Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of mechanical technology, and relates to equipment for fully automatically conveying material trays and products, in particular to an automatic material moving device and coding equipment for multi-specification knives. Background Art

[0002] With the development of manufacturing industry, especially in the field of high-precision tool manufacturing and processing, accurate handling and fast coding of tools have become the key to improving competitiveness. However, when handling multi-specification tools, there are a series of specific problems:

[0003] 1. Inefficiency and high error rate of manual operation: In the current process, operators need to manually identify the tool diameter, which is prone to errors. Human errors may lead to incorrect code input, thus affecting the quality of the final product. In addition, manual operation is complex and repetitive, which can easily cause operator fatigue and further increase the possibility of errors.

[0004] 2. Multiple problems caused by grinding old QR codes: The grinding process itself is a delicate and error-prone process. In the process of manually grinding old QR codes, it is very easy to cause the tail of the tool to be rough, which not only affects the appearance of the tool, but may also affect the quality of the secondary engraving. The rough tail may cause the laser engraving machine to be unable to accurately or clearly burn the new QR code and material number, affecting the recognition efficiency.

[0005] 3. Work environment issues: Traditional grinding and coding processes generate a lot of dust, which poses a potential threat to the health of operators and increases the difficulty of maintenance in the workplace. Dust particles may invade mechanical equipment, causing equipment failures and increasing maintenance costs;

[0006] 4. Efficiency problem: The efficiency of manual grinding and transfer is extremely low. Each operation consumes a lot of time and labor, which is unacceptable in large-scale production. Low efficiency directly leads to a decline in production capacity, affecting the company's order delivery ability and market competitiveness.
