Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is oriented to the technical field of punching equipment for personalized and customized automobile panels, and in particular relates to a robot punching system for automobile panels, and also relates to a punching method using the above-mentioned punching system. Background technique [0002] At present, many foreign auto companies have realized customized production and sales, but customized production and sales are still in their infancy in China. With the increasing popularity of family cars and the formation of car culture, consumers' personalized demand for car products is showing a rapid growth trend. In the development process of personalized customization of automobile products, personalized parts are mainly installed on the car body, and different mounting holes need to be added on the car cover. At present, the hole making of traditional body panels is completed in the punching process through punching dies. If molds ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The drilling and milling method is easy to produce burrs and edges, laser cutting and plasma cutting are expensive and will also produce edges, so these methods have no advantage in hole quality compared with traditional punching methods

However, the current punching method mainly stays at the stage of special purpose, which is characterized by high efficiency and is suitable for mass production; the disadvantage is poor adaptability, and the cost of realizing diversified production is huge

[0004] In this context, we propose to combine the punching device as an end effector with an industrial robot to develop a flexible punching robot system for personalized customization of automotive panels. This idea has not been reported in the literature.
