Each chain plate is provided with POM engineering plastic to prevent surface wear of the product. The two ends of the aluminum profile are synchronously conveyed by the two sets of conveyor lines to make the conveying more stable. The length range of the applicable product is 3000-6000mm. It should be noted that every 13 chain plates are installed with a material dividing angle iron. The interval between each two sets of material angle irons is a product conveying station, and each conveying station can only place one product; further, the double-track conveyor line is intermittently operated, and a There is a sensor, each time the material distribution angle iron passes over the sensor, it can be detected, and the start and stop of the motor is controlled by signal transmission, thereby completing the gap feeding of the product; in the present embodiment, there are three sets of feeding jacking roller modules 12, two of which are respectively installed on the ends of the corresponding lines, and one set is arranged in the middle of the double-track line. After the product runs from the double-track conveyor line to the feeding jacking roller module 12, the line stops running through the sensor induction, and the feeding jacking roller module 12 rises at the same time, and the product is lifted up and leaves the conveyor line, and then the roller line starts running, and the product is transported horizontally to the feeding turning module 13; in the present embodiment, there are three sets of feeding turning modules 13, after receiving the aluminum profiles conveyed by the feeding jacking roller module 12, they are first clamped and then driven by the cylinder to realize 90° turning of the product, and finally wait for the truss unit 8 to pick up the material.

[0038] The cutting unit 2 includes a plurality of jigs 21, a robot cutting module 22 and a chip removal module 23. The plurality of jigs 21 are arranged side by side, the robot cutting module 22 is arranged on one side of the jig 21, and the chip removal module 23 is arranged below the jig 21.

[0052] Working principle of the present invention:

[0053] During production, the aluminum profile is manually loaded to the loading line system unit 1, and the loading conveyor line 11 conveys the aluminum profile to the loading jacking module. After the loading jacking module is lifted, the aluminum profile is conveyed to the loading flipping module 13. The loading flipping module 13 flips the aluminum profile 90 degrees. The truss unit 8 clamps the flipped aluminum profile and conveys it to the cutting unit 2. The tooling fixture 21 undertakes the clamping, and then the robot cutting module 22 cuts the aluminum profile to form a semi-finished product. The semi-finished product is clamped by the truss unit 8 and conveyed to the semi-finished product cache unit 3. After the cache jacking module 32 receives the semi-finished product, it is transported to the position of the corresponding clamping module 33 through the ground rail conveying module 31, and the semi-finished product is clamped and cached. Then it is clamped and transported to the corresponding CNC machining center through the truss unit 8 for processing to form a finished product. The finished product is clamped and transported to the unloading line system unit 5 through the truss unit 8. After the unloading jacking module 52 receives the finished product, it cooperates with the unloading flipping module 53 to flip the finished product, and finally lowers the height so that the finished product contacts the unloading conveying line 51 for transportation, and finally completes the production through manual unloading.
