A Comprehensive Look at the Components of Hot Stamping Lines, Emphasizing Automation, Press Machines, and Heating Furnaces.
The equipment composition of hot stamping punching lines primarily consists of three major components: automation, press machines, and heating furnaces. In practice, automation devices connect press machines and heating furnaces for seamless production with automatic control.
Key Equipment Composition Sequence:
Destacking System (Automation Category)
Utilizing pallet loading platforms or carts, the destacking system, within the automation domain, employs magnetic separators on the loading platform to separate and position sheets. A destacking robot, equipped with a vacuum end effector, picks and separates sheets, checking for double sheets. Following production processes, steel plates are imprinted. Coded steel plates are then fed into the entrance platform of the heating furnace.
Heating Furnace (Furnace Manufacturer)
Divided into continuous bottoming routes and box-type heating furnaces, these may use electric, gas, or a combination of both heating methods. Well-known manufacturers include Sanjian, Swartz, Ebona, and Benteler. The heating furnace typically incorporates an end centering platform.
Press Machine (Forming Equipment)
Commonly employing hydraulic or servo-hydraulic press machines, reputable manufacturers include Kawasaki, Amada, Union, and JIER
Loading Transfer (Automation Category)
Tasked with delivering heated steel plates to the press machine within 1.5 seconds, this loading robot requires a high-speed mechanism for efficient, rapid, and smooth transfer into the forming press. Equipped with a gripping device on the end effector, temperature detection is incorporated.
Unloading Transfer (Automation Category)
Requiring retrieval and placement of formed steel plates onto the discharge mesh conveyor belt within 1.5 seconds.
The integration of the entire system also belongs to the category of automation. In order to improve production efficiency and realize synchronous curve control of heating furnaces and presses, Dongguan Ruihui Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. is currently a leading enterprise in stamping automation in China.
