Application of robot in bending machine

       In the past, the automobile industry has always been the main field of robot application. With the improvement of automation demand, the application of industrial robots has been expanded. In addition to the traditional welding application, robots have also been widely used in machine tool loading and unloading, material handling and palletizing, grinding, spraying, assembly and other fields. Metal forming machine tool is an important part of machine tools, forming processing is usually associated with high labor intensity, noise pollution, metal dust, etc., sometimes in a high temperature, high humidity and even polluted environment, the work is simple and boring, enterprise recruitment is difficult. The integration of industrial robot and forming machine tool can not only solve the problem of enterprise employment, but also improve the processing efficiency and safety, improve the processing accuracy, which has a great development space.

     Integrated application of CNC bending machine

    There are two main ways of robot bending integration application. One is the bending machine as the center, the robot is equipped with vacuum sucker, magnetic tension feeding frame, positioning platform, blanking platform and turnover frame to form bending unit. The second is the flexible processing line formed by robot and laser equipment or CNC turntable punch, industrial robot walking axis, sheet metal transmission line, positioning table, vacuum sucker gripper. By using his own technology and platform in robot control system and machine tool numerical control system, Esther realized seamless connection, developed bending software package, and realized closed-loop control of robot feeding in bending process. Under different bending speeds, the robot realizes complete tracking of automatic matching, and the bending software package also shortens the bending teaching time from the past 2-3 days to 2-3 hours. It is well used in the processing of switch cabinet, file cabinet, elevator and anti-theft door.
