The KINGLAN Three-dimensional Manipulator is a servo-driven automation solution designed for automatic workpiece transfer in metal stamping production. By adding a vertical Z-axis to the conventional two-dimensional manipulator, the 3D manipulator provides greater flexibility for lifting, lowering, transferring and positioning workpieces between stamping stations.
Designed for automated stamping applications, this three-axis manipulator combines X, Y and Z-axis movement with a PLC-controlled system and touch-screen operation. The system helps automate material handling processes, reduce repetitive manual operations and improve the consistency of stamping production.
A three-dimensional manipulator, also known as a 3D manipulator or three-axis stamping manipulator, is an automated transfer device used to move workpieces within a stamping production line.
Unlike a conventional two-dimensional manipulator, which mainly performs horizontal transfer movements, a three-dimensional manipulator adds a vertical Z-axis. This additional axis allows the gripper to lift and lower workpieces, making the system suitable for applications where vertical movement and more flexible positioning are required.
A typical 3D manipulator uses servo motors, precision transmission components, sensors and a PLC control system to coordinate workpiece movement with the stamping press.
The main movements include:
X-axis: Horizontal movement and workpiece transfer
Y-axis: Forward and backward movement
Z-axis: Vertical lifting and lowering
Gripper: Holds and transfers the workpiece
PLC control system: Coordinates the manipulator with the production process
This configuration makes the 3D manipulator suitable for automatic loading, unloading and transfer operations in stamping automation.
The three-dimensional manipulator operates through coordinated movement of its three axes.
During the stamping process, the gripper picks up the workpiece from the designated position. The servo-driven axes then move the workpiece along the programmed transfer path before placing it accurately at the next position.
The PLC and touch-screen control system coordinate the manipulator's movement and production sequence. Sensors can be used to detect gripping and workpiece conditions, helping improve operational stability and reduce transfer errors.
A typical working cycle includes:
The manipulator receives the programmed movement sequence.
The gripper approaches the workpiece.
The workpiece is securely gripped.
The X, Y and Z axes move the workpiece to the required position.
The workpiece is placed into the next stamping station.
The gripper returns to the programmed position.
The cycle repeats automatically.
This automated transfer process reduces the need for manual workpiece handling and helps create a more consistent stamping production process.
1.The power source is a number of independent servo motors. The encoder-equipped with press crankshaft releases angle signal and is transmitted to the control system to achieve the function of synchronous operation with the press.
2. The three link manipulator has error feeding detection circuit to ensure the safety of the die and the machine.
3. The main frame adopts a welded structure, each axis is driven by a precision ball screw, and the positioning accuracy is high.
4. The feeding system can use a three-in-one feeder, a swing feeder, or a double-stack feeder.
5. Realize automatic production, intensify operational safety, increase production capacity, stabilize product quality, and effectively reduce non-performing rates and costs.
6. Adopt PLC and touch man-machine interface control system and can monitor the
angle in operation and abnormal state. Various parameters needed in the stamping process can be input, modified, adjusted through the man-machine interface, easily setting adjusted and maintained.
