Flexible Punching System Using Industrial Robots for Automotive Panels

Abstract

Abstract: With the development of tailor-made automotive panels,a new flexible punching system was proposed for personalization punching of automotive panels based on 6-axis industrial robots.Meanwhile,in order to get accurate and non-interference punching trajectory,the interactive tool path generation method was proposed in 2D planes based on shape features of punching pliers.This system is highly flexible and can be adjusted easily to punch all kinds of holes in different positions.

Key words: automotive panel, punching, industrial robot, tool path generation

摘要： 针对汽车覆盖件个性化制孔的需求,提出并实现了一种基于工业六轴机器人和专用冲孔钳的柔性冲孔系统。为了得到准确无干涉的冲孔轨迹,根据冲孔钳的形状特征,提出了一种在二维平面内交互冲孔的路径生成方法。该系统具有较高的灵活性,能够方便调整冲孔的位置和种类。
