Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of laser cutting technology, specifically to a smart manufacturing production line template laser cutting equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Laser cutting technology, due to its high precision, high efficiency, and excellent flexibility, has become one of the key processes for processing template-type parts in intelligent manufacturing production lines. Existing template laser cutting equipment typically consists of a base frame, a motion system mounted on it, and a laser cutting head. The basic workflow of this type of equipment is as follows: after the manual or robotic arm loads and positions the material, the motion system drives the laser head to complete the cutting along a preset trajectory.
[0003] However, as intelligent manufacturing increasingly demands higher processing precision, automation levels, and flexible production capabilities, the aforementioned existing technologies have gradually revealed some shortcomings. Existing equipment generally lacks the ability to automatically and accurately sense the actual position and orientation of the workpiece before cutting and perform online compensation. Simultaneously, the dynamic stability control of the laser cutting head under high-speed motion is insufficient, making it susceptible to disturbances that affect cutting quality. These factors mean that the processing precision of existing equipment largely depends on the operator's experience and the precision of the tooling, making it difficult to achieve stable, efficient, and unmanned precision operation, thus becoming a bottleneck for its further application in intelligent production lines.

[0061] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, examples of which are illustrated in the drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or identical elements.
[0062] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0063] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0064] Example 1: This example provides a smart manufacturing production line template laser cutting equipment, the overall structure and workflow of which are as follows:
[0065] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The intelligent manufacturing production line template laser cutting equipment of this embodiment is mounted on a stable cutting machine platform (not shown in the figure). Its core architecture includes a base frame 1 as the basic support structure, and a cutting machine frame 2 set on the base frame 1 for performing cutting operations.
[0066] The equipment base frame 1 forms the base of the equipment, and a long, horizontal crossbeam 13 is horizontally mounted inside it. Precision linear tracks are arranged along the length of the upper surface of the crossbeam 13. A ring of frame support plates 14 is arranged around the top of the equipment base frame 1, surrounding the working area to support the structure above. An equipment base 12 is fixedly mounted at one end of the equipment base frame 1, and a hydraulic actuator 15 is installed on this base. A support frame 11 is also provided on the equipment base frame 1 at the opposite end or side of the equipment base 12. The cutting machine frame 2 is a single gantry or cantilever structure, its bottom fixedly mounted on the frame support plate 14, spanning directly above the crossbeam 13.
[0067] A precision two-dimensional motion system is integrated on the cutting frame 2 to drive the movement of the cutting execution components. This system includes a horizontal displacement component 21 and a vertical displacement component 22. The horizontal displacement component 21 is mounted on the crossbeam of the cutting frame 2, and its direction of movement is parallel to the lower horizontal platform 13. The vertical displacement component 22 is mounted on the horizontal displacement component 21 and can be moved laterally by it. Simultaneously, the vertical displacement component 22 itself can drive its supporting part to move vertically. An equipment bracket 3 is ultimately mounted on the output end of the vertical displacement component 22, thus enabling it to be precisely driven to any preset two-dimensional coordinate position above the horizontal platform 13. The equipment bracket 3 mainly houses two functional components: a laser mounting frame 4 for performing the cutting, and a front observation component 7 located in front of the laser mounting frame 4 (with its lateral movement direction as a reference).
[0068] A sliding steering clamping end support platform 8 is installed on the track of the crossbeam 13. This support platform 8 is connected to the piston rod of the hydraulic actuator 15 via a push rod connecting plate 85 at its end, allowing it to slide along the track of the crossbeam 13 under the drive of the hydraulic actuator 15. A steering clamping assembly 9 is provided on the upper part of the steering clamping end support platform 8. Meanwhile, a fixed clamping assembly 16 is installed on the support frame 11 of the equipment base frame 1. The fixed clamping assembly 16 and the steering clamping assembly 9 are arranged opposite each other along the length of the crossbeam 13, and work together to clamp and fix the long strip workpiece to be cut from both ends.
