With the widespread adoption and advancement of sheet-metal stamping processes, industrial robotics has emerged as a major industry in China. However, the sector’s level of automation remains relatively low; most companies still rely on manual labor combined with semi‑automated operations, resulting in both low production efficiency and frequent workplace accidents. The integrated application of industrial robots with CNC machine tools is transforming smart manufacturing and digital workshops—along with intelligent factories—from conceptual ideas into tangible realities.

The high-speed Miniload storage and retrieval system, independently developed for industrial robots, features rapid operation, lightweight construction, low noise, and stable performance. It can achieve a travel speed of up to 6 meters per second, with each unit capable of meeting a throughput requirement of 100 pick-and-place cycles per hour, thereby providing robust support for the efficient operation of logistics centers and enabling swift responses to production material‑request needs. It is also integrated with a goods‑to‑person picking system.

Based on preliminary research and analysis, given the warehouse’s diverse inventory of over 8,000 SKUs, stringent picking‑efficiency requirements, and limited available picking space, SINOMACH has introduced a new picking solution: three GTP goods‑to‑person picking workstations, each capable of handling more than 800 order lines.

In addition to the goods‑to‑person picking system, we have also provided customers with an intelligent voice‑guided picking solution that integrates seamlessly with the AGV system. Leveraging the AGVs’ mobility, high flexibility, strong controllability, and robust transport capacity, this solution frees pickers’ hands and boosts picking efficiency. Coupled with intelligent path optimization and scheduling from the upper‑level WMS, it enables integrated material picking and delivery operations within the warehouse, reducing handover points and significantly enhancing workshop logistics efficiency.
Through automated conveyor systems and intelligent logistics equipment such as bin elevators, the facility can meet requirements for automated material transport across multiple floors, emergency material requests, and anomaly handling, thereby achieving efficient material handling.

What is a feeding robot? It is a new type of equipment specifically developed to enable automated, unmanned production, tailored to the operational characteristics of feeding machines. It can replace manual labor at each stamping station, handling material loading, unloading, and transfer tasks, with the entire production line achieving an efficiency of just 5 seconds per cycle. This equipment is particularly well-suited for repetitive, hazardous, high‑cycle processes such as stamping. Flexible automated stamping lines typically consist of a tandem‑acting or multi‑link single‑acting press paired with four to five single‑acting presses arranged in a continuous flow, producing large automotive body panels with high safety and excellent stamping quality. The production line is equipped with automated loading and unloading systems. So, what are the key features and advantages of this innovative equipment? Let’s take a look: What are the benefits of a stamping feeding robot?

What do you need to know about multi‑station robotic arms for punch presses? A multi‑station stamping robot is essentially the robotic arm used in a multi‑station stamping production line. It handles the entire process—from raw material loading to finished‑part forming—by performing automated material handling and feeding across multiple stations, enabling continuous operation through successive stamping steps. Such robots typically incorporate servo motors, gear‑rack mechanisms, hydraulic cylinders, linear guides, and other components, allowing the multi‑station arm to move in three dimensions—forward/backward, left/right, and up/down—while employing hydraulic dampers to provide smooth, controlled motion.
