[0002] The loading of tinplate stacks is an important link in the can production line. When the tinplate stacks are not of large quality, size, and handling speed requirements, the feeding work is mainly achieved by manual or conveyor belt combined with robotic gripper loading.

[0003] However, both methods have some problems. Manual handling is inefficient, costly, and has safety risks. The feeding method of conveyor belt combined with mechanical gripper is not only expensive, but also difficult to maintain. To this end, we provide a double-gripper pneumatic robot to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a double-claw pneumatic robot, which clamps the tinplate pile through mechanical grippers and then uses a swing cylinder to drive a swing cylinder positioning plate to rotate. The swing plate rotates to cause the swing cylinder to move around the z-axis relative to the linear guide fixed plate, thereby realizing the change of various angles of the pneumatic robot's horizontal plane, solving the problems of low efficiency, high cost, and safety hazards in existing manual handling.
