Press Machine Tending using Neuromeka Collaborative Robots

Industry > Metal·PlasticsApplication > Machine TendingSector > Manufacturing

This application case features a robotic automation system solution using Neuromeka's Indy7 to improve material supply accuracy and operational efficiency in press manufacturing processes.

By synchronizing 6-axis collaborative robots with conveyor systems, we have established a flexible material supply chain between processes. This implementation ensures consistent product quality and significantly enhances overall production efficiency.

Components

Robot	Robot: Indy7 6-axis collaborative robot. Payload: 7kg. Maximum Reach: 1.3m (standard reach 800mm, total span optimized for machine tending). Weight: 28kg. Repeatability: ±0.1mm.

Workflow

STEP 1.	Material Transit: Raw materials move along the conveyor belt.
STEP 2.	Detection & Loading: Once the conveyor sensor detects the material, Indy7 (A) picks the part, loads it into the press machine, and the pressing cycle begins.
STEP 3.	Unloading: After the press cycle, the robot moves the processed part back onto the conveyor.
STEP 4.	Sequential Processing: Indy7 (B) and Indy10 (C) repeat the same sequence downstream to complete the multi-stage production.
