Automatic rebar cutting, forming, and palletizing system
<span> Feeding section: Material is supplied via a hopper; the workpiece is pushed by a pusher mechanism to the vision‑inspection station for identification, then gripped by a claw and conveyed to the robotic arm’s picking position. The robotic arm subsequently places the workpiece onto the infeed pusher track, from where it is advanced by a pushing mechanism onto the infeed conveyor. </span> <span> Pusher and guide rail assembly: A ratchet mechanism drives the product, feeding it into the die for rib cutting, forming, and part separation. Finally, the ratchet ejects the finished part from the right side of the die, while scrap frames fall through the bottom of the die into the scrap collection bin. An overload alarm is activated in the event of an overload. </span> <span> Powertrain: servo motor + gearbox + cam mechanism. </span> <span> Forming section: The forming gripper picks up the component and places it on the forming platform. Once the platform detects the presence of the component, the gripper presses it down and, via the forming mechanism, drives the forming block to correct any angular deviations in the component leads. The forming mechanism employs two independent sets of actuators to adjust lead angle deviations in both orthogonal directions. </span> <span> Flipping Section: Upon receiving the command, the flipping mechanism automatically picks up the product and rotates it to the designated orientation, then waits for palletizing. </span> <span> Tray-loading section: This section is equipped with two complete tray‑moving and collecting mechanisms, enhancing machine efficiency and reducing manual labor. Empty trays are stacked and fed in from the rear, then conveyed by a module to the loading station; once filled, they are transferred by the same module to the front for stacking and storage. </span>
