Abstract
The invention relates to a conveyor device, including a conveyor belt for transporting workpieces out of a cutting or stamping device and a placement star wheel for putting upright the workpieces, which are delivered horizontally upright. The placement star wheel is mounted downstream of the conveyor strip. Conveyor bands which grip the workpieces on top and/or at the bottom are provided between the conveyor belt and the delivery star wheel. The conveyor bands move at essentially the same speed as the conveyer belt and the placement star wheel and are arranged in such a way to guide the workpieces into the receiving elements of the placement wheel.
Claims18
A conveyor device with a conveyor belt for transporting workpieces from a forming machine and a star-shaped delivery element having receptacles for accommodating horizontally received workpieces and placing the horizontally received workpieces substantially vertical, wherein the star-shaped delivery element is preceded by a conveying and guiding unit which takes hold of the workpieces on one of a lower side and an upper side wherein the receptacles in the star-shaped delivery element are arranged essentially horizontally, so that the workpieces are introduced into the star-shaped delivery element in its circumferential direction characterized by the conveying and guiding unit is preceded by the conveyor belt and that conveying speeds of the conveying and guiding unit and the conveyor belt are essentially the same as the tangential conveying speed of the receptacles of the star-shaped delivery element.
