Abstract
In a workpiece loader device, a loader mechanism is configured to move a loader hand directly held by operator's hands to a desired position. A loader mechanism control part stores position coordinates as workpiece receiving position coordinates when the loader hand is moved by operator's hands to the workpiece receiving position and a completion of moving is confirmed.
Claims4
A workpiece loader device comprising:
- a loader mechanism moving a loader hand, which holds a workpiece, between a workpiece storage part and a workpiece receiving position in a clamp mechanism of a machine tool;
- and
- a loader mechanism control part controlling the loader mechanism to move the loader hand to a predetermined workpiece receiving position,
- wherein the loader mechanism is configured to move the loader hand directly held by operator's hand to a desired position, and the loader mechanism control part stores position coordinates when the loader hand is moved by operator's hand to the workpiece receiving position and a completion of moving is confirmed as workpiece receiving position coordinates, and
- wherein the loader mechanism control part stores position coordinates of a position before clamping the workpiece as the workpiece receiving position coordinates, to which the loader hand is moved by operator's hands, at which clamping the workpiece becomes possible by the clamp mechanism, and at which the workpiece is positioned and clamped by the clamp mechanism.
