An automated sheet metal bending production line

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic metal plate bending production line. The automatic metal plate bending production line comprises a linear sliding rail, a sliding block, a rotary support, a big arm joint, a small arm joint, a gripper, a plurality of fingers, clamps, a blank storage rack, a finished product rack and a bending machine. The linear sliding rail is arranged on the bending inlet side of the bending machine and is parallel to a bending inlet of the bending machine. The blank storage rack and the finished product rack are arranged on the outer side of the linear sliding rail. Thepositions and numbers of the blank storage rack and the finished product rack can be changed, and thus, full-automatic bending without manual intervention is achieved. The gripper is linear. The middle of the rear end of the gripper is hinged to the front end of the small arm joint through a fourth shaft. The fingers are arranged at the front end of the gripper. The bottom of each finger is directly or indirectly connected with the gripper. Each finger forms a fifth shaft. The top of each fifth shaft is provided with one clamp capable of clamping a metal plate. By adoption of the automatic metal plate bending production line, automatic bending of a plurality of metal plates is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of sheet metal processing, in particular to an automatic sheet metal bending production line. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in the field of sheet metal processing, the application of automated processing technology has gradually become popular. The core technology of sheet metal processing automation lies in the automation of sheet bending. Especially for the processing of large-sized and heavy parts, the labor intensity of the workers is high. Usually, two or even several operators are required to complete the processing. The labor intensity is high and the working environment is harsh. The automation solution for plate bending has become the consensus of the industry, with huge market potential and development space. [0003] At present, there are two main solutions for plate bending automation. [0004] 1. Adopt a 6-joint general-purpose robot. For details, refer to the Chinese invention patent ...

Problems solved by technology

However, the disadvantages are also very obvious: large structural size, large footprint, slow speed, and inflexibility

[0007] Both of the above two sheet bending automation solutions have the following defects: the axes of the two ends of the wrist joint intersect at one point, which is mainly to facilitate the solution of kinematic equations

In addition, it is suitable for bending large-sized workpieces. The bending of small-sized workpieces is easy to interfere with the bending machine. It is completely unsuitable for bending small-sized workpieces and can only process a single workpiece, and cannot complete the processing of multiple workpieces at the same time.
