AUTOMATIC SYNCHRONIZATION OF PRESS MACHINES AND ROBOTS

Methods and systems include ways to synchronize a press machine and tending robots, including a pick robot and a drop robot, where the press machine includes an operating area for pressing a blank into a part. The pick robot and the part are moved out of the operating area while the drop robot carrying the blank is moved into the operating area. At least a portion of the pick robot and/or the partresides within the operating area at the same time at least a portion of the drop robot and/or the blank resides within the operating area. The pick robot is in communication with the drop robot andthe movement of the pick robot is synchronized with the movement of the drop robot to prevent the pick robot or part from colliding with the drop robot or the blank. 方法与系统包括使压力机与包括拾取机器人和下放机器人的操作机器人同步的方式，其中，压力机包括用于将坯料压制成零件的操作区。在将携带坯料的下放机器人移至操作区的同时，将拾取机器人和零件移出操作区。在下放机器人的至少一部分和/或坯料的至少一部分处于操作区内的同时，拾取机器人的至少一部分和/或零件的至少一部分处于操作区内。拾取机器人与下放机器人进行通信并且拾取机器人的移动与下放机器人的移动同步，以防止拾取机器人或零件与下放机器人或坯料发生碰撞。
