AUTOMATION AND INTEGRATION OF CUTTING AND STITCHING WORKSHOPS IN A FLEXIBLE SHOE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM

Objective


This project, to set up a flexible shoe manufacturing system for cutting and stitching workshops, terminated in research models and prototypes which are installed in a test workshop at an experimental site PAIC-A, in Bordeaux, France. Connected with a water jet cutting machine (4 workstations), these experimental prototypes are:
leather pieces conditioner (container and board);
removal system of cut pieces with piece grip mechanism;
board piece conditioning system;
conveying system of containers;
automatic feeding of stitching work station;
pieces superposition workstation.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO SET UP A FLEXIBLE SHOE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM FOR CUTTING AND STITCHING WORKSHOPS. IT USES AND IMPROVES UPON EXISTING STATE-OF-THE-ART PROCESSES AND TECHNIQUES, ITS MODULES ADAPTED TO SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZE SHOE COMPANIES.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS ARE INCLUDED: REMOVAL OF CUT PARTS FROM THE CUTTING WORKSHOP (WATER JET CUTTING), STORAGE OF PARTS IN CONTAINERS, AUTOMATIC CONTAINER CIRCULATION AND DISTRIBUTION TO STITCHING STANDS, AUTOMATIC SUPPLY OF AUTOMATED STANDS THANKS TO MARKINGS ON THE CUT PARTS, REAL-TIME CONTROL OF THE MACHINES IN THE CUTTING AND STITCHING WORKSHOPS.

AN IN-DEPTH PARTS PACKAGING STUDY SHOULD REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE BATCHES HANDLED, PERMITTING FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION CONTROL IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE TIME INVOLVED IN LAUNCHING NEW MODELS AND COMPLETING CURRENT PRODUCTS.

THIS PROJECT WILL TERMINATE IN RESEARCH MODELS AND PROTOTYPES WHICH WILL BE INSTALLED IN A TEST WORKSHOP AT AN INDUSTRIAL SITE BELONGING TO THE IMBERT COMPANY.
