Abstract
In a method for producing wall panels, bricks (9) are partly cut at a cutting station, conveyed to a line-up path (5) and then masoned into wall panels. Bricks (9) to be cut are gripped by a transport and holding device (12; 12a; 34; 49; 66), transported to the cutting station (19, 20; 24a; 50) and cut at the cutting station (19, 20; 24a; 50) in the required cutting planes in the state as clamped in the transport and holding device.
Claims26
A method for producing wall panels containing bricks that are partly cut at a cutting station and conveyed to a line-up path, comprising the steps of:
- gripping the bricks to be cut with a transport and holding device;
- conveying the bricks along a conveying path and into at least one cutting station having a cutting device using the transport and holding device;
- and swiveling the cutting device relative to the conveyed bricks and cutting the bricks in a clamped state in one of a plurality of different cutting planes.
An apparatus comprising:
- a transport and holding device for supplying bricks;
- at least one cutting station for cutting the bricks;
- a line-up path for receiving cut bricks and uncut bricks, wherein the transport and holding device is provided with clamping jaws for clamping bricks to be cut and is adapted to be moved along a conveying path through the at least one cutting station during cutting.
An apparatus comprising:
- a transport and holding device for supplying bricks;
- and at least one cutting station for cutting the bricks;
- and a line-up path for receiving cut bricks and uncut bricks, wherein the transport and holding device is provided with clamping jaws for clamping bricks to be cut at the at least one cutting station, the cutting station including a tilting device for tilting bricks.
An apparatus comprising at least one transport and holding device for supplying bricks, the at least one transport and holding device including at least one slideway on each side of a conveying path on which at least one conveying gripper is movably guided, each said gripper being provided with a clamping jaw pair;
- a cutting station for cutting the bricks, and a line-up path for receiving cut bricks and no-cut bricks.
An apparatus comprising:
- a transport and holding device for supplying bricks, the transport and holding device including at least one slideway on each side of a conveying path and including clamping jaws for clamping bricks to be cut;
- a cutting station for cutting the bricks traveling along the conveying path, the cutting station comprising a universal cutting saw that is rotatable about a vertical axis and movable upwardly and downwardly along the vertical axis for cutting bricks in different vertically oriented cutting planes, said saw being rotatable about a swivel axis transverse to the vertical axis;
- a buffer path for receiving cut bricks;
- and
- a line-up path for receiving cut bricks and uncut bricks.
