There are several undeniable advantages of manufacturing LED lamps. Firstly, the start does not require large investments, and secondly, the production line is relatively oversized and does not require the rental of large premises. However, despite these advantages, there are a lot of nuances, for example, it is extremely important to make the right choice of equipment for the production of LED lamps, because it is the technology that will determine the performance and quality of products.
Some general information
You are wondering why it is beneficial to produce LEDs? The answer is extremely simple. These are not only efficient light sources, but also economical, which is extremely important at high electricity prices. In addition, they lack any toxins, such as mercury.
I also have to say that LED lamps are low-voltage, this allows us to expand our product range and produce products suitable for almost any light source. But pay attention to the fact that the production of LED lamps in Russia is not as simple as it might seem at first glance.
Firstly, all standards must be respected, and secondly, it is necessary to attract qualified personnel who will work for quality. Let's see what equipment you need to buy in order to open a business in this area.
Selection of equipment for the production of LED lighting
As already noted above, the production line is not very overall. This is especially true of mini-production. First of all, you will need to purchase a certain number of tables that are equipped with everything necessary for the assembly of lamps.
You will need such a tool as a soldering iron, and consumables for it (tin, rosin). Without fail, fans are installed for cooling. Another main unit is a stand on which the quality of the product will be checked.
The so-called constellator is also used - a machine that is not required, but its presence will increase productivity tenfold. It is needed for placement on the circuit board (driver) chips.
It should be noted that the production of cases for LED lamps can be carried out manually or on an automated line. In the first case, more personnel will be needed, in the second - laser and foundry machines.
Accessories for the production of LED lighting
Of course, without the necessary details, you will not collect anything. Let's look at what is needed for lamp production. First you need to buy aluminum boards, which are of various types: single-layer and multi-layer.
You can use other materials, but aluminum is good in that it quickly removes heat to the environment, and this increases the life of the lamp. You will also need an aluminum profile. It is used for mounting LED strips and allows you to give the lighting a certain direction.
It is also very important to have high-quality drivers for matrixes and LEDs. The former will provide reliable and stable power to the device, while the latter are needed to increase the service life of the products. Of course, another important component is the case.The main requirements for these products are strength, durability and ease of installation.
About what equipment is needed for the manufacture of cases
If you plan to create a full-cycle production, then you will need more equipment. This is due to the manufacture of the housing on its own production line. Therefore, you will need to purchase several stamping plants and bulb domes, as well as a device for pulling glass products.
Since the ends of the tubes used in the housing do not always have the proper shape, they need to be leveled and straightened, and for this a special machine is needed. It is better to have a gas furnace, in which the future building will be melted.
A special conveyor with a function of blowing air is installed behind it. Of course, you can save if you buy not new, but used equipment. There are pros and cons, but this is a separate issue. In any case, the production of housings for LED lighting requires expensive equipment.
A few important points
It is worth paying attention to the fact that a lot depends on the performance of the units of the technological line. If you plan to make 1,000 lamps per shift, then such equipment can be bought quite cheaply. If this is 10,000 units per working day, then such machines will cost much more.
For example, the characteristics of LED lamps will directly depend on the selected devices, that is, their size or power will be limited. But if you are going to sell products for some kind of narrow specialization, then you have to deal with the manufacture of a certain type of lamp specifically for this area of activity.
Another important point is that most of the work is done manually. Machines make cases, apply microcircuits to boards, but soldering is already the work of your staff. Accordingly, the more lamps you produce per day, the more people need to be recruited.
Conclusion
The bulk of your costs will comprise the units of the production line and components, which will need a lot, especially in the first stage. As for the remaining issues, that is, rental of premises and staff salaries, much depends on the chosen region, because the prices are always different.
If you plan to make the choice of equipment for the production of LED lamps from second-hand, then you will not receive any guarantees. If you buy new units, then for several years they will definitely work without fail. The payback of a business can be different, on average this period is from a year to two years.
The main thing is to find a point of sale and make a quality product, and then there should be no problems. Gradually, you can increase the capacity of your plant and make it more productive by purchasing modern equipment. Now you know how to make the right choice of equipment for the production of LED lamps.
