Abstract

A longitudinal metal plate loading/unloading and cutting method and a system thereof involve two longitudinally moving loading/unloading and cutting operation lines arranged in parallel, each of the operation lines comprising a block loading station, a cutting station, a sheet unloading station, and a carrying and stacking robot arranged between the two operation lines, which are arranged in succession, wherein the two operation lines have block loading directions opposite to each other. The present invention can effectively increase the cutting production rate and yield, and also provide a more reasonable layout of the system.
