Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to aluminum plate stacking processing, in particular to a parallel gripping device for plate materials. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum plate refers to a rectangular plate made by rolling aluminum ingots. It is divided into pure aluminum plate, alloy aluminum plate, thin aluminum plate, medium and thick aluminum plate, and patterned aluminum plate. The shapes of aluminum plates in the actual processing process are various.

[0003] After extensive searching, I found the Chinese patent publication number CN220316542U, which discloses a pneumatic clamping mechanism suitable for stacking aluminum plates. The mechanism includes two support beams arranged in parallel along the Y-axis direction, two mounting beams arranged in parallel along the X-axis direction are installed at the top between the two support beams, a mounting top frame is installed at the top between the two mounting beams, and two mounting beams arranged in parallel along the X-axis direction are installed at the bottom between the support beams. Several suction cup clamping mechanisms are evenly fixed and installed along the Y-axis at the bottom of the mounting beam on the negative side of the X-axis. A lifting cylinder is installed near the middle of the bottom of the mounting beam on the positive side of the X-axis along the Y-axis direction, and a lifting cylinder is installed on the cylinder frame.
