Abstract
Work cell (10), comprising a support frame (11) inside which at least one working plane (12) is obtained on which the objects to be worked are placed and at least one automatic operator device (13) configured to perform the workings on said objects.
Claims10
1:
- Work cell (10), comprising a support frame (11) inside which at least one working plane (12) is made on which the objects to be worked are positioned and at least one automatic operator device (13) configured to perform the workings on said objects, characterized in that said frame (11) comprises a guide (40) located at a certain height above said working plane (12) and said automatic operator device (13) comprises a support (39) sliding along said guide (40) and associated with at least one drive device (41), configured to translate said support (39) and therefore said automatic operator device (13) along said guide (40) and therefore along said working plane (12).
2:
- Work cell (10) as in claim 1, characterized in that the automatic operator device (13) is an anthropomorphic robot with six axes and six degrees of freedom and said guide (40) represents a seventh axis (X) along which said automatic operator device (13) moves.
3:
- Work cell (10) as in claim 1, characterized in that it comprises one or more control units (15) cooperating with said automatic operator device (13) and with said drive device (41) and associated with a control panel (14) of the work cell (10).
4:
- Work cell (10) as in claim 1, characterized in that said working plane (12) comprises at least one pair of work benches (49) disposed side by side or at a certain distance from each other along said work cell (10).
5:
- Work cell (10) as in claim 4, characterized in that it comprises a mobile bulkhead (42) configured to assume at least one retractable lowered position between said work benches (49) and at least one raised position in which it separates said work benches (49).
6:
- Work cell (10) as in claim 1, characterized in that it comprises one or more front doors (24) and/or one or more lateral doors (25) for accessing said working plane (12), which is delimited by front and lateral walls (26, 27) which are recessed with respect to said front and/or lateral doors (24, 25) in the closed position.
7:
- Work cell (10) claim 6, characterized in that said lateral doors (25) comprise a substantially horizontal portion (29) which, when said lateral doors (25) are closed, aligns with said working plane (12).
8:
- Work cell (10) as in claim 6, characterized in that said working plane (12) comprises a work surface equipped with through holes (43) in fluid communication with one or more tanks (44) positioned under the working plane (12).
9:
- Work cell (10) as in claim 8, characterized in that it comprises one or more outlets (45) made in said tanks (44) and connectable to a suction system for the working fluids collected therein.
10:
- Work cell (10) as in claim 8, characterized in that at least perimetrically it comprises through apertures (46) interspersed with said through holes (43) and each having a passage section greater than the passage section of each of said through holes (43).
