Press Tending

JH Robotics has been involved in many different press tending applications.  These involve the loading / unloading of product in presses ranging in size from 100lbs to over 500 tons. 

These applications include the automotive industry, oil, medical, defense, and various other industries.  In most cases it involves placing a green or raw part into the press, allowing the press to cycle, and then either having the same or different robot pick the pressed part.  In most cases this involves the delivery of the green part to the robot and the transport of the part away from the press and robot.

In some cases the pressed parts were over 2,200 degrees F and weighing in excess of 200lbs.  These required specially designed end effectors to handle them.  Many of these press applications required force sensing and data storage often to the plants existing SCADA system.

JH Robotics has designed and manufactured many of the presses that it loads and unloads as part of a turnkey system where a specialized press was required.
