Abstract
An uncoiling, blanking and forming method includes the steps of: 1) uncoiling a steel coil, wherein a steel strip uncoiled from the steel coil is cleaned and straightened and is fed by a pinch roller to a blanking region; 2) laser blanking, wherein the steel coil enters the blanking region, is cut by a laser cutting head by way of laser blanking to form sheets with a required shape, with waste materials falling down and being conveyed to the outside; 3) outputting the sheets, wherein the sheets pass over a magnetic telescopic belt conveyor, and then carried by means of a manipulator or a robot to a stamping process; 4) stamping forming, wherein the sheets are stamped to form workpieces; and 5) checking, wherein the workpieces are checked and put in storage. The present invention can achieve joining-up in series of a blanking line and a stamping forming line and realize matching therebetween, and can reduce intermediate steps such as stacking, packing, transportation, positioning, unpacking, carrying, and centring of sheets and stamping-formed workpieces, and also can reduce the room required for transfer, simplify the work flow and joins up procedures in series, to directly machine…
