In the wave of transformation of garment intelligent manufacturing, the automatic aligner machine has become the core equipment in the production of small apparel accessories such as buttons and patches by virtue of its highly intelligent and precise characteristics. When buttons or decorative patches of different colors and shapes are poured into the special fixture plate at will, the automatic parts aligner immediately starts a precise automatic process. The main machine of the parts aligner drives the multi-dimensional vibration mechanism through the servo motor and completes the front and rear high-frequency vibration and left and right swing adjustment under precise control. This process is like conducting a delicate mechanical dance: the tiny parts are continuously displaced on the fixture plate and gradually arranged in an orderly manner through the coordinated operation of special guide troughs, limit baffles and sensor matrices. If the equipment is equipped with an industrial-grade visual recognition system for image capture, the deep learning algorithm is used to accurately distinguish the concave and convex surface of the button and the pattern direction of the patch, and the accessories that do not meet the arrangement requirements are immediately rejected through the pneumatic sorting device.

  The main control unit of the equipment adopts PLC system and supports the visual programming interface. The operator only needs to preset the arrangement pattern, orientation parameters and tact time on the touch screen, and the system can generate the optimal arrangement plan independently. In the actual application of a fast fashion brand’s production workshop, the equipment can process more than 5,000 buttons per hour, with an efficiency equivalent to the sum of 5-6 skilled workers, and the arrangement accuracy is as high as 99%. In addition, the parts aligner also has the function of quick switching of multi-specification fixture plates, which can seamlessly adapt to more than ten kinds of common clothing accessories such as round buttons and special-shaped patches, which effectively solves the industry pain points of low efficiency, large error and high cost of traditional manual sorting, and provides reliable technical support for flexible production of clothing.
