MANIPULADOR AUTOMÁTICO DE ENTRADA, TROCA SIMULTÂNEA E SAÍDA NOS ESTÁGIOS DE PRENSAGEM.

The industries are increasingly competitive, which leads them to seek in automation the improvement of productivity, reduction of production time and quality of repetitive processes. Today's automation is the real soul of the business, aiming to leverage and improve production methods and bring self-esteem to the specialists who put this science into practice. It is this technological proactivity that has been making companies more encouraged, with a lot of breath, to face the constant struggle for space in the market, to enhance their brand. Today, it is more practical, thinking about a product, its manufacturing, without even having a pre-estimation of investments, using computational simulators and computer-aided design (CAD) programs, to develop their virtual prototypes. Through these tools companies develop their machines and put into operation, without even having bought mechanical parts, machined parts or use physical strength of a technician to assemble it. This article aims to present the efficiency of a pressing process, which contains three stages for component fixation, automating the entry, transfer and output of finished products. All this is designed, documented and presented in simulations made by the CAD tool itself.
