Abstract
A metal plate loading/unloading and cutting method and system comprises: a block cart and a sheet cart both of which are arranged on a guide rail; a cutting operation unit arranged at one side of the guide rail; a carrying and stacking robot arranged between the cutting operation unit and the guide rail of the block cart and the sheet cart, a robot external shaft being parallel to the cart guide rail and extending over two fast moving table waiting stations of the cutting operation unit; and a waste material conveying device arranged below the two cutting stations of the cutting operation unit. The present invention can effectively increase material utilization efficiency and further enlarge the range in production and machining, and is especially suitable for providing production of small-batch vehicle models and trial production of new vehicle models.
