Application Of Automatic Gantry Robots In The Industry

With the continuous development and innovation of science and technology, the research and production of automatic gantry robots has become a rapidly developing new technology in the high-tech field. It has further promoted the development of the automatic gantry robots, enabling it to better realize the organic combination with mechanization and automation. Manipulator is an automatic device with the function of grasping and moving workpieces used in the automatic production process. It is a new device developed in the mechanized and automatic production process. Manipulators can replace humans to complete dangerous, repetitive and boring work, reduce human labor intensity, and improve labor productivity. In the mechanical industry, it can be used for assembly of parts, handling, loading and unloading of processing workpieces, especially in automatic CNC machine tools and modular machine tools. The automatic gantry robots is mainly combined with the CNC lathe (CNC milling machine, machining center, etc.) to form a production line. Combined with mechanical design, mechanical principles, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical transmission and control, sensors, programmable logic controller (PLC), electronic technology, automatic control, mechanical system simulation and other knowledge, the automation of the processing process (loading, processing, unloading) is realized. At present, China's manufacturing industry is developing rapidly, more and more capital flows to the manufacturing industry, and more and more manufacturers join the manufacturing industry. The automatic gantry robots can be applied to the workshop of the processing plant to meet the requirements for the installation and unloading of processing workpieces in the processing process of CNC machine tools and machining centers, thus reducing the labor intensity of workers, saving the auxiliary processing time, and improving the production efficiency and productivity.

The automatic gantry robots can imitate part of the actions of the human hand, and can automatically grasp, transport or operate according to the given program, track and requirements. At first, the structure of the automatic gantry robots was relatively simple, with strong specificity. It was only the loading and unloading device of a machine tool, and it was a special manipulator attached to the machine tool. Now, with the development of industrial technology, it is made to be able to realize repeated operation independently according to the program control, with a wide range of applications. Because the automatic gantry robots can quickly change the working procedure and has strong adaptability, it has been widely used in the medium and small batch production of constantly changing production varieties.
