There are various types of automatic feeding devices for lathes. The following are some common types and their characteristics:
Classify by the form of the workpiece blank
Youdaoplaceholder0 coil material feeding device
Application scenario : coiled wire, generally used in automatic lathes, automatic presses and automatic cold heading machines, etc.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Working principle : The coiled wire is loaded onto the automatic feeding mechanism. During processing, the material is pulled out, straightened and then sent to the processing position.
Youdaoplaceholder0 bar feeding device
Application scenario : Bar stock of a certain length, generally used in automatic lathes.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Working principle : The bar stock is loaded into the feeding pipe. After each workpiece is processed by the machine tool, the feeding mechanism automatically feeds the bar stock into the main shaft hole of the machine tool once according to the required length.
Youdaoplaceholder0 piece material feeding device
Subtype : hopper type and silo type.
Youdaoplaceholder0 hopper type feeding device :
Youdaoplaceholder0 application scenarios : workpieces with simple forms, light weights but large batches, and short process times, such as fasteners, bearing rings, watch parts, etc.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Working principle : Workpieces are randomly stacked in the hopper, and then sent into the feeding trough in a certain direction in sequence by the directional mechanism, and then sent to the processing position on the machine tool by the feeding mechanism.
Youdaoplaceholder0 silo type feeding device :
Youdaoplaceholder0 application scenarios : workpieces with complex shapes, large sizes and weights that are difficult to automatically align, or workpieces where surface damage is not allowed and the process time is long, such as shafts, gears, connecting rods, shells, etc.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Working principle : Workpieces are manually arranged in a directional manner and loaded into the silo, and then conveyed to the processing position on the machine tool through the feeding mechanism via the feeding chute.
Classified by technical features and structure
Youdaoplaceholder0 Vibrating disc material selection + pneumatic guide rail transfer type
Working principle : The vibrating disc selects materials and determines the direction, arranging the workpieces in a specific posture. The material trough conveys the workpieces into the interior of the machine tool, and the pneumatic driven guide rails transfer the workpieces.
Advantages of : simple structure, low cost, suitable for small-batch and multi-variety production scenarios.
Youdaoplaceholder0 vibrating disc material selection + machine tool drag plate transportation type
Working principle : The vibrating disc selects materials and determines the direction. After arranging the workpieces in a specific posture, the material is conveyed into the machine tool in a trough type, and the workpieces are transported by the machine tool's drag plate.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Advantage : It enhances the stability and accuracy of material feeding and is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for processing accuracy.
Youdaoplaceholder0 truss manipulator grasping type
Working principle : The workpiece is placed on the tray. The tray moves in lines. The truss-type manipulator grabs the workpiece and sends it to the machine tool spindle. The manipulator can also be used to remove the workpiece from the spindle.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Advantages : High degree of automation, capable of automatically grasping, loading and unloading workpieces throughout the entire process, suitable for large-scale and continuous production scenarios.
Collaborative robot integrated
Working principle : The visual system recognizes the position and posture of the workpiece and guides the collaborative robot to perform precise grasping and placement.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Advantages : It features high flexibility and adaptability, capable of handling workpieces of various complex shapes and sizes, and is suitable for flexible production lines and customized production scenarios.
Youdaoplaceholder0 magnetic levitation conveyor belt + intelligent sorting type
Working principle : Utilizing magnetic levitation technology to achieve rapid and smooth transportation of workpieces, combined with an intelligent sorting system to automatically classify and sort the workpieces.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Advantages : Fast conveying speed, low noise, easy maintenance, suitable for high-speed and efficient automated production lines.
