The difference between three solutions for automatic upgrading of stamping production line
In the application of automatic upgrading of stamping production lines, the following three common automation solutions are generally used:
1. Swing arm type stamping manipulator
2. Articulated stamping manipulator
3. Traditional connecting rod manipulator
Among these three solutions, the swing arm stamping manipulator and the joint manipulator have high comprehensive practicability in the application of stamping automation, and are specially developed and designed manipulators according to the feeding characteristics in stamping production. Today we come to understand the swing arm type stamping manipulator, joint type stamping manipulator, link type manipulator difference in what aspects.
First of all, we simply list the difference between the three kinds of stamping manipulator
Swing arm punching manipulator: high degree of freedom, fast running speed, strong stability and low cost
Articulated stamping manipulator: high degree of freedom, moderate running speed, strong stability and high cost
Traditional link manipulator: high stability, fast running speed, low degree of freedom and moderate cost
From the performance, we can see that the swing arm stamping robot and the joint stamping manipulator can meet the requirements of various feeding processes in stamping automation production. The swing arm stamping manipulator can also perfectly adapt to various specifications and models of stamping equipment in the market and various mold process requirements in stamping production. It is the preferred solution for the automatic upgrading of traditional stamping production lines.
In the application of stamping automation, the swing arm stamping manipulator has the following advantages compared with the joint stamping manipulator and the link stamping manipulator:
1. equipment practicality
Swing arm type stamping manipulator: pneumatic, gear punching machine and hydraulic press can be connected, and there is no requirement for equipment tonnage, punching machine height and multiple combinations, thus saving 50-60% input cost in automatic upgrading of stamping production line
Articulated stamping manipulator: no high requirements for punch equipment
Traditional link manipulator: all equipment requires uniform contour
2. mold comparison
Swing arm type stamping manipulator: man-machine interface set precise positioning, suitable for all kinds of non-standard mold. The die can be raised at any angle on the punching platform. Operator can complete position selection in 3 minutes
Articulated stamping manipulator: no high requirements for mold
Traditional link type manipulator: long adjustment time. The mold height is required to be consistent, and it is necessary to ensure that the connecting mold is on the same axis.
3. Scalability Comparison
Swing arm type stamping manipulator: only need to complete the switching or reset in the man-machine interface. Flexible arrangement and adjustment of production connection scheme according to actual production needs
Articulated Stamping Manipulator: General Purpose
Traditional link type manipulator: once determined, it cannot be expanded, nor can it be changed and adjusted to the position of the production line, most of which are single fixed forms
4. operability comparison
Swing arm type stamping manipulator: can store a variety of product information, strong interchangeability, one-time setting can be used for a long time, using open programmable technology
Articulated stamping manipulator: can store a variety of product information, strong interchangeability, one-time setting can be used for a long time, using open programmable technology
Traditional connecting rod manipulator: long line change time, great influence by personnel, need to set up each machine, and then unified control, not programmable.
