Abstract
In a device for manipulating workpiece pallets, with two parallel pivot arms, each of which can each be fitted with a pallet carrier, each of which is swivelled by a motor and a swivel gear about a substantially horizontal swivel axis, with each pallet carrier on the swivel arm being able to be turned parallel to the other pallet carrier by a motor and a gear about a swivel axis in parallel to the turning axis. In said device, the motors are electric motors, the gear is a combined beveled planetary gear and the swivel arms via a line shaft are mutually coupled for torsional strength.
Claims13
A device for swiveling, turning, and changing workpiece pallets, the device comprising:
- two parallel, spaced swivel arms that are each fitted with a respective pallet carrier,
- wherein each of the swivel arms can be swivelled via a respective swivel motor and a respective swivel gearing about a substantially horizontal, ground-parallel swivel axis,
- wherein each of the pallet carriers can be rotated relative to the corresponding swivel arm via a respective turning motor and a respective turning gearing about a turning axis that is parallel to the swivel axis,
- wherein each of the motors is a respective electric motor,
- wherein each of the gearings is a respective combined bevel planetary gearing, and
- wherein the swivel arms are coupled to each other, so as to be non-rotatable relative to one another, via a line shaft that bridges a distance between the swivel arms, wherein a longitudinal center axis of the line shaft is parallel to the swivel axis.
