Overview
In stamping, robots feed blanks into presses, transfer parts between presses and stack finished panels. They replace risky manual feeding and keep the press running at a steady rhythm.
We design robotic press-line automation including de-stackers, magnetic or vacuum tooling, conveyors and safety interlocks with the press.
How It Works
- Blanks are de-stacked and checked for double sheets
- Robots load the press synchronously with the stroke
- Parts pass from press to press with controlled orientation
- Finished parts are stacked or sent by conveyor
What's Included in the System
- High-speed handling robots
- Vacuum or magnetic tooling
- Double-blank detector and centring table
- Conveyors and stacking stations
- Press interface and interlocks
Benefits
- Removes hand feeding from dangerous zones
- Stable stroke rate
- Reduced part damage
- Faster changeover with stored programs
What We Need to Prepare a Quotation
Please send us the following and we will reply with a proposal:
- Press tonnage and stroke rate
- Part size and material
- Number of presses and layout

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a robot synchronise with the press?
Through signals from the press control, and optionally motion-tracking on the crank angle, so the robot enters and leaves the die area safely.
Can we automate an older press?
Usually yes, with appropriate interlock signals and guarding.
