Abstract
A transfer device in a simulator or a press has two transport rails which extend in the press passage direction and which can be moved in two or three axes. One or several carrier rails are detachably mounted on each transport rail. For a tool change, the carrier rails can be deposited on depositing supports of the sliding table. Between the transport rails and the carrier rails, locking and fastening devices are provided which permit a coupling-uncoupling operation which is caused by the movements of the carrier rails in the axes.
Claims8
A transfer device for workpiece transport, comprising:
- at least one transport rail which extends in a press passage direction and which is movable and drivable by drive means transversely to the press passage direction, in lifting and lowering directions, and horizontally in the press passage direction;
- at least one carrier rail operatively associated with gripping devices and fixable on the transport rail;
- a sliding table;
- centering and fastening devices that fix the carrier rail to the transport rail for operation of the transfer device, and allow the carrier rail to be taken off the transport rail onto fixed depositing supports on the sliding table for an exchange during a tool change, whereby the drive means is used for the exchange without any lifting and lowering of the fixed depositing supports.
A transfer device for workpiece transport, presses, tooling machines and processing machines, comprising:
- two transport rails which extend in a press passage direction and which are movably disposed and driven by drive means at least in lifting, lowering and horizontal directions;
- at least one carrier rail per transport rail operatively associated with at least one traverse and fixable on the transport rail;
- a sliding table;
- centering and fastening devices that fix the carrier rail to the transport rail for operation of the transfer device, and allow the carrier rail to be taken off the transport rail onto fixed depositing supports on the sliding table for an exchange during a tool change, whereby the drive means is used for the exchange without any lifting and lowering of the fixed depositing supports.
