AI Technical Summary
Existing three-axis robots cannot directly remove the sprue from the mold because the sprue interferes with the steel material, causing the mold to be pressed and unable to meet the needs of complex molds.
A horizontal arm robot was designed, including a servo transfer mechanism, a cylinder transfer mechanism, a flipping mechanism, and a gripping mechanism. Through the coordinated work of these mechanisms, it can enter the mold to grip the sprue and avoid interference between the sprue and the steel material.
It enables effective gripping of sprues in complex molds, preventing sprues from falling freely off the mold and getting caught on the steel, thus overcoming the shortcomings of three-axis robotic arms that cannot remove them.
