Which customer groups are suitable for CNC bending robots?

In the 21st century, with the rapid development of industry, the employment costs of enterprises continue to increase, and management costs and difficulties are gradually rising. As a result, many companies have begun to upgrade their production equipment, and the coverage of smart production is getting higher and higher.

Which customer groups are suitable for CNC bending robots?

CNC bending robot

The most widely used in the sheet metal processing industry is to use a universal six-axis robot instead of manual to complete the bending process, but not every company is suitable for the bending robot. In the process of communicating with customers, you must truly understand the actual situation of the customer. Recommended, the following points are particularly important:

1. Workpiece weight: The robot is suitable for bending large work pieces; its biggest advantage is that it can work continuously 24 hours a day, and the overall efficiency can be greatly improved under normal maintenance and trouble-free conditions. However, if manual bending is used, large workpieces have high requirements on the physical strength of workers, and they cannot work continuously. If it is a small workpiece with a complicated bending procedure and a small quantity, it is not recommended to use a robot. The efficiency of manual bending will be much higher than that of robot bending.

2. Workpiece type: A robot is recommended to bend five to six workpieces. It is impossible for a robot to cover all the bending workpieces of the enterprise. It does not mean that the robot cannot bend, and if it is fully covered, then the robot is debugged. The cost will be high.

3. Optional: If the workpiece is large or needs a large bending area for other reasons, a seventh axis should be installed after the robot is selected, which can increase the range of motion of the robot and meet the bending needs. Also, if customers want to reduce manual intervention, they can speed up the change of grippers, which can reduce the time for workers to change robot grippers.

In summary, CNC bending robots are suitable for companies that process large workpieces, large quantities, and few types of workpieces. Not all companies are suitable for robot bending.
