Considering the economic practicality of CNC bending machine with automatic feeding and bending robot, as well as strict cost control of the entire automation transformation project, Dongzhili Heng has comprehensively assessed the matching of the robot arm's range of motion and the size of the operating range, the weight of the gripper and the deviation of the center of gravity after gripping the metal tube, and the attenuation curve of the effective payload of the robot end. They have summarized several advantages of the bending workstation.
The effectiveness of the automated bending machine production line after the transformation:
1. High productivity and efficiency:
Like many automation systems, articulated robots have made compelling contributions to improving the bending efficiency of factories. They solve the labor intensity and safety risks of manual operations. Moreover, their ability to work continuously for 24 hours without fatigue is unparalleled.
2. High flexibility and stability:
Articulated robots, controlled by computer systems and featuring convenient programming operations similar to CNC, come with a multifunctional ergonomic teach pendant. Factory equipment engineers can quickly switch programs to adapt to new products using the teach pendant.
3. High quality and consistency:
High repeatability accuracy and an average fault-free interval of 75,000+ hours have gained widespread market recognition in accordance with international technical standards.
Three development trends of CNC bending machine systems:
1. High precision, high speed, and high efficiency:
Power and quality are key performance indicators of advanced manufacturing skills and the mainstay of advanced manufacturing skills. By using high-speed CPU chips, RISC chips, multi-CPU control systems, high-resolution detection devices, communication digital servo systems, matched electric spindles, linear motors, and other technologies, power can be greatly improved. This improves product quality and levels, shortens production cycles, and enhances market competitiveness. In the coming years, ultra-precision CNC bending punch presses are developing towards refinement, high speed, intelligence, and nanotechnology, forming a new generation of CNC bending machine tools.
2. Flexibility:
CNC bending machine systems adopt a new generation of modular design, with a wider range of functions and stronger reliability, satisfying the needs of different users. The same group control system can dynamically adjust the flow of information according to different production processes, exerting the functions of the group control system.
3. Multi-axis capability:
With multi-axis coordinated processing, after clamping the workpiece on a CNC bending machine tool, it can perform operations such as automatic tool change, rotating the spindle head, and rotating the worktable. This achieves composite processing of multiple processes and multiple surfaces, resulting in not only high smoothness but also significantly improved power.
4. Openness of software and hardware:
Users can conduct secondary development of the software of the CNC bending machine system according to their own needs, and their application scope is no longer restricted by the manufacturer.
5. Intelligence:
In the field of CNC bending machine technology, research and application of real-time intelligent control are advancing in areas such as adaptive control, fuzzy control, neural network control, expert control, learning control, and feedforward control.
