Automobile industry used to be the most important field of robot application. With the increase of automation demand, the application of industrial robot has been expanded more. Besides the traditional welding application, the robot has been widely used in the fields of machine tool and material, material handling and palletizing, grinding, spraying, assembly and other fields. Metal forming machine tool is an important part of tool tool, forming process is usually associated with high labor intensity, noise pollution, metal dust and so on. Sometimes in high temperature, high humidity and even polluted environment, the work is simple and dry, and the enterprise is difficult to recruit people. The integration of industrial robot and forming machine tool can not only solve the problem of enterprise, but also improve the processing efficiency and safety, improve the processing precision, and have a great development space.

Integrated application of numerical control bending machine

There are two main ways to integrate robot bending. First, take the bending machine as the center, the robot is equipped with the vacuum sucker, and the magnetic force splitting feeding rack, the positioning platform, the cutting platform and the turning rack form a bending unit. The two is a flexible machining line formed by robot and laser equipment or CNC turntable punch, industrial robot walking shaft, board material transmission line, positioning table and vacuum sucker grab hand. Using the technology and platform of the robot control system and the machine tool CNC system, Elton realizes the seamless connection, develops the bending software package, and realizes the closed loop control of the robot's supporting material during the bending process. At different bending speeds, the robot can achieve automatic tracking. The bending software package also reduces the bending teaching time from the past 2-3 days to 2-3 hours. It is well applied in switchgear, filing cabinet, elevator, security door and so on.

Integrated application of press press

There are two main ways to integrate robotics and press stamping. The first is a single robot punching and down material: through the robot, the sheet material is moved from the dismounting table to the positioning table, and then transferred to the press die to carry out the stamping. After the stamping is finished, the robot is fed into the stacker to realize the automatic feed and down of the single press robot. The two is the robot punching connection: through multiple robots to establish a stamping connection between multiple presses. According to the processing requirements of the workpiece forming process, it is necessary to work together in a number of press machines. The whole production line is composed of a dismantling robot, a loading robot and a press machine, and a tail line robot. Compared with the manipulator with linear coordinates, the industrial robot is more flexible and easy to integrate. Through the seamless connection between the autonomous press control system and the robot control system, Elton makes the best coordination of the robot's action and press, and uses the Fieldbus to maximize the efficiency and safety of the entire production line.
