Forming and Press Tending Solutions from Motoman Robotics

Motoman Robotics offers a wide selection of application-specific and general-purpose robot models ideal for forming and press tending applications.  As an experienced provider of robotic press tending solutions, our expertise encompasses destacking, press-to-press transfer, packing and racking, and tube bending. 

With ever-changing products and smaller lot sizes, flexibility is the key to the automation puzzle.  Our robots allow for quick changeover for various part runs, and multiple robots can be programmed to work together for multi-stage processes.  By utilizing robotic automation, users will also improve operator safety by eliminating manual press loading and repetitive lifting.  Our highly flexible solutions offer significant value that will reduce costs and improve productivity.

 

 

 

Motoman Robotics and our partners have developed solutions for part infeed, transfer and pack-out/racking of press lines and stand-alone press systems.  We offer custom end-of arm tooling, as well as interfaces to various presses and equipment.  Our fully developed press line control system features diagnostic capabilities for the line and each individual press.  We also provide accurate computer modeling and simulation to optimize equipment layout and maximize throughput. Operator safety is significantly improved by eliminating manual press loading, along with complete safety solutions. 

Press Tending

A wide range of Motoman® robot models are available in floor, shelf or overhead mounting configurations to accommodate any die change system.   Our robotic press tending solutions can be custom-designed to meet your requirements with options such as high-speed part shuttles, hand-off or idle nest stations, robot-to-robot part flipover, vacuum, mechanical and magnetic grippers, automation tool change, and slide bases to facilitate die change.

  

Press Brake

From small parts to large, unwieldy sheets of metal, Motoman robots are ideal for press tending applications.   By utilizing various gripper options and flexible regrip/orientation stations, difficult positioning is easily achievable during the bending sequence. Various parts are accommodated with an automatic tool change unit which allows the robot to select the correct gripper for the work piece.  Depending on requirements,  infeed magazines, outfeed pallets, conveyors and other peripherals can be fully integrated for a complete automated press brake solution.

  

End of Line Racking / Pack Out

Automate your end-of-line press operation!  Motoman robots can easily and quickly load finished parts into engineered, part-specific racks, bins or pallets.  Our solutions feature high-speed conveyors or shuttles for rack entry and removal, robust locators with bin sensors and optional vision for part location and inspection.
