Pioneer of Automatic Intelligent China Tire Factory.
“Automation, informatization, Intellectualization, Digitalization, Visualization and Traceability”
“Achieving automatic and seamless transferring for 11 subsystems”
Using AGV "automatic guided transport vehicle" from Sweden, 3D truss robot, ABB joint robot from Switzerland and other international advanced equipment, Kunlun’s advanced logistic system by the MES system ”Manufacturing Execution System” has made all the production procedures connected seamlessly and instantly. The intelligent logistics system realizes the production of high-efficiency, fast, intelligent, and reliable process lines from automatic material requisition, fixed storage, precise transportation, and abnormal feedback.
The intelligent warehouse system has improved the storage efficiency by integrating information flow with logistics.
4 Automated Intelligent stereoscopic warehouses has effectively reduced inventory in the production process and guaranteed the quality of tire parts and semi-parts.
The first company in "full life cycle traceability" for all steel radial tire production lines - complete information traceability within 5 seconds
Kunlun Tire is a leading enterprises in the production management informationization of the tire factory.
The Tire Factory, “connects in the whole line” all equipment, robots and process flows via the “Super Brain”MES, conducts information interaction, data collection, process monitoring, and intelligent feedback throughout the entire process of each production line, to achieve all-area intelligence, all-process automation and all-round information.
Kunlun’s MES system will supervise the whole procedures from R&D, raw material selection, mixing, building, pressing and curing, QR controal, to warehousing, which practically realizing the lifecycle management for all tires.
1.Mixing
The quality of the rubber material determines 80% of the internal tire quality. Kunlun Tires introduced Japanese Kobelco BB430 high-efficiency internal mixer, using 6WI, 4WN high-efficiency shearing rotors and high-efficiency meshing rotors to comprehensively improve the quality and efficiency of rubber mixing.
2.Extrusion
Tire tread is automatically collected by a grille car and is automatically transported with AGV to prevent human error, ensure the quality of tire tread, and improve the uniformity of the tire.
3.Forming
TPRO-S Intelligent building machine - the world's highest performance intelligent building machine, which is the most important equipment to improve tire uniformity.
Tire building speed is increased by 25%-30% and the working efficiency per capita is increased by 56.5%, daily output is more than 450 pieces of tires.
Integrate building machine for bead wire- reducing the production time from 69 seconds to 23 seconds.
4.Curing
Using leading full hydraulic B-type double-mold vulcanizer, with automatic logistics system, ultra-high precision, fast loading speed, and full-process automated.
Maintenance
5.Final Inspection
Final testing
FTQ of TBR tires ≥99.80%
FTQ of OTR tires ≥99.95%
Each tire has its unique barcode “ID”, Kunlun’s PLM system can quickly trace back to the tire’s raw material information, production process, test result, logistics information, etc. on a global scale within 5 seconds.
1. X-ray machine
Kunlun tire fully automated modular x-ray inspection systems for tire quality control, the internal parts of the tire will be inspected for any underlying defects that could take place during initial use to ensure that all of the tires are structurally sound and reliable right out of production.
2. Appearance inspector
The surface of each tire will be inspected thoroughly to ensure that there are no cracks, molds or bubbles detected.
3. Uniformity tester
American Akron Uniformity tester is a fully automatic machine used for 100% tire checking in production to help ensure tire quality .
4. Dynamic balance tester
The dynamic balance test machine can accurately measure the imbalance of tires, any errors can be found and corrected in the first time, effectively improving the stability of the tires and improving work efficiency.
5. German Zeiss INTACT 1600 tire holographic non-destructive testing machine
With the shearography technology, material deformations in the micron range can be reliably detected. This ensures the high-precision quality control of new tires.
The intelligent Tire manufacturing by the tire factory will supervise the whole procedures from R&D, raw material selection, mixing, building, pressing and curing, QR control, to warehousing, which practically realizing the lifecycle management for all tires.
