Press Tending with Yaskawa Robots

For sheet metal press tending or stamping applications with high duty cycles, our press handling robots are ideal. Designed with heavy-duty drive systems that deliver in the most demanding applications, these robots also have higher vibration ratings to tolerate the tough conditions often encountered in press rooms.

Yaskawa MOTOMAN Integration Partners have developed solutions for part infeed, transfer, and pack-out/racking of sheet metal press lines and stand-alone press systems. They offer custom end-of-arm tooling, as well as interfaces to various presses and equipment, and support press line control system features diagnostic capabilities for the line and each individual press. We are supporting our Integrators by providing excellent press tending manipulators and controls, as well as technology like encoder/conveyor and communication interfaces, Functional Safety Features to manage safe operating zones and workspaces, simulation, and engineering tools, helping to optimize equipment layout and maximize throughput.

Solutions For The Whole Press Automation Process

2. Line Master Controller

Master controller controls, it control overall the press line,robots transfer, control destacker centering, safety devices and ATC to the operation monitoring signal and the feedback signal for production management.

3. Front Line Automation

The front of line solution allows for processing the entire parts spectrum without interrupting the production or loss of performance, even during the blank stack change. The blanks are detached according to customer requirements, transported, cleaned, oiled and aligned to be ready for transfer to the first press by the loading feeder.

4. Centring Device (Positioning Unit)

The centring device offers customers full flexibility at low costs. Up to 4 blanks can be centred without the use of part-specific tooling, eliminating the need for tooling changing and storage facilities, resulting in a significant reduction of errors and follow-up costs.

5. Robots De-Stacker Grippers & Robots Interpress Gripper

Grippers are devices that enable robots to pick up and hold objects. When combined with industrial robot arm, grippers enable manufacturers to automate key processes, such as inspection, assembly, pick & place and machine tending.

6. Automatic Tool Changers

An automatic tool changer or ATC is used in computerized numerical control robots tools to improve the production and tool carrying capacity of the machine. ATC changes the tool very quickly, reducing the non-productive time. Generally, it is used to improve the capacity of the machine to work with a number of tools.
