在生(sheng)(sheng)產率高(gao)、生(sheng)(sheng)產節拍短的(de)大批(pi)量(liang)生(sheng)(sheng)產條件下(xia),由于要求上下(xia)料動(dong)(dong)作迅速和頻繁,操作工(gong)(gong)人(ren)的(de)勞動(dong)(dong)強(qiang)度很大,所以(yi)實現上下(xia)料自動(dong)(dong)化對(dui)于減(jian)輕工(gong)(gong)人(ren)體力(li)勞動(dong)(dong)強(qiang)度、提高(gao)生(sheng)(sheng)產率、實現多(duo)機床管理(li)和保證安全生(sheng)(sheng)產具(ju)有重要意義(yi)。理(li)想的(de)上料裝(zhuang)置應該具(ju)備效率高(gao)、供料速度快、工(gong)(gong)作可靠、噪聲小、不(bu)損傷工(gong)(gong)件、結構(gou)緊(jin)湊(cou)、通用性好、使用壽命長、易(yi)維護修理(li)和制造(zao)成本低廉(lian)等優(you)點。
