Product Description
6 Axis Robot Tandem Stamping Line Automation
In a 6-Axis Robot Tandem Stamping Line, the integration of multi-axis freedom with sequential press operations represents the highest level of "Flexible Mass Production." Zhejiang Qicheng Intelligent Technology leverages the full kinematic potential of ABB 6-axis robotics to eliminate the dead time between presses, transforming a series of individual machines into a continuous, high-speed manufacturing flow. By moving beyond the linear constraints of traditional 2D or 3D transfers, our 6-axis tandem lines allow for complex part manipulation—such as mid-air flipping and precision re-orientation—directly within the transfer cycle.
6-Axis Tandem System Performance Matrix
Our 6-axis architecture provides a "Spatial Advantage" that directly translates to higher Strokes Per Minute (SPM) and lower tooling costs.
| Metric | Linear / 3-Axis Transfer | Qicheng 6-Axis Tandem Line |
|---|---|---|
| Path Versatility | Straight Line / Fixed Arc | Complex 3D Spatial Trajectories |
| Part Manipulation | Requires standalone turnover stations | Integrated Mid-Air Flipping/Tilting |
| Die Accessibility | Limited by horizontal bar | "Deep-Reach" capability for complex dies |
| Changeover Agility | Mechanical Adjustment Required | Software-Defined (Instant) Setup |
| Positioning Accuracy | ±0.15mm | ±0.05mm (Repeatable) |
Technical Pillars of 6-Axis Tandem Automation
-
Kinematic Path Smoothing (QuickMove™)Utilizing ABB's QuickMove™ and TrueMove™ technologies, we optimize the robot's secondary and tertiary axes to "whip" the part between presses. This minimizes the inertia-induced vibration of the sheet metal, allowing for higher acceleration and deceleration rates without risking part slippage or surface deformation.
-
Integrated Orientation Control (IOC)Many automotive and appliance parts require a change in orientation (e.g., a 90° rotation) between the drawing and trimming stages. Our 6-axis robots perform this rotation during the "flight" from Press A to Press B. This eliminates the need for expensive, floor-space-consuming turnover units, simplifying the entire line layout.
-
Master-Slave "Interlock" SynchronizationWe treat the entire tandem line as a single heartbeat. The 6-axis robots are electronically geared to the press's encoder. As the press ram begins its upward stroke, the robot calculates the optimal entry angle, entering the die area with sub-millimeter clearance to achieve a "Continuous Flow" state at 12-15 SPM.
-
Vibration-Isolated Precision BasesHigh-tonnage tandem lines generate massive seismic shocks. Qicheng's engineering team designs custom Active-Dampened Pedestals. These heavy-duty steel structures use high-density polymer filling to isolate the robot from press-induced harmonics, protecting the high-resolution 6-axis encoders from signal noise and mechanical wear.
Key Solution Highlights
- Automated End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) Exchange: Integrated tool-change stations where the 6-axis robot autonomously swaps its gripper for a new part number, fully synchronized with the press's Quick Die Change (QDC) sequence.
- Digital Twin Pre-Validation: We utilize RobotStudio® to simulate the entire 6-axis path against the 3D die geometry. This ensures 100% collision-free operation and validates cycle times before the physical equipment is even shipped.
- Adaptive Force Control: For delicate materials like aluminum or thin-gauge stainless steel, the robot's 6th axis utilizes force-feedback to "sense" the placement, ensuring the blank is seated perfectly against the die pins without excessive impact.
Industry Q&A (6-Axis Strategic Focus)
How does a 6-axis robot improve the "Die-Life" compared to a linear transfer?
Linear transfers often "drop" or "push" parts into place, causing micro-wear on the die surface over time. A 6-axis robot provides a "Soft-Placement" trajectory. It places the part with zero vertical impact and then retracts along a precise vector, minimizing the friction between the part and the die walls, which can extend die life by up to 25%.
Can we run different parts on Press 1 and Press 2 simultaneously in a tandem line?
Yes. This is known as "Asynchronous Tandem Processing." Our control logic allows each 6-axis robot to operate independently if required, enabling you to run two separate small-batch jobs on the same physical line to maximize machine utilization.
What happens if there is a power surge? How do the 6-axis robots recover without crashing into the dies?
We implement SafeMove™ Absolute Positioning. Every robot axis is equipped with redundant encoders and a battery-backed memory. In the event of a power failure, the robots maintain their exact spatial coordinates. Upon restart, they execute a "Safe-Extraction" routine to move out of the die area before production resumes.
