An automatic mould stripping system for moulding modules (7) located in a curing tool (12), comprising: a programmable robot (1) comprising an articulated arm (1a) with one end free, actuation means (13, 14) for conferring a horizontal rotary movement and a vertical tilting movement to the articulated arm (1a), and a head (2) located in the free end of the articulated arm (1a) with at least one vacuum suction pad (11) able to adhere itself to a surface (16, 17) of an object; a voiding,system (15) for generating a vacuum; referencing means (3) for referencing a vertical and horizontal position of each object (6, 7); and programmable controlling means (18) which govern said actuation means (13, 14) so that the articulated arm (1a) can position the suction pad (11) on that surface (16, 17) of the object (6, 7) in an initial position and transport it to a final position.
An automatic mould stripping system for moulding modules located in a curing tool in which an aeronautical piece has been cured, comprising:
Automatic mould stripping system according to either of the above claims, wherein the initial position of the moulds is the curing tool and the final position of the moulds is a storage bin for modules.
Automatic mould stripping system according to any of the above claims, wherein the initial position of the rubber separators is the storage bin for rubber separators and the final position of the rubber separators is a storage bin for modules.
Automatic mould stripping system according to any of the above claims, wherein the controlling means cause the head to position a level of rubber separators between each level of stacking of the modules in the modules bin.
Automatic mould stripping system according to any of the above claims, wherein the referencing means are selected from among referencing stops, guides, marks painted on the floor and other similar.
Automatic mould stripping system according to any of the above claims, wherein the controlling means comprise first sensor means which emit a full signal when they detect that the modules bin is full, and first processor means for halting which transmit a halt signal to the actuation means when said first sensor means emit a full signal.
Automatic mould stripping system according to any of the above claims, wherein the controlling means comprise second sensor means which emit an empty signal when they detect that the rubber separators bin is empty, and second processor means for halting which transmit a halt signal to the actuation means when said second sensor means emit an empty signal.
Automatic mould stripping system according to any of the above claims, wherein the robot is a robot of the spherical type with articulated arm having six axes.
