Product Description
Large Scale Stamping Line Automated Robotic Stamping Line
For heavy-duty manufacturing environments—such as automotive side-frames, truck chassis, and large appliance housings—Zhejiang Qicheng Intelligent Technology engineers Large Scale Automated Robotic Stamping Lines designed for 24/7 high-intensity cycles. By deploying ABB's high-payload, long-reach robotics (IRB 7600 and IRB 8700), we eliminate the physical constraints of traditional mechanical transfers, providing a fully programmable, synchronized ecosystem capable of handling blanks up to 5 meters in length with sub-millimeter precision.
Large-Scale System Performance Matrix
Our large-scale lines are engineered to manage extreme inertia while maintaining the fluid motion required for high-volume output.
| Technical Metric | Standard Automated Line | Qicheng Large-Scale Robotic Line |
|---|---|---|
| Compatible Press Force | 400T - 1000T | 1200T - 2500T+ (Tandem / Transfer) |
| Max Payload per Station | <150kg | Up to 800kg (Reinforced EOAT) |
| Transfer Pitch (Reach) | 2.5m - 4.0m | Up to 9.0m (via High-Torque 7th Axis) |
| Synchronization | Intermittent Signal | Continuous Dynamic Path Sync |
| Control Architecture | Isolated PLCs | Unified Gigabit Ethernet/IP Backbone |
Technical Pillars of Large-Scale Automation
To ensure long-term reliability and peak performance, our engineering team focuses on three critical domains of large-scale integration:
- Massive Inertia & Momentum Control: Handling a 60kg automotive side-panel at 12 Strokes Per Minute (SPM) creates immense centrifugal forces. We utilize ABB's Advanced Motion Control algorithms to calculate real-time center-of-gravity (CoG) offsets. This prevents "part-flutter" and mechanical stress on the robot's gearboxes, ensuring the structural integrity of the workpiece remains uncompromised during high-acceleration transfers.
- Seismic-Isolated Foundation Engineering: High-tonnage presses (2000T+) generate significant ground-borne harmonic vibrations. Qicheng designs and installs Specialized Heavy-Duty Pedestals constructed from vibration-dampening composite steel. These bases are physically decoupled from the press foundation, protecting the robot's high-resolution encoders and ensuring a consistent repeatability of ±0.05mm over years of operation.
- Extended-Reach 7-Axis Integration: For ultra-wide tandem lines, standard robot reach is often insufficient. We integrate high-speed, servo-driven Linear Tracks (7th Axis) that allow the robot to move laterally between press stations. This allows a single high-payload robot to service multiple die stages or manage extreme transfer pitches without sacrificing cycle time.
Key Solution Highlights
- Carbon-Fiber Hybrid EOAT: We employ ultra-lightweight, high-rigidity carbon fiber booms for end-of-arm tooling. This reduces the total payload weight, allowing the robot to achieve 20% faster acceleration compared to traditional steel or aluminum grippers.
- Intelligent De-Stacking & Centering: Our large-scale lines feature non-contact Optical Centering Stations. Using high-speed vision, the system identifies the blank's position in milliseconds and compensates for any misalignment during the pick-up phase, eliminating the need for mechanical pusher units.
- SafeMove Pro Zone Management: In a 60-meter production line, safety is paramount. We implement virtual safety zones that allow maintenance staff to safely enter specific cells without stopping the entire line, maximizing total system uptime.
Industry Q&A (Large-Scale Focus)
How do you handle the high "Spring-back" and material variance in large-scale high-strength steel (HSS) parts?
We integrate In-Line Laser Metrology at the end of the line. The robot presents the finished part to a non-contact scanner that compares the physical geometry to the 3D CAD master. Any variance in spring-back is logged and can be used to automatically adjust the press dwell-time or notify the die-maintenance team.
What is the typical ROI (Return on Investment) for a large-scale robotic retrofit of a manual press line?
Most customers see a full ROI within 18 to 24 months. This is driven by a 40-60% increase in SPM, a significant reduction in scrap rates due to precise handling, and the total elimination of high-risk manual labor in the heavy-tonnage zone.
Can the system be integrated with an automated die-change (ADC) system?
Absolutely. Our robots are programmed with Automatic Tooling Racks. During a die change, the robots automatically return their grippers to a storage rack and pick up the new set for the next part number, fully synchronized with the press's moving bolsters.
