Drilling & Sorting Integrated Production Line

Project Overview:

This project is specifically designed for panel furniture manufacturers focused on batch-one and mass-customized production. It covers two core automation scenarios, balancing high-efficiency, end-to-end operations with effective cost control.

The batch processing section operates through a fully synchronized automated workflow:

• Industrial robots perform full-layer gripping for automatic loading
• Panels are separated and fed individually by a panel separating machine
• A double-end edge banding machine completes edge banding on both short sides
• Panels are routed via two parallel paths to drilling machines for efficient drilling
• A panel assembling (grouping) machine organizes panels into sets
• Robots grip each completed set and carry out automatic palletizing

This configuration enables standardized, unmanned operation from loading to palletizing.

The drilling and sorting section is equipped with:

• 3 dual-station six-side drilling machines
• 1 single-station six-side drilling machine

After drilling, panels are accurately sorted by a robotic sorting system. Panels are then manually stacked into packages, with package information scanned and transmitted to a carton cutting machine to produce customized cartons. Following manual carton feeding, corner protectors, and packaging materials placement, cartons are sealed by a carton sealing machine, and manually palletized to complete the full packaging workflow.

The project integrates a comprehensive automation system, including:

• Six-side drilling integrated lines
• Robotic sorting systems
• Packaging systems
• Panel separating machines
• Double-end edge banding machines
• Panel assembling machines

This solution significantly reduces labor intensity while delivering capacity improvement, cost reduction, and improved working conditions. It is well-suited for large-scale, automated panel furniture production and supports rapid return on investment.

This drilling and sorting integrated solution enables panel furniture manufacturers to efficiently handle mass customization while maintaining stable output and long-term economic benefits.
