1 Answers
Ford's assembly line production has significant conveying capacity, long transportation distance, and can also complete several process operations simultaneously during the conveying process. Introduction to assembly lines: Production assembly lines are continuous conveying machinery for goods transportation on certain routes, also known as conveying lines or conveyors. According to the series of conveying products, they can be roughly divided into five types: plate chain lines, multiple chain lines, plug-in lines, mesh belt lines, and suspension lines. Generally, they include traction parts, load-bearing components, driving devices, tensioning devices, redirecting devices, and supporting parts. Assembly lines have large conveying capacity and long transportation distance, and can also complete several process operations simultaneously during the conveying process, so they are widely used. Ford Motor Company: Henry Ford founded Ford Motor Company in 1903. In 1908, the company produced the world's first Model T car. In 1913, the company developed the world's first assembly line, creating a world record that remains unbroken to this day.
