This month, the cabinet welding robot system of the high-speed ironer customized for CLM has been officially put into operation. The successful introduction of this robot means a solid step forward for CLM in the intelligent manufacturing of laundry equipment. This welding robot has not only optimized the production process but also achieved breakthroughs in three aspects: cost, efficiency, and quality. The labor allocation for this position has been reduced from 4 workers to 1.5 workers, greatly lowering labor costs. While streamlining personnel, the output has doubled, truly realizing “staff reduction and efficiency improvement”.
This is attributed to the high degree of automation and precision of this welding robot system. The entire set of equipment has two major parts that work in synergy: a pneumatic tooling for welding assembly and the welding robot. Among them, the pneumatic tooling ensures strict control over the tolerance of each cabinet during the splicing stage. Subsequently, the welding robot takes charge of cabinet welding. A welding program controls the welding process. This avoids missing welds and insufficient welds, ensures consistent length of each weld bead, neat weld formation, uniform weld fillet size, and consistent weld penetration depth. It also improves the strength and reliability of welded joints, and the ironer’s structure will become more stable and durable.
Currently, China’s manufacturing industry is moving toward intelligence and minimal staffing. With the rapid development of technology, we are replacing manual positions that are highly repetitive, labor-intensive, or require strict precision with intelligent manufacturing equipment. This not only effectively addresses the rising labor costs but also significantly improves product precision and ensures long-term stability of product quality. Currently, on CLM’s production lines, in addition to the high-speed ironer cabinets, core key components such as the inner drums of CLM tunnel washers and the outer cylinders of industrial washing machines have all adopted robotic welding. The total number of personnel in relevant positions has been reduced from 20 to 10, while output has doubled. Moreover, robotic welding is comprehensively superior to manual welding in terms of weld strength and appearance, further enhancing the overall stability, reliability, and brand consistency of the equipment produced by CLM.
As an intelligent laundry factory system integrator, CLM has always closely followed the development of AI technology and unswervingly advanced the intelligent and digital transformation of factories. From intelligent sheet metal warehouses and welding robots to intelligent automated warehouses, and further to the full paperless transformation of office and production management, we continuously explore ways to achieve higher work efficiency, better product quality, and faster market response speed with less human input.
Laundry factories, as a traditional labor-intensive business, are currently facing the dual challenges of rising labor costs and insufficient supply of young labor. In the future, this industry will inevitably gradually move toward intelligence, minimal staffing, and even unmanned operations. By introducing intelligent laundry equipment, logistics systems, and central control systems, we can replace repetitive manual labor with technological intelligence. CLM will continue to pursue innovation and technological upgrading, and work with the global laundry industry to accelerate the transition to a new stage of intelligence and unmanned operations.
