Clamping system and method of anti-collision machine

Abstract

The invention provides a clamping system and a method for avoiding impacting a machine. The clamping system for avoiding impacting a machine comprises at least one clamping mechanism, an equipment controller and at least one interface terminal. The clamping mechanism is used for grabbing and shifting an object grabbed. Each clamping mechanism comprises a plurality of clamping heads and a plurality of sensors. The equipment controller is used for immediately stopping the operation of relevant equipment in a production-line when the sensors detect that the grabbed object or part of the grabbed object clamped by the clamping heads drops, so as to prevent the grabbed object or part of the grabbed object from interfering with other mechanisms to cause the impact on a machine when dropping from the clamping mechanism. Each interface terminal is corresponding to at least one sensor and is connected with the corresponding sensor; the interface terminals are connected with each other or with the equipment controller by a control and communication link bus. The clamping system and the method can effectively avoid the damage of equipment caused by the dropping of the object grabbed and grab and shift an object with damaged edge more safely.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the grabbing and transferring of products on an assembly line, in particular to an anti-collision machine clamping system and an anti-collision machine clamping method. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of the automation level in modern factories, mechanical clamping mechanisms are often used on the assembly line to complete the grasping and moving of an item. Tray is a very frequently used utensil in the factory, and it is often used to hold various items. But some items need to be kept clean when moving, so the tray needs to be cleaned before it can be used again after use. And in order to make the tray reusable, it is sometimes necessary to clean the tray. [0003] Such as figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of an existing tray cleaning method. During the cleaning process of the tray, when the tray is supplied to the first positioning mechanism 103 , the clamping mechanism 105 comes to grab the ...
