Abstract
Aspects of the invention relate to a method and a device for transferring work pieces. In the method, at least one first handling device positions and/or securely holds at least one workpiece in a working region of a shaping machine, and, in at least one shaping process in the shaping machine, the at least one first handling device subsequently transfers the workpiece to at least one second handling device. The at least one workpiece is then aligned in a predetermined (or predeterminable) position when it is received by the at least one second handling device with the assistance of the at least one positioning means and a positioning aid.
Claims24
A method for transferring workpieces comprising
- positioning at least one workpiece in a working region of a shaping machine with at least one first handling device, such that the at least one workpiece is securely held;
- subsequently transferring the at least one workpiece to at least one second handling device during at least one shaping process in the shaping machine;
- and
- producing at least one positioning aid during the at least one shaping process, such that the positioning aid cooperates with at least one positioning means for the second handling device.
A device for transferring workpieces comprising:
- at least one first handling device for positioning and/or securely holding at least one workpiece in a working region of a shaping machine;
- at least one second handling device for positioning and/or securely holding the at least one workpiece in a working region of an additional processing machine, wherein the at least one first handling device is configured to transfer the at least one workpiece to the at least one second handling device, and
- one or more positioning aids being provided on the at least one second handling device for aligning the at least one workpiece in any of a predetermined or predeterminable position, such that the at least one workpiece includes at least one of the one or more positioning aids that cooperates with at least one positioning means.
