Types of Extractors
There are various types of die casting machine Extractors, mainly including the following:
Servo manipulator
Five-link Extractor
Industrial robotic arm
Automatic die-casting Extractor
Clamp-on Extractor
Customized pick-up manipulator
Servo manipulator
This type of Extractor is usually driven by a multi-axis servo system, which has the characteristics of high precision, high speed and flexibility.
For example, some models of pick-up manipulators include six-axis robots.
Which can realize complex movements and can be linked with die-casting machines, sprayers and other equipment to achieve fully automatic production.
Five-link Extractor
This Extractor is usually used in zinc alloy die-casting machines.
Suitable for smaller or irregular workpieces, with a five-link mechanism to achieve gripping and placement.
Industrial robotic arm
Six-axis robotic arm is a common type of Extractor with a large working range and flexibility.
Suitable for a variety of die casting scenarios, including loading and unloading, injection molding, die casting, etc.
Fully automatic die casting Extractor
This type of equipment usually integrates a variety of functions.
Such as spraying, trimming, etc., to automate the whole process from taking out the casting to placing it on the conveyor belt.
Gripper type Extractor
This kind of Extractor grabs the casting through the fixture.
Which is suitable for the workpiece with regular shape, and has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient operation.
Customized pick-up manipulator
According to different production needs, manufacturers can provide customized pick-up manipulators to meet specific material and process requirements.
Each of these Extractor types has its own characteristics and is suitable for different die casting scenarios and needs.
which can effectively improve production efficiency and automation level.
Advantages of Extractors
The die-casting machine extractor has many advantages, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Improve production efficiency
The die-casting machine Extractor can complete the pick-up operation quickly and accurately.
Reduce the waiting time and operator errors in the production process, and thus significantly improve production efficiency.
For example, the Extractor with servo control and PLC control system can achieve high-precision positioning and clamping.
So that the clamping speed is accelerated, and the production efficiency is increased by 20%-30%.
Adaptable
The Extractor is designed to be flexible and able to adapt to different sizes and shapes of castings.
For example, some Extractors use a four-link mechanism
Which can easily remove the product in a small space and can be adapted for the production of complex molds.
In addition, the Extractor can be programmed to adjust the trajectory to suit different workpieces and production needs.
High degree of automation
The Extractor is usually equipped with an intelligent control system, which can achieve fully automatic operation without manual intervention.
This not only improves the stability and consistency of production, but also reduces labor costs and the risk of workplace injuries.
Versatility
Modern die casting machine Extractors are not limited to simple pick-up actions
But can also integrate other functions such as slag removal bag, spray, trimming, etc., to further improve the automation level and efficiency of the production line.
Easy maintenance
Many Extractors use high-strength materials and advanced drive systems
Such as servo motors and gear units, which eliminate the need for frequent oil changes and are relatively simple to maintain, extending the life of the equipment.
High safety
The Extractor is usually equipped with a variety of safety protection functions
Such as anti-collision devices and emergency stop buttons, to ensure safe and reliable operation.
The Die Casting Machine Pickup Arm is an indispensable piece of equipment for modern die casting production lines by improving productivity, adaptability, high automation, versatility, ease of maintenance, and ensuring safety.
The function of the extractor
The integrated functions of the automatic die casting picker include the following aspects:
Casting extraction
The six-axis robot is used to flexibly carry out secondary operations to achieve fast and accurate extraction of castings from the mold and placement to the specified position.
The robot system automatically completes functions such as product clamping, detection, water-cooled positioning, hydraulic positioning and transfer table positioning through different attitude changes.
Product integrity inspection confirmation
During the pick-up process, the robot system can carry out product integrity inspection to ensure product quality.
Die-casting cooling
Integrated cooling systems, such as cooling fans and lifting cooling water tanks, ensure that castings are cooled immediately after removal.
Slag bag
The air hammer slag bag removal device is used to remove the slag bag on the surface of the casting and improve the quality of the casting.
Fine blanking
The robot system can perform fine blanking operations to further improve the accuracy and surface quality of castings.
Grinding and deburring
The robot grinding and deburring device is used to remove burrs from the surface of the casting and improve the overall quality of the casting.
Product Conveying
The robot system can transport the processed castings to the designated location to achieve a fully automated production process.
Spraying
In addition to picking, the robot system can also be used with a spraying device to coat castings to meet different surface treatment needs.
Data recording and monitoring
Data recording and real-time monitoring of the entire production process ensure the transparency and traceability of the production process.
Haichen Extractors Application
The application examples of Haichen extractors cover a wide range of areas and demonstrate the wide range of applications of automation technology in die casting production.
For details, please refer to Haichen’s website
Robot pick-up application
The manipulator is used to pick up parts from the die-casting machine with a compact arm structure
And the pick-up claw is designed to be extended, which can complete the pick-up operation even in confined spaces.
In addition, the robot can continue to remove the slag bag, air cooling and edge trimmer loading the workpiece after picking.
Machine automation pick-up case
Haichen can also provide customers with die-casting pick-up robot application solutions.
Including industrial robots, pick-up fixtures, bases, spraying mechanisms and automatic receiving lines.
The robot acts immediately after the completion of die-casting, completes operations such as picking, spraying release agent.
And mold clamping production, and puts the workpiece into the receiving line to achieve circular production.
