[0022] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-station robot plasma cutting system with automatic loading and unloading, comprising a cutting table 1 and a cutting rotary platform 2. In this embodiment, a grid 11 is installed on the top of the cutting table 1 for placing the workpiece 76 to be cut. The grid 11 is set to collect the debris generated during the plasma cutting process to prevent the debris from remaining on the cutting table 1 and affecting the accuracy of subsequent cutting operations. The cutting table 1 is located on one side of the cutting rotary platform 2. A plasma cutting mechanism for cutting operations is set on one side of the table 1 and the cutting rotary platform 2. The cutting table 1 is placed adjacent to the cutting rotary platform 2, so that the translation slide 3 can cut the workpiece on the cutting table 1 and the workpiece on the cutting rotary platform 2. A workpiece grabbing mechanism for carrying the workpiece to be cut is set on one side of the cutting table 1. A loading platform 75 and a unloading platform 74 for placing the workpiece are respectively set on one side of the workpiece grabbing mechanism. Through such a setting, it is convenient for the workpiece grabbing mechanism to carry the workpiece between the loading platform 75, the unloading platform 74 and the cutting table 1 when in use.
