    Designed for High-Performance Laser Bending Automation

    Cutting efficiency is higher by reducing the time for plate loading, and waste pick-up efficiency increases by 50%. Plate utilization is improved by cutting only the required amount, avoiding the disadvantage of sizing and compensating each sheet. Manual labor intensity is reduced—no pre-sizing cuts and no manual plate lifting—greatly improving work efficiency. A single control system enables automatic sorting and processing with manual/automatic integration, and the operation is simple and user-friendly compared with ordinary machines that require importing graphics every time.

    07

    Welding and Assembly Module

    The bent sheet metal parts are transferred by the robot to the manipulator welding forming station. The manipulator welding forming equipment is equipped with a high-precision welding system and a visual tracking system, which can automatically select the appropriate welding process (such as argon arc welding, spot welding, etc.) and welding parameters according to the welding requirements of the sheet metal parts. During the welding process, the visual tracking system monitors the weld position in real time and guides the manipulator to accurately complete the welding operation, ensuring that the weld is uniform and firm, and the welding quality is stable and reliable.

    08

    Material Handling

    There are two forms of automated loading and unloading: truss and robotic arm
    (1)The robotic arm grabs the sheet metal parts that have been processed by leveling, laser cutting and other preliminary processes from the processing area with its flexible joints and precise positioning capabilities. The grabbing device at the end of the robotic arm can be adaptively adjusted according to the shape and size of the sheet metal parts to ensure a smooth and reliable grabbing process and avoid damage to the workpiece. After grabbing, the robotic arm quickly transfers the sheet metal parts to the starting position of the truss conveyor track.

    Material Handling

    09

    Automation Module

    (2)The truss automation system offers a cost-effective solution for stable, high-load transfer of sheet metal components. Powered by servo drives, it ensures fast and precise positioning along predefined tracks—enhancing the speed and reliability of the overall sheet metal production line.
