FULLY AUTOMATIC MATERIAL-LOADING AND -UNLOADING DEVICE AND MATERIAL-UNLOADING METHOD FOR GRINDING/POLISHING MACHINE

摘要

Provided is a fully automatic material-loading and -unloading device for a grinding/polishing machine (1), comprising a material feed unit (20), material-moving unit (30), material exchange unit (40), and detection mechanism, all arranged on a work surface (11) of said grinding/polishing machine (1); said material feed unit (20) is arranged on one end of the work surface (11) of the grinding/polishing machine (1); the material exchange unit (40) is arranged corresponding to a grinding bin (10) of the grinding/polishing machine (1); the material-moving unit (30) comprises a horizontally movable transverse shaft (31) and at least two material-moving heads (33) capable of catching and picking up a workpiece to be machined; the material-moving heads (33) are arranged beneath the material-moving transverse shaft (31); the material exchange unit (40) comprises an advancing device (42) and a material exchange head (43) arranged at the end part of the advancing device (42); the distance from the position of the workpiece to be machined of the material feed unit (20) to the material exchange head (43) is equal to the distance between two material-moving heads (33). The entire machining process is fully automatically controlled, such that grinding time is standardized, making the machined workpiece finer and more precise, the entire batch is more standardized, the yield is higher, and material-loading and -unloading are automated, thus freeing up manual labor, while also solving the problem of safety of personnel during the work process.
