Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gear processing, and in particular to an automatic loading and unloading production system for gear chamfering. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology, the requirements for gear processing are getting higher and higher. Gears often produce burrs during the processing and forming process. These burrs are a major factor affecting the accuracy of gears. Gears are often scrapped due to burrs. Burrs also make gears produce noise during use. Therefore, the edges of gears need to be chamfered during processing to reduce the generation of burrs in subsequent processing.

[0003] However, most of the general gear chamfering machines now require workers to cooperate with the loading of materials, and the gears need to be fixed on the workstation manually, which is complicated to operate and affects the processing speed. The gear chamfering work on some production lines usually chamfers the edges and corners on both sides of the gear in turn, and the processing speed is relatively slow.

[0004] In addition, for the loading and unloading of automated equipment, the earlier method adopted manual loading and unloading. At present, only some automated equipment has realized the automatic loading and unloading of a single machine through a linear mechanism (Cartesian coordinate robot), but these auxiliary equipment can only realize automatic loading and unloading on a single machine, and the transfer of workpieces between equipment still relies on manual work. The degree of automation is not high, and the entire processing link requires manual intervention. Moreover, each machine tool has its own loading and unloading device, which makes the overall cost higher, occupies a large area, and the flexibility of the machine tool is not good.
