Abstract

According to the invention, two housings (5) which are guided in the X and Y axes and designed for receiving workpieces (6) can be displaced independently of each other and according to an alternating, cyclic sequence of movements in a shared working plane between an input station (7), a machining station (8) and an output station (9). Drive and guiding means (2, 3, 4) for the two housings (5) are positioned on both sides of the working plane. This makes it possible for the workpieces (6) to be machined almost continuously.

Description

Beschreibungdescription
Vorrichtung zum automatisierten Bearbeiten von WerkstückenDevice for the automated machining of workpieces
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Vorrichtung zum automatisierten Bearbeiten von Werkstücken, insbesondere elektrischen Leiterplatten mittels zumindest einer Handhabungseinrichtung mir einer verfahrbaren Aufnahme für die Werkstücke, wobei die Aufnahme (5) mittels einer Kreuzführung in einer Arbeitsebene zwischen mehreren Stationen in zumindest zweiThe invention relates to a device for the automated machining of workpieces, in particular electrical printed circuit boards, by means of at least one handling device with a movable receptacle for the workpieces, the receptacle (5) using a cross guide in a working plane between several stations in at least two
Koordinatenrichtungen verfahrbar. Hierbei sind unter Bearbeitung auch z.B. vorbereitende Maßnahmen wie z.B. das Vermessen der Werkstücke zu verstehen.Coordinate directions can be moved. Here are also under processing e.g. preparatory measures such as understand the measurement of the workpieces.
Es ist üblich, Werkstücke z.B. mittels eines Roboters in einer Eingabestation abzuholen, von dort zu einer Arbeitsstation und von dieser zu einer Ausgabestation zu transportieren, wobei die Stationen im wesentlichen in einer Ebene liegen. Um die Bearbeitungsvorgänge an verschiedenen Stellen des Werk- stücks durchführen zu können, muß dieses in der Arbeitsstation frei positionierbar sein. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß das Werkstück auch während der Bearbeitung in einer Aufnahme des Roboters gehalten und entsprechend verfahren wird. Die gesamte Zykluszeit ist bestimmt durch den Zeitaufwand des Be- ladens, Hintransports, des Abtransports und des Endladens.It is common to work pieces e.g. to be picked up by means of a robot in an input station, to be transported from there to a work station and from there to an output station, the stations lying essentially on one plane. In order to be able to carry out the machining operations at different points on the workpiece, it must be freely positionable in the work station. This is achieved in that the workpiece is held in a receptacle of the robot even during processing and is moved accordingly. The total cycle time is determined by the amount of time it takes to load, transport to, remove and unload.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Stückleistung der Vorrichtung zu erhöhen.The invention has for its object to increase the unit performance of the device.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Das Werkstück kann dabei entweder unmittelbar in der Aufnahme fixiert werden oder in einem Werkstückträger aufgenommen sein, der von der Handhabungseinrichtung erfaßt wird und dann für die Dauer des Durchlaufs die Aufnahme bildet. Die Arbeitsebene liegt innerhalb des Höhenbereiches der Aufnahme. Falls das Werkstück z.B. bei einseitiger Einspannung die Außenabmessungen der Aufnahme überragt, sind diese vorstehenden Konturen diesen Außenabmessungen zuzurechnen.This object is achieved by the invention according to claim 1. The workpiece can either be fixed directly in the receptacle or can be accommodated in a workpiece carrier which is gripped by the handling device and then forms the receptacle for the duration of the run. The working level is within the height range of the recording. If, for example, the workpiece is clamped on one side Overhanging the outside dimensions of the receptacle, these protruding contours are to be attributed to these outside dimensions.
Durch die Anordnung zweier Handhabungseinrichtungen ist es möglich, die Zykluszeit erheblich zu verkurzen. Da die Fuh- rungs- und Antriebsmittel zu beiden Seiten außerhalb der Arbeitsebene liegen, können nun die beiden Aufnahmen ohne zu kollidieren in beiden Koordinatenrichtungen in einem zyklischen Bewegungsablauf aneinander vorbeigefuhrt werden. Da- durch ist es möglich, jeweils zwei der Werkstucke gleichzeitig zu handhaben und in enger Abfolge zu bearbeiten, wobei z.B. wahrend der Bearbeitungsphase des einen Werkstucks die andere Aufnahme entladen, beladen und in die Nahe des bearbeiteten Werkstucks verfahren werden kann. Der Werkstuckwech- sei im Bearbeitungsbereich der Vorrichtung kann so auf einen sehr kurzen Verfahrweg entsprechend schnell von statten gehen.The arrangement of two handling devices makes it possible to shorten the cycle time considerably. Since the guide and drive means lie on both sides outside the working plane, the two recordings can now be guided past one another in a cyclical movement without colliding in both coordinate directions. This makes it possible to handle two of the workpieces at the same time and process them in close succession, e.g. during the processing phase of one workpiece, the other holder can be unloaded, loaded and moved into the vicinity of the processed workpiece. The workpiece change in the processing area of the device can thus take place very quickly with a very short travel path.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den An- spruchen 2 bis 5 gekennzeichnet.Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in claims 2 to 5.
Durch die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 2 wird durch die Bau- gleichheit der beiden Hälften der Herstellungsaufwand der Vorrichtung verringert.Through the development according to claim 2, the construction costs of the device are reduced due to the identical construction of the two halves.