[0069] When the equipment is in operation, the operator or robotic arm first places the template workpiece to be processed on the horizontal frame 13, clamping one end of it with the fixed clamping assembly 16. Next, the hydraulic actuator 15 actuates, pushing the steering clamping end support platform 8 and its steering clamping assembly 9 towards the workpiece until the steering clamping assembly 9 reliably clamps the other end of the workpiece. At this point, the workpiece is securely clamped on the horizontal frame 13. Then, the horizontal support displacement assembly 21 and the lifting displacement assembly 22 work together to move the equipment support 3 to the processing starting point. The pre-observation assembly 7 first acquires and positions the area of the workpiece to be cut. Subsequently, the laser mounting frame 4 moves to the predetermined position, and its lower laser head emits a high-energy laser beam, cutting the workpiece according to a preset path. Throughout the cutting process, the two-dimensional motion system drives the laser mounting frame 4 to precisely follow the cutting trajectory, and the pre-observation assembly 7 can work intermittently for process monitoring. After cutting is completed, all moving parts reset, the clamping assembly releases, and the finished product can be removed.
[0070] In this embodiment, the equipment base frame 1 and the cutting frame 2 are designed separately, decoupling the load-bearing mechanism from the motion execution mechanism. This reduces the impact of the mass of moving parts on the stability of the foundation and improves the overall rigidity. A two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate motion system composed of the horizontal displacement component 21 and the lifting displacement component 22 enables rapid and precise positioning of the laser processing head at any point in the horizontal plane. The workpiece clamping system adopts a "one static, one dynamic" design. The fixed clamping component 16 provides a reference, while the rotating clamping end support platform 8, driven by hydraulic pressure, can adjust its position over a wide range to accommodate workpieces of different lengths. The rotating clamping component 9 on it also provides rotational freedom, facilitating the correction of workpiece angles or specific angle cutting. The pre-observation component 7 intervenes before cutting, achieving visual guidance positioning and ensuring subsequent precise processing.
[0071] Example 2, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment elaborates in detail on the horizontal displacement component 21, the lifting displacement component 22 and their connection structure with the equipment support 3.
[0072] The transverse displacement assembly 21 specifically includes a high-precision transverse guide rail module 211 mounted on the crossbeam of the cutting machine frame 2. This module typically includes guide rails, sliders, and built-in servo motors and ball screws. A rigid transverse panel 212 is fixedly mounted on the slider of the transverse guide rail module 211 and can reciprocate at high speed and smoothly along the X-axis direction (parallel to the crossbeam 13) with the slider. On the upper surface of the transverse panel 212, at least one displacement guide rail 213 is also mounted parallel to the direction of movement.
[0073] The main body of the lifting and displacement assembly 22 is a lifting frame body 221. The back of the lifting frame body 221 is fixedly connected to the slider or horizontal panel 212 of the horizontal guide rail module 211 via a frame box 223, thereby obtaining X-axis movement. On the back of the lifting frame body 221, a guide sliding buckle 224 matching the displacement guide slide rail 213 is also provided. The guide sliding buckle 224 engages in the displacement guide slide rail 213, so that while the lifting frame body 221 obtains X-axis drive, its back receives additional support and guidance, effectively resisting the overturning torque generated by the front load (equipment bracket 3 and laser head), ensuring smooth movement. The lifting frame body 221 integrates a vertical drive mechanism (such as another set of servo motors and ball screws), which drives a bracket lifting panel 222 to perform Z-axis lifting and lowering movement.
[0074] The equipment bracket 3 is connected to the bracket lifting panel 222 via its side lifting plate 32. Specifically, the side lifting plate 32 is slidably mounted on the bracket lifting panel 222 via a side sliding guide rail 33. This side connection method leaves ample uninterrupted working space under the front of the equipment bracket 3. A steering drive motor 35 is provided at the top of the bracket body 31 of the equipment bracket 3, which transmits power to the hoisting shaft 34 via a belt drive pulley 36 and a belt (not shown in the figure). The upper part of the laser mounting frame 4 is rotatably suspended at the bottom of the hoisting shaft 34 via bearings and other structures, so that it can rotate around the vertical axis (Y-axis) under the drive of the steering drive motor 35 to adjust the direction of laser emission.
