Based on the industrial multistation step feeding of the forging and pressing of articulated robot method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of multistation step feeding method, the industrial multistation step feeding of especially a kind of forging and pressing based on articulated robot method belongs to metal forming machinery automated assembly technology field.
Background technology
In world's forging industry, production efficiency has been the central factor of market competitiveness of enterprises at present, in order to enhance productivity, adopts the automation multistation forging and pressing mode of production of step mechanical gearing mechanism hand (claiming the step rate manipulator again) feeding to be used widely.The automation multistation stamping line in fields such as more and more automobiles, space flight and aviation, machinery; Adopt step mechanical gearing mechanism hand conveying workpieces between a plurality of forming stations; Realize that the one stroke of same forcing press accomplishes the multiple tracks forming process simultaneously, production efficiency is greatly improved.In the automatic heat-transmission finish forge production process of automobile synchronizer bevel gear, be applied as example with the step mechanical gearing mechanism hand: initial bar is heated to initial forging temperature through induction heater; Deliver to the hotdie forging press precalculated position by conveyer belt; On two beam shape arms of step mechanical gearing mechanism hand by feeding work step distance be furnished with the 1st to the 4th totally 4 folders grab; The 1st folder by the step mechanical gearing mechanism hand grabbed the hot bar of clamping, is placed on the jumping-up station of forcing press, meanwhile; The the 2nd, 3 folder of step mechanical gearing mechanism hand grabbed the forging of the corresponding last station of clamping; Be placed on blocking tooth base, the finish-forging profile of tooth station and form, the 4th folder grabbed the final forging finished product clamping on the finish-forging profile of tooth station is placed on the conveyer belt that is connected to hopper, and above-mentioned action is accomplished in the one stroke process of same forcing press simultaneously.This step mechanical gearing mechanism hand generally is divided into three kinds of mechanically driver type, hydraulic drive type and servo driven types, and the standard that almost becomes multistation drop press in the world or multistation metal extrusion press at present is equipped with.Mechanically driver type step mechanical gearing mechanism hand is provided through the leverage transmission mechanism by the crank of forcing press; The step rate two ends are installed on the heel post of forcing press; Its advantage be simple in structure, pushing precision is high, energy consumption is low; Shortcoming is that the feeding step pitch of its X, Y, three directions of Z is almost fixing non-adjustable, and the working time reduces because of wearing and tearing cause pushing precision long afterwards easily; The hydraulic drive type step rate adopts hydraulic-driven; Drive part is in forcing press side window mouth both sides, and advantage is that power separates with forcing press, and shortcoming is the hydraulic work system less stable; Response speed is slower; And the seal easy oil leakage, hydraulic system receives the restriction of environmental factor such as temperature bigger, and difficult to find root when breaking down; Servo driven type step mechanical gearing mechanism hand is a third generation step mechanical gearing mechanism hand up-to-date on the our times, and the servomotor of employing more than six is distributed in the one or both sides of two step rates; Common controlled motion can be regulated the feeding step pitch adapting to the production of different product through programming, but also have shortcoming; For example the servomotor as power need be distributed in the forcing press both sides, makes that step rate need be across the forcing press both sides, and not only the length of beam is long, weight is big; Structure is also complicated, causes the maintenance and repair workload of step mechanical gearing mechanism hand big, and power consumption is big; Though can realize that through programming the feeding step pitch is adjustable; Load receives the restriction of rail length, also can only carry out the conveying of several kinds of shapes near the kind forging, and the degree of flexibility of production is low.In addition, above-mentioned three kinds of step mechanical gearing mechanism hands receive to restrict across the girder structure of forcing press both sides, change mould bases as needing in process of production, and the step rate that need remove a side at least could shift out press bench with mould bases, causes the die change workload to increase considerably.So in commercial Application, above-mentioned three types of step mechanical gearing mechanism hands generally all only are used for a kind of production of specification forging after Installation and Debugging on the forcing press are good.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the deficiency of existing step mechanical gearing mechanism hand feeding method; Provide a kind of and can realize Flexible Production; Can be applied to the multistation step feeding method of plurality of specifications forging automated production; And need not to dismantle the step rate any structure when changing mould bases, core rod, effectively reduce labor strength.
Technical scheme of the present invention is: adopt two articulated robots with 5 or 6 rotating shafts; At fixing respectively two the motion beams of the mechanical arm end of two robots; The folder of two groups of band buffer gears is housed on two motion beams one to one grabs, jaw quantity can increase and decrease on demand, can freely adjust the jaw spacing at motion beam upper edge feed direction simultaneously; Servo-control system setting space movement locus through articulated robot; Make two motion beams synchronously in X, Y, three direction aggregate motions of Z, grab clamping and loosen forging, be implemented in the conveying of forging between a plurality of stations by two groups of folders.Because driving force is in the centre of motion beam, not only the structure of motion beam is simplified greatly, if the station number more after a little while, can also change the short motion beam of length, has reduced the elastic deformation amount of beam under the clamping load effect, has improved the forging repetitive positioning accuracy.
Adopt technique scheme, can easily realize of the significantly adjusting of motion beam in X, Y, three directions of Z any one or a plurality of motion step pitches.When needs are produced the forging products of different size, change shape, position and the quantity that folder is grabbed as required, and can realize quick, stable changing the line of production through the servo-control system change robot motion track that articulated robot carries; When needs were changed mould bases, the multi-joint arm of control robot was removed and can be got out of the way the space, easily changes mould bases; When station number and feeding change of stride are big, even can also change the motion beam of different length.Practical situations proves; With respect to the industrial common step mechanical gearing mechanism hand of forging and pressing; Under the prerequisite that increases manufacturing cost hardly, the present invention has simplified the structure of traditional step mechanical gearing mechanism hand, has improved the repetitive positioning accuracy of forging; Realized that weight is bigger, the multistation conveying of the more forging products of specification, the flexibility of automation stamping line is improved.
