Method and apparatus for stamping and cutting plastic parts
View Patent ↗Apparatus for stamping and cutting a plastic part includes a housing for accommodating a stamping press. The stamping press has a lower tool part, an upper tool part, and a drive for moving the lower and upper tool parts in relation to one another. A robot having a robot arm is constructed to move into a work zone of the stamping press, when the stamping press is open and thereby enable a laser device disposed on the robot arm to perform suitable cutting operations of the plastic part.
1. Apparatus for stamping and cutting a plastic part, comprising:
a housing;
a stamping press received in the housing and having a lower tool part, an upper tool part, and a drive for moving the lower and upper tool parts in relation to one another;
a robot having a robot arm and constructed to move into a work zone of the stamping press, when the stamping press is open; and
a laser device disposed on the robot arm, said laser device being constructed to engage through an opening of the housing into the work zone.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a suction device to withdraw vapor from the work zone when a workpiece is subjected to a cut by the laser device.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the suction device is arranged in the housing of the stamping press.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the laser device is constructed to generate a CO 2 laser.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the housing has at least one zone provided with a light-proof screen.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the laser device is arranged on a housing wall.