[0075] During the positioning process, the control system sends commands simultaneously or sequentially to the drive motors within the transverse guide rail module 211 and the lifting and displacement assembly 22, based on the cutting path code. The transverse guide rail module 211 drives the entire transverse panel 212 and all components above it (including the lifting and displacement assembly 22, the equipment bracket 3, and the laser mounting frame 4) to move along the X-axis. Simultaneously or subsequently, the lifting and displacement assembly 22 drives the support lifting panel 222 to move up and down along the Z-axis, thereby adjusting the height of the equipment bracket 3 and the laser mounting frame 4. When the cutting angle needs to be adjusted, the steering drive motor 35 starts, driving the hoisting shaft 34 and the laser mounting frame 4 to rotate as a whole via belt drive, changing the orientation of the laser beam outlet 54.
[0076] Example 3 illustrates the detailed structure and function of the laser mounting bracket 4 and the laser component 5 and limiting support component 6 mounted on it.
[0077] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the main body of the laser mounting frame 4 is a main frame 41, the upper part of which is connected to the hoisting shaft 34 via a side support plate 42. At the center below the main frame 41, a laser component 5 is mounted via a mounting connector 51. The laser component 5 is the cutting energy source, its core being a laser generator 52. A cooling sleeve 53 is tightly fitted around the laser generator 52, with coolant circulating within its channels to remove the large amount of heat generated during laser operation, ensuring stable long-term operation of the laser. The bottom of the cooling sleeve 53 contracts to form a beam outlet 54 from which the laser beam generated by the laser generator 52 exits. Inside the beam outlet 54, a focusing lens 55 is installed to focus the laser beam into a small, high-energy-density spot.
[0078] On both sides of the laser component 5, two sets of identical limiting supports 6 are symmetrically installed. Each set of limiting supports 6 includes an equipment frame 62 fixed to the main frame 41 of the mounting bracket via a mounting post 61. Two core actuators are installed inside the equipment frame 62: one is a support 63 (such as a cylinder or electric cylinder), and the other is an internal thruster 68 (such as a miniature cylinder). The piston rod of the support 63 extends downwards, its end being a telescopic rod 64. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 64 is connected to a swing shaft 66 via a connector 65. The support clamp 67 is mounted on this swing shaft 66 and can swing around it. The piston rod of the internal thruster 68 is arranged horizontally or inclined, its end directly or via a connecting rod connected to the swing shaft 66. The bottom of the support clamp 67 is machined with a roller mounting groove 69, in which a low-friction sliding pad (such as a polytetrafluoroethylene or engineering plastic block) is embedded. At the front end of the main frame 41 of the mounting bracket, a front mounting plate 46 is also fixed for mounting the front observation component 7.
[0079] Before laser cutting begins, the limiting supports 6 on both sides act first. First, the support 63 pushes the telescopic rod 64 downwards, lowering the support clamps 67 until their sliding pads lightly touch or slightly press against the workpiece surface. Then, the pusher 68, acting according to a control signal, pushes or pulls the swing shaft 66, causing the support clamps 67 on both sides to swing towards or away from each other at a small angle. During cutting, the sliding pads of the support clamps 67 on both sides are in close contact with the upper surface of the workpiece. As the laser head moves, the support clamps 67 slide on the workpiece like "skis." Their main function is not clamping, but rather limiting and supporting the laser head from both sides, preventing lateral swaying or nodding when moving at high speed or encountering uneven workpieces.
[0080] This embodiment provides an active "follow-up stabilization mechanism" for a highly dynamic laser cutting head. In this design, the limiting support 6 is directly integrated into the laser mounting bracket 4, with its support point (sliding pad) very close to the laser beam's point of action. The principle is based on independently controllable support clamps 67 on both sides, maintaining a controllable contact force with the workpiece surface throughout the cutting process. The support 63 provides flexible vertical support to offset some gravity and adapt to workpiece surface undulations; the pusher 68 provides horizontal fine-tuning force to correct the relative position between the laser head and the cutting kerf, or to resist lateral disturbances. This significantly improves cutting quality. Through near-end dynamic support and limiting, high-frequency vibrations during the cutting process are effectively suppressed, resulting in a narrower, straighter cutting kerf and a smoother cross-section, especially for thin plates or intricate pattern cutting, where the improvement is particularly noticeable.