Der Tragrahmen nach Anspruch 3 ermöglicht eine optimale Anordnung der Fuhrungs- und Antriebsmittel.The support frame according to claim 3 enables an optimal arrangement of the guide and drive means.
Die Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 4 ist insbesondere bei der La- serbearbeitung von in größeren Nutzen zusammengefaßten Chip- tragern einsetzbar. Dabei ist der Ablenkbereich des Laserstrahls der Große des Chiptragers angepaßt und die Handhabungseinrichtung verfahrt die Aufnahme sukzessive von Chip- trager zu Chiptrager in beiden Koordinatenrichtungen. Dabei summieren sich die einzelnen Verfahren, Zentrier- und Bearbeitungszeiten zu einer Gesamtverweilzeit, die von der Anzahl der im Nutzen zusammengefaßten Chiptrager bestimmt wird. Die- se Anzahl kann nun so festgelegt werden, daß die Verweilzeit in der Arbeitsstation etwa gleich der für den Abtransport zur Ausgabestation, das Entladen, das Verfahren zur Eingabestation, das Beladen und das Verfahren zur Arbeitsstation benötig- ten Zeitspanne ist, wodurch eine nahezu kontinuierliche Bearbeitung möglich ist.The device according to claim 4 can be used in particular in the laser processing of chip carriers combined into greater benefits. The deflection area of the laser beam is adapted to the size of the chip carrier and the handling device moves the recording successively from chip carrier to chip carrier in both coordinate directions. The individual processes, centering and processing times add up to a total dwell time, which is determined by the number of chip carriers combined in the panel. The- This number can now be determined so that the dwell time in the workstation is approximately equal to the time required for the transport to the output station, the unloading, the method for the input station, the loading and the method for the workstation, whereby an almost continuous processing is possible is.
Die zweite Lasereinheit nach Anspruch 5 folgt dem symmetrischen Aufbau der Vorrichtung und verkürzt die Bearbeitungs- dauer erheblich.The second laser unit according to claim 5 follows the symmetrical structure of the device and considerably shortens the processing time.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention of an embodiment shown in the drawing is explained in more detail below.
Figur 1 zeigt in einer Seitenansicht eine Vorrichtung zum automatisierten Bearbeiten von Werkstücken, Figur 2 eine Draufsicht auf die Vorrichtung nach Figur 1.FIG. 1 shows a side view of a device for automated machining of workpieces, FIG. 2 shows a top view of the device according to FIG. 1.
Nach den Figuren 1 und 2 trägt ein U-förmig ausgebildeter Tragrahmen 1 an seinen freien Schenkelenden je eine lineare Längsführung 2 für eine zu dieser quer stehende Querführung 3, die zusammen mit der Längsführung 2 eine Kreuzführung bildet. An der Querführung 3 ist ein Halter 4 verfahrbar, der an seinem anderen Ende eine Aufnahme 5 für ein als Leiterplatte ausgebildetes Werkstück 6 trägt. Die Querführung 3 und der Halter 4 sind z.B. mittels Linearmotoren in ihren Führungen antreibbar.According to Figures 1 and 2, a U-shaped support frame 1 carries at its free leg ends a linear longitudinal guide 2 for a transverse guide 3 transverse to this, which together with the longitudinal guide 2 forms a cross guide. A holder 4 can be moved on the transverse guide 3 and carries at its other end a receptacle 5 for a workpiece 6 designed as a printed circuit board. The transverse guide 3 and the holder 4 are e.g. can be driven in their guides by means of linear motors.
Durch diese Führungs- und Transportmittel ist die Aufnahme 5 in einer Arbeitsebene entsprechend den dargestellten Bewegungspfeilen zwischen einer Eingabestation 7, einer Arbeitsstation 8 und einer Ausgabestation 9 verfahrbar. In der Arbeitsstation 8 ist die Aufnahme 6 in kurzen Hubbewegungen derart verfahrbar, daß das Werkstück 6 in verschiedenen Koor- dinatenstellungen frei positioniert werden kann. Die Antriebs- und Führungsmittel sind zu beiden Seiten der Arbeitsebene spiegelsymmetrisch zu dieser angeordnet, wobei die Halter 4 den Abstand zur Arbeitsebene überbrücken, so daß beide Aufnahmen 5 die gleiche Höhenlage in der Arbeitsebene einnehmen. Dabei sind die Halter 4 so ausgebildet, daß sie außerhalb der Höhenkonturen der Aufnahmen 5 liegen und deren Verfahrwege nicht behindern.By means of these guidance and transport means, the receptacle 5 can be moved in a working plane in accordance with the movement arrows shown between an input station 7, a work station 8 and an output station 9. In the work station 8, the receptacle 6 can be moved in short stroke movements in such a way that the workpiece 6 can be freely positioned in different coordinate positions. The drive and guide means are arranged on both sides of the working plane mirror-symmetrically to this, the Holder 4 bridge the distance to the working level so that both receptacles 5 occupy the same height in the working level. The holder 4 are designed so that they are outside the height contours of the receptacles 5 and do not hinder their travel.
Zu beiden Seiten der Arbeitsebene sind außerdem zwei Lasereinheiten 10 angeordnet, die einen ablenkbaren Laserstrahl 11 erzeugen, der senkrecht zur Arbeitsebene hin auf das Werk- stück 6 gerichtet ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, das platten- för ige Werkstück 6 gleichzeitig von beiden Seiten zu bearbeiten. Ein derartiger Bearbeitungszweck liegt z.B. in der Schaffung von feinsten Leiterbahnstrukturen für die Ankopp- lung von integrierten Schaltungsbausteinen. On both sides of the working plane there are also two laser units 10 which generate a deflectable laser beam 11 which is directed perpendicular to the working plane towards the workpiece 6. This makes it possible to machine the plate-shaped workpiece 6 from both sides at the same time. Such a processing purpose is e.g. in the creation of the finest conductor track structures for the connection of integrated circuit components.
