Abstract:To solve the problem of automatic stamping production in minor enterprises,according to the production characteristics of the automobile panels processed in a factory,for large straight side press,a set of automatic loading and unloading system was developed,realizing automatic production of single machine.The system consisted of a stacking and picking manipulator, a central platform, a truss loading and unloading manipulator and a press,suitable for a wide variety of small batch production.It could effectively improve the processing quality of stamping parts and save the processing cost.After testing,the system can realize automatic production of sheet metal of any size with 500~1 600 mm in length,500~1 200 mm in width and 0.2~3 mm in thickness.The single cycle time of the system is 12 s,the production requirements have been met.The system is easy to operate, flexible, economical, stable and reliable.
