Description:

Automated punching of shaped parts with robot.

The line is equipped with two 2D camera systems for positioning and punching control. Two parallel conveyor belts are used for material infeed and outfeed. The connection with the first camera system and a laser sensor for height detection guarantees a high positioning accuracy.

The system can process shaped parts with different dimensions. Different hole diameters can also be realized by using interchangeable punching tool sets. The robot picks up a shaped part by means of a camera system, corrects the position of the part on the gripper before the punch and moves into the punching tool. After the perforation has been made, the second camera system checks the perforation for centricity and places the shaped part on the table. If the result is not OK, it is sorted out as a missing part.

The stacking height of the finished parts can be varied in relation to subsequent work steps, such as packaging.

Due to the compact design, the system can also be used in limited spaces.
