Fully automatic robot thermos cup stamping processing production line

Here is the introduction to the fully automatic robotic cup pressing production line using a six-axis industrial robot:

Six-axis Industrial Robot: Serving as the core equipment, it features six joints that enable multi-degree-of-freedom movement. This allows it to flexibly perform various complex actions in the cup pressing process. For example, in the pressing line, the six-axis robot can accurately transfer the cup material from one press to another for the next step of processing.
Pressing Equipment: Including multiple presses, these are used to press the cup material into shape, completing processes such as cup body stretching and shaping.
Material Feeding Device: Such as a de-stacking robot or automatic feeding mechanism, it is responsible for taking the cup raw materials from the material stack or rack and delivering them to the positioning table of the pressing equipment.
Material Unloading Device: Used to remove the pressed cup from the press and place it on the stacking table or conveyor belt for subsequent processes.
Conveying System: Connecting various pressing equipment and workstations, it enables the automatic transfer of cups along the production line.
Control System: Through programming and software control, it achieves automated control of the six-axis industrial robot and the entire production line. This includes precise control of the robot’s movement trajectory, speed, acceleration, and other parameters.

Material Feeding: The de-stacking robot takes the cup raw materials from the stack and places them on the positioning table of the feeding device.
Pressing Process: The six-axis industrial robot transfers the raw materials from the positioning table into the first press for pressing. Subsequently, the robot moves the semi-finished products to the subsequent presses for further pressing processes, such as cup body stretching and shaping.
Material Unloading and Conveying: After the pressing process is completed, the finished cup is removed from the last press by the tail-line robot and placed on the stacking table or conveyor belt of the unloading device. The conveyor belt then transports the cup to the next process or inspection station.

High Flexibility: The six-axis industrial robot is highly flexible and can adapt to the pressing of cups of different shapes and sizes. Compared with linear coordinate manipulators, the six-axis robot has no equal height requirement for molds, making it easier to integrate into the pressing production line.
High Precision: Equipped with high-precision servo systems and absolute position sensors, the six-axis industrial robot can achieve precise positioning and motion control. This helps to improve the precision and quality of the pressing process and reduce the scrap rate.
High Efficiency: By optimizing the robot’s movement trajectory and cycle time, rapid material handling and pressing can be achieved. For example, the cycle time of a cup pressing production line using a six-axis industrial robot can reach 6 seconds per piece, greatly improving production efficiency.
High Safety: The robot employs non-contact visual safety protection and full-arm collision detection technologies, offering multi-level and diversified safety protection capabilities. This ensures the safe operation of the production line to some extent and reduces safety risks for operators.

Increased Production Efficiency: The automated production line can achieve continuous and stable production, reducing the downtime and errors in manual operations, thereby significantly improving production efficiency. For example, a single production line can complete the production of 6,000 cups per day.
Reduced Labor Costs: The dependence on manual labor is reduced, lowering labor and management costs. In some cases, the number of workers in a single production line factory has been reduced from eight to one for inspection and packaging.
Improved Product Quality: The robot can ensure the consistency and stability of the pressing process, reducing quality fluctuations caused by human factors, thereby improving product quality.
Enhanced Corporate Competitiveness: The adoption of advanced automation technology helps enterprises improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance product quality, thereby strengthening their competitiveness in the market.
