1. Core of Automation in the Mold Manufacturing Industry
In the field of metal processing automation, CNC machine tools, robots, wire cutting machines, and CNC systems are the four iconic elements. Enterprises capable of providing all four types of products are undoubtedly important interpreters of automated factories and suppliers of solutions.
For the mold manufacturing industry, the core concept of automation revolves around high speed, high precision, and high efficiency. From the user's perspective, the application of automation technology can bring mold products with high quality, low cost, and high reliability, ultimately helping enterprises increase profits and maximize value.
2. Application Value of Robots in Mold Manufacturing
The application of robots in the mold manufacturing field takes intelligent robotization, networking, and systematization as the core production concept. Centering on this concept, robots can cover the entire process of mold manufacturing — from casting, welding, forging, and cutting to loading/unloading, installation, and then to cutting processing, grinding, and polishing. No matter how complex the process is, they can provide better products and solutions for automated factories.
Through the collaborative cooperation between robot systems, machining centers, and wire EDM machines, relying on good equipment compatibility and high reliability, the unmanned production mode of mold manufacturing can be realized, providing a complete solution for the implementation of automated factories. At the same time, the modular structure design, flexible control system, and prefabricated application packages of robots make them indispensable core equipment in the production process of mold metal products.
In specific application scenarios, robots can be widely involved in processing links such as drilling, milling, cutting, bending, polishing, and grinding. They can effectively shorten the work cycle of welding, installation, inspection, loading/unloading, and stamping processes, and significantly improve production efficiency. Even in harsh production environments with heavy dust, high humidity, and high temperature (such as casting spraying, pouring, loading/unloading, edge trimming, milling and drilling, deburring, cleaning, etc.), robots can operate stably and greatly improve the economic benefits of the production process.
In addition, some robots have a compact structure and excellent motion performance, which can be perfectly integrated with machining centers and operate flexibly in narrow spaces. Equipped with an overall vision system, they can realize real-time monitoring, rapid identification and correction, and accurately complete material picking and placing, providing efficient and convenient technical support for the unmanned processing of molds.
3. Segmented Applications of Robots in the Metal and Sheet Metal Processing Industry
In addition to the mold manufacturing field, robots also have a wide range of application scenarios in the metal and sheet metal processing industry, covering multiple key processes, which can not only improve production efficiency but also optimize the working environment:
1. Arc Welding: Provide efficient and high-quality welding robot units, and can customize reasonable solutions according to different welding needs of enterprises.
2. Machine Tool Loading and Unloading: The integration of vision systems has greatly expanded the application space of robots in machine tool loading and unloading scenarios, improving the accuracy and flexibility of material transfer.
3. Gravity Casting: Realize automated gravity casting, helping workers get rid of the harsh working environment with high temperature and high risk, while effectively improving the stability of casting product quality.
4. Metal Cutting: The application of robots in the field of metal cutting can significantly improve the stability of cut products and at the same time free workers from heavy and dangerous cutting operations.
5. Die Casting Part Taking: The robot part-taking system can realize unmanned operation of high-pressure die casting, completing multiple processes such as part taking, inspection, cooling, and runner removal in one stop, reducing manual intervention.
6. Die Casting Spraying: The die casting robot spraying system is a high-efficiency and high-flexibility production unit, supporting one set of nozzles to complete the spraying needs of multiple sets of molds and realizing unmanned spraying operations.
7. Surface Polishing: Equipped with force sensors, it can accurately control the polishing force, fully demonstrating the excellent surface performance of metal and sheet metal products and improving product texture.
8. Spraying: Provide various special painting robots for the industry to ensure the uniformity and consistency of spraying and meet the coating needs of different products.
9. High-Pressure Cleaning: High-pressure cleaning robots have versatility, which can realize the cleaning of multiple types of products by the same robot, reducing equipment investment costs.
10. Deburring: The application of robots in the deburring process allows workers to stay away from the dirty and high-dust working environment while ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of deburring.
