Sheet metal processes can be fully automatedAs an example of a fully automated cell, you could have a cutting table and a bending press unit. These could be arranged around an articulated robot in the middle that moves metal sheets from process to process. It is important to have tooling which can handle the metal sheets, for example suctions cups or magnets, and that these do not damage the metal or leave marks.Make sure parts can be moved both into the cell and out to a stock by rollers, a rail or another articulated robot. Such a solution could, if properly built, run 24 hours without human interaction.A setup like this would require competent programming and consulting from experts to align the machines. It is important that the robot is suited to the task, both in terms of reach and payload depending on the dimensions and the weight of the metal sheets. This will cost time and money, but once it is set up there will be benefits in terms of increased quality, accuracy, precision and throughput.These benefits only come into force if the produced parts are of high volume and low variety. If not, too much capital is used to handle the many changeovers required, and the advantages of the automated cell would therefore be lost.With the proper product mix, there will be benefits. Workers normally doing the transferring, bending and transportation of the sheets could be released from the cell. This enables them to work in other areas where creativity and critical thinking is needed.