[0081] Example 4 describes the cooperative working method of the front observation component 7 and the steering clamping component 9.
[0082] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the front observation assembly 7 is mounted on the mounting plate 46 in front of the laser mounting bracket 4. It mainly consists of an industrial camera 71 and a camera lens 72, used to acquire high-resolution images of the workpiece surface. To protect the expensive camera lens 72 from dust and molten metal slag from cutting debris, a protective cover bracket 73 is specially provided at the bottom of the front mounting plate 46, on which a high-transmittance protective lens 74 is mounted, completely shielding the camera lens 72 from the working environment. The protective lens 74 is designed to be detachable or have a self-cleaning function for easy maintenance.
[0083] The steering and clamping assembly 9 is the moving end of the workpiece clamping system, and its structure is as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it is mounted on the slider platform 84 of the steering clamping end support 8. The steering clamping assembly 9 includes a servo motor 91, which is connected to a reducer 92 to increase the output torque. The output shaft of the reducer 92 is connected to the final pneumatic gripper 94 via a pneumatic transmission component 93 (a component integrating a rotary air connector and a sliding conductive ring, which can transmit air source and electrical signal while rotating). The pneumatic gripper 94 includes a gripper base 941, an internal drive piston 942, and multiple gripper fingers 944 arranged around it. The roots of the gripper fingers 944 are located in the opening and closing grooves 943 of the gripper base 941. When compressed air pushes the drive piston 942 to move, it will drive all the gripper fingers 944 to open and close radially in sync, thereby clamping or releasing the workpiece.
[0084] After the workpiece is loaded and initially fixed by the clamping assembly 16, the hydraulic actuator 15 pushes the steering clamping end support 8 to move, bringing the pneumatic gripper 94 closer to the workpiece end. At this time, the front observation assembly 7 is activated, and the industrial camera 71 takes pictures of the workpiece's clamping area and nearby positioning marks. The image processing system analyzes the pictures and accurately calculates the actual position and angle of the workpiece end. Then, the control system first drives the servo motor 91 of the steering clamping assembly 9 to rotate, which drives the entire pneumatic gripper 94 to rotate through the reducer 92 and the pneumatic transmission component 93, aligning the orientation of its gripper fingers 944 with the calculated workpiece angle. After alignment, the pneumatic gripper 94 actuates, clamping the workpiece. Simultaneously, the image data can also be used to correct the coordinate system of the entire workpiece, compensate for placement errors, and generate a corrected cutting path. During the cutting process, if the workpiece needs to be rotated at a specific angle for multi-faceted processing, the steering clamping assembly 9 can drive the clamped workpiece to rotate precisely under the drive of the servo motor 91.
[0085] This embodiment provides high-precision visual feedback. Its core technology is a closed loop between machine vision and motion control. The vision system identifies workpiece features and calculates the pose deviation (including position and angle). This deviation value serves as input to the control system, first driving the steering clamping assembly 9 to compensate for rotational direction (one-dimensional rotational degree of freedom), ensuring perfect alignment between the clamp and the workpiece, achieving "adaptive clamping" and avoiding stress or damage to the workpiece or equipment caused by forced clamping. After clamping, the visual data is further used to update the global machining coordinate system, achieving "software positioning," replacing traditional mechanical alignment, resulting in higher precision and greater flexibility. The protective lens 74 ensures long-term reliable operation of the vision system in harsh industrial environments.
[0086] The fixed clamping assembly 16 serves as the reference end for workpiece clamping. Its structure is typically more robust and simpler than the turning end. It can employ a high-force pneumatic or hydraulic vise, directly fixed to the support frame 11, providing an unshakeable reference clamping force. Several positioning blocks or adjustable limiters (not shown) may be installed on the crossbeam 13 for coarse workpiece positioning. The equipment is typically equipped with safety light curtains or protective door interlocking devices to ensure personnel cannot enter hazardous areas during operation. A laser protective cover (not shown) covers the cutting area to prevent laser radiation escape. Limit switches are installed at the extreme positions of all moving parts. The electrical cabinet integrates a central control system that coordinates and processes signals from various sensors and drives all motors, cylinders, lasers, cameras, and other actuators to operate in an orderly manner.
