Independent Manipulator Stamping Line VS C Type Independent Manipulator Stamping Line

In tandem stamping lines, the independent manipulator stamping line and the C-type independent manipulator stamping line are two common types. On the surface, they appear very similar. Although their motion patterns and control principles are almost identical, they are applied to different scenarios due to their different structural designs. Next, we will explore the differences between them.

Appearance

(This is a comparison of the crossbars of the independent and the C-type independent manipulator.)

The crossbar of an independent manipulator is relatively shorter than that of a C-type independent manipulator. Medium and large-sized stamping presses are bulky, and there's a certain distance between the die and the robotic arm. To accurately place the workpiece into the die, the length of the manipulator crossbar needs to be correspondingly increased. The longer crossbar, combined with the weight of medium and large-sized workpieces, necessitates a stronger load-bearing capacity.

Capabilities

1. Manipulator

(Comparison of sheet sizes in destacking systems.)

The independent manipulator typically handles smaller and lighter sheets, while the C-type manipulator can handle larger and heavier sheets.

2. Press Machine

(This image shows the C-frame press used in an independent manipulator, and the H-frame press used in a C-type independent manipulator.)

Based on the size and thickness of the sheet being processed, the presses used in independent manipulator stamping lines are typically not very large, while C-type independent manipulator stamping lines use presses with larger tonnages.

Application

Independent manipulator production lines are mainly used for stamping production of small to medium-sized workpieces. Home Appliance Industry: Small and medium-sized appliance housings (microwave ovens, rice cookers). 3C Electronics Industry: desktop computer casing, laptop casing.

C-type independent manipulator production lines are mainly used for stamping production of medium to large-sized parts. Home Appliance Industry: TV back panel, washing machine casing.

In general, independent manipulator stamping lines are mainly used for small- to medium-sized sheet stamping, offering higher speeds and lower costs. C-type independent manipulator stamping lines are designed for medium- to large-sized sheets, providing greater production stability and preventing instability caused by the weight of large workpieces.
