Development of a manipulator for automation of press work

프레스 작업 자동화를 위한 간이로보트 개발에 관한 연구

A manipulator with 3 degrees of freedom is developed to automate operation of 60 ton pressing process. The pneumatically actuated manipulator is controlled by a programmable controller. Four seconds of cycle time which is faster than manual operation is achieved. Though the flexible feed mechanism, the system can accammodate any size of workpieces between 80*80 and 200*200 under 1 kg of weight.
