Do you understand the modular design?

The modular design began in the 1950s. Advocate suggests that this theory is based on green environmental protection.

Let's talk about what is a modular design. In the machine tool industry, the machine to maintain the original basic functions under the premise of the same, through the installation of different accessories and institutions to achieve different functions. List a practical example of Smithy. Through the main body of the lathe to install the drilling machine to achieve the milling and drilling function; can also be installed in the lathe small milling machine, by moving the lathe vertical and horizontal trays to achieve the function of milling.

There are also companies through the installation of simple grinding wheel to achieve the function of turning milling. This also gives some of the current turning and milling compound center, CNC machine tools to provide a theoretical basis. And the different combinations on the machine to achieve different functions.

This modular design must be to change the small parts or change the secondary components to achieve different structures and functions. Such as the X6336WA milling machine and the LM1450A universal milling machine. X6336WA is a vertical turret milling machine, it was also called universal milling machine. It has vertical milling and horizontal milling function, the use of milling head can be achieved drilling, milling, tapping and other functions. We do not change its basic structure, such as the base, lift, slide, table, bed, etc. These are the same. We can only convert from a turret milling machine into a universal milling machine by simply changing the boom.

You can also achieve different performance by placing a component in a different location. Designers must know the premise is to change the small change, change the secondary does not change the main, we must do uniform workpieces uniform, assembly size and structure size should be unified. This also provides convenience for production and processing. For the organization to improve production efficiency, save inventory, reduce consumption, quickly meet customer requirements for different products.
