Abstract：

On the engine cover stamping production line, two kinds of overall layouts for production lines were designed by sel--ecting six-axis industrial robots as carriers so as to realize effective verification and optimization for the solutions of robot stamping production line. Then, a comprehensive analysis was made to sel--ect the best overall layout planning, and the 3D model was built for the equipment on the production line. Furthermore, the layout planning solution was realized by FANUC ROBOGUIDE software, and the actual stamping production line models were established as well as the robot path planning was completed. Finally, robots taking or releasing materials, operating the press work and dynamic simulations of material deformation were carried out by software. Based on the analysis of simulation results, the robotic operation path and production step were optimized further to make robot operation path more flexible, simple and efficient moving without any interference. In addition, the production step increased to 11.61 s per piece from original 15.42 s per piece. The research results prove the feasibility and practicability of the optimized method.
