With the continuous development of society, China's economy and science and technology have been greatly improved. Specifically, in terms of mechanized design and manufacturing, the development of various technologies has also promoted the development of the industry. Among them, automation technology is a particularly important technology. The use of mechanical manufacturing design can greatly reduce production costs and improve production efficiency. The application of this technology will greatly promote the development of the industry. And this technology should be widely used in the future.

1 mechanical design and manufacturing automation application background

1.1 Status analysis

In recent years, the machinery manufacturing industry has undergone great changes in the production mode. In the traditional practice, the production methods centered on fixed processes, fixed organizations and simple mechanical structures have been eliminated by the society and are no longer applicable to today's society. Modern science and technology, which is dominated by automation, has gradually emerged in the application and has begun to be accepted by the majority. This is required by higher-level markets and more personalized markets. In recent years, the manufacturing and design research of mechanical automation technology has been launched all over the country. However, compared with foreign developed countries, China's mechanical automation technology still has problems and deficiencies, and there is still a big gap with the level of foreign development. Especially for the product structure, intelligence level and production input still have gaps between foreign developed countries and China.

1.2 Application significance

Automation has different meanings for different industries. In the machinery industry, automation technology refers to the design and manufacture of mechanical equipment that can be standardized by pre-approved procedures with little or no human intervention. The high-tech production mode breaks the traditional production mode, greatly improves the production quality and production efficiency of machinery manufacturing, and greatly reduces the labor cost. Now our automation technology has been widely used, already in the Various industries such as transportation, inspection, equipment, manufacturing and design have developed. This technology is a necessary technology for the development of China's machinery manufacturing industry.

2 automation application examples

2.1 Application in computer integrated manufacturing system

Computer manufacturing system, that is, integrated manufacturing system. Before the development of computer integrated manufacturing technology, many auxiliary technologies have emerged in mechanical manufacturing, including quality control, testing, process planning and computer-aided technology, which can optimize the related costs in each work. However, these technologies are scattered and each is a battle. It cannot greatly improve the overall production efficiency and reduce labor costs, and the comprehensive competitiveness of mechanical design and manufacturing has not been greatly improved, so computer integrated manufacturing technology came into being. So that each individual technology can be combined to establish a large platform for information sharing and data model, coordinate each work, improve production efficiency from a global perspective, save costs, and improve overall competitiveness. In terms of technology which includes advanced design and manufacturing techniques including modern management theory, advanced materials and electronic information. The production will be regulated by the use of management theory, automation technology, sensors, computers, etc.,it regulates production. Important means to increase productivity, including special processing technology, computer-aided manufacturing technology and numerical control technology.

2.2 Flexible automated production technology

This is the first concept proposed by the United Kingdom. Through the mastery of product information, digital processing and coordination of material storage and transportation systems are used to adapt to different processing and production objects. The development of this technology relies on group technology, which refers to the arrangement of objects as needed, the selection of suitable storage and transportation systems, and the corresponding adjustments according to the destination. The information control structure of this technology is divided into The total pyramid structure uses the computer as the main control means for data management and production monitoring in production, and adjustment of the production plan. It is also responsible for grouping computers and communicating the information of the next layer to the upper layer. The interface at the lowest level of the process equipment collects and tests the production status of each production interface based on the production of the upper layer. The manual has been adjusted accordingly.Flexible automated storage and transportation systems include the transport and storage of biological materials such as processing waste, processing tools and blank workpieces.

2.3 Automatic detection in mechanical design and manufacturing applications

An important part of automation technology is the automatic detection technology, which is derived from the development of sensors and traditional instruments. In mechanical design, automatic detection techniques can be used without any manual intervention and can effectively reduce unqualified products and improve production quality.The automatic detection system is mainly composed of result output, data processing, signal conditioning and sensors, and most of them will have an information processing system to maximize the accuracy of detection.

3 conclusions

At this stage, the development level of China's machinery manufacturing industry is constantly improving, and there has been some development in the design and manufacture of machinery. Although the transformation of traditional manufacturing industry is an arduous task, it needs to be involved in the industry. Innovation and reform are carried out in all aspects, but the use of automation technology is undoubtedly a breakthrough. The use of automation technology for product development can improve design level and production efficiency, reduce costs, enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of machinery manufacturing, and enable enterprises to be in a favorable position in the market competition.A favorable position in the competition.
