Under the background of labor shortage and labor cost increase, manufacturing enterprises are willing to replace labor with industrial robots, which brings "spring" to the upstream robot manufacturing industry. The robot system integration feels that each CNC machine tool manipulator is making the workshop "sparsely populated", and a loading and unloading manipulator is making the loading and unloading work between the plants become orderly.

For the integration of loading and unloading robots of CNC machine tools, the standard articulated 6-axis robot produced by modern heavy industry is mainly used to meet the needs of customers. The articulated robot has a high degree of freedom, 6 axes, and is suitable for almost any trajectory or angle of work. An automatic processing unit can be formed by using a standard joint robot and a feeding device. One robot can serve the loading and unloading of various types of processing equipment, thus saving the cost of automation.

Some articulated robots can be equipped with a built-in vision system. For some special products, visual recognition devices can also be added to automatically identify and judge the placement position, phase, front and back sides of the workpiece, and perform corresponding actions according to the results to achieve intelligent automatic production. Besides clamping the workpiece, the robot can also perform cleaning, drying, inspection and deburring of the workpiece, The utilization rate of the robot is greatly improved.

The commonly used CNC machine tool robot also has a three-axis truss robot, which has the characteristics of high reliability, high speed, high precision, flexibility and multi-function. However, its working behavior is mainly to complete linear movement along the X, Y, Z axis, so it can not meet the requirements of loading and unloading of workpieces with special requirements for placement position, phase, etc. At the same time, if the truss type robot is used for loading and unloading, there are certain requirements for the height of the plant, and the machine tools and equipment should be arranged in parallel.

The automated assembly line tells you that in the process of integrated service of the loading and unloading robot of the machine tool, you will select a suitable standard joint robot or truss manipulator according to the complexity, processing procedure, weight, material, size, output and other processing requirements of the customer's processing workpiece, as well as the existing workshop conditions, investment budget, delivery date and other conditions of the enterprise.
