Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical manufacturing technology, and in particular to a gripper for a forging line robot. Background Technology
[0002] In the forging process, it's crucial to ensure the billet is accurately placed into the first forging area before transferring it to the second forging area. Currently, it's common practice to manually use clamps to pick up the billet and place it in the first forging area. After the first forging forms the rough billet, it's then manually picked up again and transferred to the second forging area. However, since billets are typically cylindrical, a circular, mimicking clamp is needed, and the rough billet also requires a mimicking clamp. Therefore, manual clamping results in low production efficiency, and the placement of the blank is prone to deviation, leading to low material utilization and inconsistent product quality.
