With the rapid development of the domestic industrial manufacturing industry, more and more companies have begun to use industrial robots to replace labor to achieve daily production. This not only improves work efficiency, but also saves labor costs. For industrial robots, by installing different The end effector can realize the automatic loading and unloading of the workpieces such as discs, long shafts, irregular shapes, metal plates and the like, workpiece turnover, workpiece rotation sequence, etc., and the operation of the robot does not rely on the controller of the machine tool to control , The manipulator uses an independent control module, does not affect the operation of the machine tool and the overall processing cycle.

The loading and unloading robots of machine tools generally need to realize the circulation of machine tools between multiple processes, so when designing the end effector (grip), full consideration must be given to the reachability, and the simulation software can be used to verify the reachability in advance and avoid going to the site. Found problems; secondly, when designing end effectors such as grippers, it is necessary to fully consider the material of the workpiece, etc., to avoid damage to the processed surface. When planning the plan, action timing charts are required, and the time of each process is fully considered. The robot's handling action does not affect the machine tool processing as much as possible, to avoid long-term waiting and waste of beats. As the requirements for flexible production lines become higher and higher, planning Need to be considered in advance.​​

In addition to the characteristics common to handling robots, such as heavy loads, accurate running trajectories, and stable and reliable performance, the robots for stamping production must also meet the characteristics of frequent starting, braking, large operating range, large workpiece size, and large rotating area.
