Automation of a stamping press using sequential hydraulic manipulators
Abstract
The economic and technical feasibility of using pneumatic manipulation to automate a metal sheet stamping press was tested on a 2000 kN commercial machine. Results show that the pneumatic system is slower and less flexible than electromechanical methods. However, costs are lower and the system is interesting in cases of large series of work on slower machines, on curved pieces, for special work cycles, and linked to other machines.
