola o ka uku maʻamau a me 5 mau hola keu).ʻO kēia no ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka ʻōnaehana i ka helu kikowaena hana ma muli o nā hola keu maoli.ʻAʻole pono e hana lima i nā kikowaena hana hou i loko o ka ʻōnaehana-e like me "OT1", "OT2", a me nā mea ʻē aʻe-e helu i nā koina o ka manawa.Pono ka mea koho e hoʻololi i hoʻokahi kahua pāpalapala a e hōʻano hou ʻia ka ʻōlelo.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Cupples, i ka wā i kūkulu mua ai ʻo ia i ka pāpalapala ʻaoʻao hoʻokahi e hoʻomaʻamaʻa a hoʻohui i nā huaʻōlelo no ka ʻoihana ʻoihana hou i kēlā manawa, ua mamao loa kēia maʻalahi.Mai ia manawa, ua hōʻoia ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana i ka kūleʻa o kāna mau ʻano.I ka manawa e kākau ai, ʻaʻole paha e loli koke kēia ala."ʻO ka hana a mākou e koi ai i nā poʻe liʻiliʻi, liʻiliʻi ka manawa, a ʻoi aku ka pololei," wahi a Cupples.
E like me ke kūlana me ka paʻi 3D papapihi, ua hoʻomohala ʻo Omax i kahi ala e hiki ai ke lawe i ka versatility, hana a me ka maʻalahi o ka ʻoki ʻana i ka waterjet i kahi ākea o nā mea hoʻohana.
