Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of precision engraving machine positioning, in particular to a positioning mechanism for a precision engraving machine. Background Art

[0002] Precision engraving machine is a kind of CNC machine tool. Metal precision engraving machine can perform non-contact cutting and punching on metal or non-metallic plates and pipes. It is particularly suitable for laser cutting of stainless steel plates, iron plates, silicon wafers, ceramic sheets, titanium alloys, epoxy, A3 steel, diamond and other materials. In the process of processing, manipulators are often used for automatic loading and unloading to improve efficiency and reduce costs. However, the positioning accuracy of manipulators is far inferior to that of manual labor. Therefore, it is necessary to position the workpiece before processing.

[0003] For example, the Chinese patent announcement number CN212046639U discloses a positioning mechanism for a glass engraving machine, which includes a workbench, a guide rail pair, a linkage unit, and at least two angle components. The workbench has at least two stations for placing workpieces. The guide rail pair is arranged below the workbench, including at least two parallel guide rails, each guide rail is equipped with at least one slider, and the slider is nested and slid on the guide rail. The linkage unit includes a sliding plate and a side moving plate, the sliding plate is fixedly connected to the side moving plate, and the sliding plate is fixedly connected to the slider. At least two angle components are fixedly installed on the side moving plate and are arranged above the workbench, wherein for the workpieces at the same station on the workbench, only one angle component can be moved along the guide rail pair to position the corresponding workpiece on the workbench. In this way, the positioning mechanism of the utility model can quickly and accurately position multiple workpieces.
