Abstract
A production cell for automated processing of workpieces has a protective fence and, arranged therein, at least one production device, for example a bending press, and at least one handling device. A workpiece transfer device for part carriers or workpieces is arranged in the production cell which workpiece transfer device forms a supply position and a delivery position. Here, a delivery device of the workpiece transfer device forms a first delivery path and a second delivery path which extends parallel to the former, wherein, furthermore, a conveyor for optional transfer of a part carrier between the delivery paths is provided on an actuating device.
Claims18
A production cell (5) for the automated processing of workplaces (9) with a protective fence (4) and arranged therein at least one production device (1), and at least one handling device (2) and one readiness position (10) and a discharge position (11) for the workpieces (9) or parts carrier (20), and a workpiece transfer device (12) forming the readiness position (10) and the discharge position (11) for the workpieces (9) or parts carrier (20), the workpiece transfer device (12) having a conveyor device (16) which forms a first conveying path (13) and a second conveying path (14) running parallel thereto, wherein the first conveying path (13) and the second conveying path (14) run above one another and form conveying planes (43, 44) running parallel to a standing surface and overlapping one another at least partly and the workpiece transfer device (12) has a conveyor (33) arranged on an adjusting device (17) in the form of a lifting table (31) or lift (32) for the optional transfer of a parts carrier (20) between the conveying paths (13, 14), wherein the adjusting device (17) with the conveying plane (41) formed by the conveyor (33) can be adjusted by a lift control (39) of a superordinate control device (40) controlling the entire workpiece transfer device (12) without graduation between the first and the second conveying plane (43, 44) of the conveying paths (13, 14) at predefinable height levels.
