Guokun Wang, Xianqing Xiong, Sijie Fu, Mei Zhang, Lujie Yang
TL;DR
This paper introduces a practical method to improve drilling efficiency in panel furniture manufacturing, especially for large-scale customized production.
Contribution
The novel contribution is a set of strategies using flipping, slot extension, and hole-slot logic transformation to address drilling challenges.
Findings
The optimization method was applicable to 42.30% of parts previously limited by low slotting efficiency.
Drilling efficiency increased by 56.01% for panels with long idle processing times.
Abstract
Drilling is one of the most complex processes in the manufacturing of panel-type furniture and has a significant impact on both production efficiency and takt-time stability. With the growing demand for large-scale customized furniture, the complexity of drilling operations has increased substantially. Moreover, variations in equipment capabilities further hinder the automation and standardization of this process. In this technical note, we ad-dress three common challenges in the drilling process of panel furniture: the inability to process horizontal holes located on fixed reference edges, low slotting efficiency, and pro-longed idle time of drilling equipment. To resolve these issues, we propose a set of strategies based on flipping, slot extension, and hole-slot logic transformation. The proposed methods have been successfully implemented in a large-scale customized panel furniture…
