A series of surface processing and detection work need to be carried out on the caliper workpiece.
[0003] The existing aluminum alloy casting automatic production line with publication number CN112122593A is driven by a manipulator to sequentially carry out cooling, vibration shakeout, cutting and other pre-processing, and then the workpiece is placed into a shot blasting machine for surface burr removal processing, and then the workpiece is detected.
[0004] For the related technology in the above, the manipulator drives the workpiece to move for processing of several processes, which is more suitable for large-volume castings, while for small-volume and large-quantity workpieces such as calipers, using a manipulator to sequentially process and detect the surface is too low in processing efficiency.
