Abstract
A method and system for handling beam-cut parts (202) cut out of a piece of material, the method comprising the steps of: receiving the beam-cut piece of material from beam-cutting equipment (102), the beam-cut piece of material being situated on a supporting structure (116); and gripping at least one part of the beam-cut piece of material, or gripping the beam-cut piece of material, or gripping a section of the beam-cut piece of material including at least one part of the beam-cut piece of material or gripping a remainder of the beam-cut piece of material with the at least one part removed, by means of at least one gripper (110, 112) controlled by a gripping robot (106, 108).
Claims16
A method for handling beam-cut parts cut out of a piece of beam-cut material, the method comprising the steps of:
- Cutting the piece of beam-cut material such that at least two said beam-cut parts remain joined together by micro joints and/or at least one said beam cut part and a remainder part of said piece of beam-cut material remain joined together by micro joints;
- Receiving the piece of beam-cut material from beam-cutting equipment, the piece of beam-cut material being situated on a supporting structure;
- Gripping at least one said beam-cut part of the piece of beam-cut material, or gripping the piece of beam-cut material, or gripping a section of the piece of beam-cut material including at least one beam-cut part of the piece of beam-cut material, or gripping the remainder part of the piece of beam-cut material with the at least one said beam-cut part removed, by means of at least one gripper in the form of a claw, or a pair of pincers, or a plurality of jaws controlled by a gripping robot;
- Gripping at least one micro joint part or a micro joint remainder part of the piece of beam-cut material by means of the at least one gripper in such a way that one said micro joint part is released from another said micro joint part and/or from a micro joint remainder part of the piece of beam-cut material;
- and
- Releasing said micro joint part from said another micro joint part and/or from the micro joint remainder part by bending or rotating the respective micro joint in relation to another said beam-cut part and/or the remainder part of the piece of beam-cut material by means of the gripper controlled by the at least one gripping robot.
A system for handling beam-cut parts cut out of a piece of beam-cut material such that at least two said beam-cut parts remain joined together by micro joints and/or at least one said beam cut part and a remainder part of said piece of beam-cut material remain joined together by micro joints, wherein the system comprises at least one gripping robot having at least one gripper controlled by the at least one gripping robot, wherein the system further comprises a holder for receiving a supporting structure, which holds the piece of beam-cut material, from beam-cutting equipment and holding the support structure, and wherein the at least one gripping robot is arranged to grip at least one said beam-cut part of the piece of beam-cut material, or grip the piece of beam cut material, or grip a section of the piece of beam-cut material including at least one part of the piece of beam-cut material, or grip the remainder part of the piece of beam-cut material, by means of the at least one gripper in the form of a claw, or a pair of pincers, or a plurality of jaws, in such a way that one said micro joint part is released from another said micro joint part and/or from a micro joint remainder part of the piece of beam-cut material by bending or rotating the respective micro joint in relation to another said beam-cut part and/or the remainder part of the piece of beam-cut material by means of the gripper controlled by the at least one gripping robot.
