HANDLING PARTS IN A PRESS LINE

A system (100) for handling parts (300) in a press line comprises two industrial robots (101a, 101b) and at least one control unit (400) for the control of the robots, wherein each industrial robot is an articulated robot with at least four axes mounted in series between a robot base (2) and a robot...

More Information
Summary:A system (100) for handling parts (300) in a press line comprises two industrial robots (101a, 101b) and at least one control unit (400) for the control of the robots, wherein each industrial robot is an articulated robot with at least four axes mounted in series between a robot base (2) and a robot wrist (3), wherein each industrial robot further comprises an arm (4) that has a proximal end (4a) fixed to the robot wrist (3) and a distal end (4b) carrying an additional rotational axis (A7), a motor (43) mounted on the arm near the proximal end, and a transmission (41) between the motor and the additional rotational axis. A method for handling parts in a press line may comprise operating the system such that the two robots jointly handle a part, or such that they each handle a part, either in an alternating or in a parallel mode.
