Abstract
A work fixing device in which the load of the conveyor is not increased even when using a fixed magnet. The work fixing device comprises: plurality of plates, on each plate of the plurality of plates a work with a ferromagnetic portion being mounted; a transporter for endlessly connecting and circulating the plurality of plates; at least one machining head provided above the transporter, a magnet fixed to the transporter, the magnet fixing the work, which is transported by the transporter, through magnetic force on each plate of the plurality of plates within a working range of the machining head; and a nonmagnetic clearance holder for separating the magnet and the work from each other at a predetermined interval.
Claims10
A work fixing device comprising:
- plurality of plates, a work with a ferromagnetic portion being mounted on each plate of said plurality of plates;
- a transporter for endlessly connecting and circulating said plurality of plates;
- at least one machining head provided above said transporter;
- a magnet fixed to said transporter, said magnet fixing the work to said plate transported by the transporter by attracting the work by its magnetic force within a working range of said machining head;
- and
- a nonmagnetic clearance holder for separating the magnet and the work from each other at a predetermined interval;
- wherein the work is removed from said plate at a removal area where said magnetic force by said magnet will not sufficiently attract said work.
A work fixing device comprising:
- plurality of plates, on each plate of said plurality of plates a work with a ferromagnetic portion being mounted, each plate of said plurality of plates having a nonmagnetic portion and magnetic portions at both ends of the nonmagnetic portion;
- a transporter for endlessly connecting and circulating said plurality of plates;
- a magnet fixed to said transporter, said magnet fixing the work, which is transported by the transporter, through magnetic force on each plate of said plurality of plates;
- and
- a nonmagnetic clearance holder for separating the magnet and the work from each other at a predetermined interval.
