Mechanical and Hydraulic Presses
With Robot-Press Synchronization, the robot follows the press movement, smoothly adapting its speed on-the-fly to optimize cycle time and minimize mechanical stresses.
Benefits
- Best cycle time
The robot always reaches position at the right moment.
It never stops in front of the press.
The improvement will be directly reflected by the productivity of the whole line.
Estimated around 5 - 8 % of robot cycle time improvement.
- Easier programming
No expertise needed for cycle time optimization.
Optimization is done completely on-line, without stopping line production.
Selectable “classical” control or sync control.
- Automatic adaptation
The robot speed adapts perfectly to line cycle changes.
- Improved safety
Due to reduced collision risk.
Robot wait for a fixed sensor position to avoid movement transitories.
Immediate detection of unexpected stops.
Online supervision of robot position with respect to the press.
Quick line restart after sync stop.
- Better maintainability
Fewer corrective actions are needed.
Less mechanical unit and electrical wear.
