Combined transfer and storage device and manufacturing line for machining

A manufacturing line for machining, comprising:

• a combined transfer and storage device, comprising:
• a storage level comprising two or more storages that are spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction and provided with storage spaces for workpiece carriers, which are arranged one above the other, for holding blanks or machined workpieces,
• a transfer device extending in the longitudinal direction, comprising a travelling column carrying a handling device,
• at least one machining interface, which is arranged adjacent to or between the storages, and configured for direct or mediate coupling with a machine tool, and
• a feeding interface, which is accessible for a driverless transport vehicle,
• wherein the transfer device is configured to accomplish a workpiece transfer between the feeding interface, the storage level, and the at least one machining interface, and
• at least one manufacturing system, comprising:
• at least one machine tool, and
• a handling cell that is arranged between the machining interface of the combined transfer and storage device and the machine tool,
• wherein the workpiece transfer between the combined transfer and storage device and the machine tool is performed mediately via a handling unit of the handling cell, and
• the handling cell comprises:
• a first interface to the machine tool, which is configured for lateral coupling to a workspace of the machine tool,
• a second interface to the machining interface configured for transferring,
• a handling unit, wherein the handling unit is arranged for an automated workpiece change, and
• at least one buffer store configured to hold at least one workpiece carrier.
