Definitions

  • the invention relates to a press, press line, large step press or the like with a device for changing the part-specific accessories according to the preamble of patent claims 1 or 2.
  • press line or large step press transfer devices are provided for the parts transport.
  • the transport process is carried out by separate, each press or press stage associated transport systems. These individually controllable or controllable devices serve to discharge the workpiece to be formed from a tool stage and for feeding into the subsequent tool stage.
  • the transport system is designed as a kind of swivel arm.
  • a disadvantage of this and other known systems is the insufficient accessibility of the press. Due to the space-saving design due to newer transfer systems, the access in the free spaces between the sliding table with tool and the press stand is very small. If malfunctions occur during production, access to the press room must be possible. By arranged at a greater height, pivoted locking pin this access is significantly hampered. In the same way disadvantageous is the solution disclosed in GB 21 99 781 with laterally mounted in the outer regions of the sliding tables consoles with pivoting removal device for suction bars.
  • the invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art described above and to design a tool changing device and in particular a changing device for the part-specific accessories so that the accessibility into the press room is not hindered by this.
  • the changing device should be inexpensive and be space-saving executable as a kind of modular system.
  • the invention is based on the idea of arranging the changing device for the part-specific accessories in such a way and to make the movement so that thereby obstructing the accessibility of the press room is avoided.
  • a retracted parking position and an extended change position are provided.
  • the changing device with a recording and possibly with a clamping system for the suction bar.
  • the suction bar must be rotatable about its axis. This rotating device can be either part of the changing device as well as alternatively the transport system.
  • the transport system with the suction bar in the stand area is in a parking position.
  • the upper tool is moved by a downward movement of the plunger on the lower tool and solved the tool clamps.
  • the transport system In the drive of the changing device by means of linear drive the sequence of movements of the transport system as described in 2.. To reduce the required extension path of the changing device, the transport system also moves in a lower position that is slightly larger than half the width of the suction spider. The transfer of the suction bar to the changing device can be done depending on the training and location of the recording by a vertical and a horizontal movement.
  • the invention is designed so that the tool changing device is a kind of modular system.
  • the proposed solutions an inexpensive and very compact design is achieved.
  • the drive for the pivoting movement and the linear drive is fixedly attached to the sliding table, which is advantageous in addition to a reduction in the masses to be accelerated for the connection of the electrical lines.
  • the section of a large step press 1 can be seen from FIG.
  • the forming stages are designated 2.1 to 2.3, with 2.1 and 2.3 are shown only in a half view.
  • the tappets 3.1 to 3.3 and the stands 4.1 and 4.2 can be seen in a simplified form.
  • Retracted in the press 1 are the sliding tables 5.1 - 5.3 which carry the lower tools 6.1 to 6.3.
  • the upper tools 7.1 to 7.3 are attached by means of grips on the plungers 3.1 to 3.3.
  • the transport system 9.1, 9.2 the workpieces not shown in the transport direction 8 are transported through the press 1.
  • suction bars 10.1, 10.2 are pivotally mounted and secured to the transport systems 9.1, 9.2.
  • suction spiders 11.1, 11.2 For receiving and holding the workpieces suction spiders 11.1, 11.2 are provided.
  • the changing devices 12.1, 12.2 for the suction bars 10.1, 10.2 is rotatably mounted on the sliding tables 5.2, 5.3 about the axis 13.1, 13.2.
  • Figure 1 corresponds to the production situation and for this reason, the changing device 12.1, 12.2 in a horizontal position pivoted. Due to the proposed position of the axle 13.1, 13.2, it is possible to position the changing device 12.1, 12.2 below the level of the accessible cover 14 of the scrap shafts. Thus, the gap 15 is freely accessible.
  • FIG. 2 shows the situation of the transfer of the suction bars 10 from the transport system 9 to the changing device 12.
  • the pivot arm of the transport system 9 is in a vertical position and the receptacle of the changing device 12 is pivoted on the same vertical axis 16.
  • the transport system 9 is moved vertically and thereby the suction bar 10 can be transferred in a trained as a fork head 18 recording the changeover device 12.
  • a clamping device for a secure hold the suction bar 10 is attached.
  • the suction spider 11 is in a horizontal position.
  • FIG 3 The required for the extension of the sliding tables 5 vertical position of the suction spider 11 is shown in FIG 3.
  • the required rotational movement of the suction bar 10 is effected by changing device 12. It is pivoted during the pivoting movement of the changing device 12 by a rolling belt drive 19 of the fork head 18. Since the suction bar 10 is held in this clevis 18 thus takes place its pivoting about 90 °. If the belt drive 19 executed in a corresponding translation, no further drive means for pivoting are required, since this takes place exclusively by the movement of the changing device 12.
  • the extension of the sliding table 5 can take place from the press 1.
  • the changing device 12 can be pivoted to change the suction bar 10 in an ergonomic position. The handling of the change process by the operator is much easier.
  • the changing device 12 is executed twice and attached and stored respectively in the end region of the sliding table 5.
  • the fork heads 18 for receiving the suction bar 10 are connected at one end to the pivot arm 20.
  • About the axis of rotation 13 of the pivot arm 20 is rotatably mounted with its other end.
  • the pivoting movement causes the drive 21.
  • the pivotal movement of the fork head 18 performing belt drive 19 is integrated in the pivot arm 20.
  • FIG 5 An alternative embodiment is shown in FIG 5.
  • the pivoting of the fork head 18 is dispensed with and the belt drive 19 of the changing device 12 is omitted. That rotation of the suction bar 10 in a vertical position of the suction spiders 11 performs the transport system 9.
  • the transport system 9 pivots into the change position and thereby rotates the suction bar 10 such that the suction spider 11 is arranged vertically.
  • the suction bar 10 is placed in the clevis 18.
  • the transport system can pivot in a position which allows a trouble-free extension of the sliding table.
  • the proposed solution may optionally be dispensed with the clamping in the clevis 18 for the suction bar 10, whereby a further simplification of the changing device 12 is achieved.
  • the dash-dotted representation of the position of the changing device 12 corresponds to the situation during the change of the suction bar 10 or generally during tool and accessory change.
  • the changing device during production, below the walk-in cover in parking position. In FIG. 5, this is drawn with a solid line.
  • the parking position shown can also be rotated without restriction for both embodiments by 180 °, directly on the front sides of the sliding table.
  • the changing device 12 can still be equipped with a further movement axis.
  • the pivot arm 20 would be movable as a telescopic arm, as indicated by arrow 23 in Figure 5 executed.
  • the movement can be done by spindle drive or cylinder. If the sliding table is made wide and thus the extension of the suction spider due to the confined space problematic this can be placed on the tool 6, 7.
  • the pivot arm 20 would extend for this purpose as a kind of telescope to a position above the top tool placed on the lower tool 6.
  • the pivotable receptacle 18, according to Figure 1 to 3, then can pivot with the suction spider 11 on the tool 6, 7 , If necessary, the swivel arm 20 can be pivoted even further towards the tool in order to additionally optimize the deployment situation.
  • FIG. 6 An exemplary embodiment by means of linear drive is shown in Figures 6 and 7.
  • the changing device 12 is below the cover 14 in the lowered position and the gap 15 is freely accessible.
  • FIG. 7 shows the change position. It can clearly be seen that the retracted travel of the changing device 12 can be low due to the retracted low position of the transport system 9. This stroke is driven by a telescopic cylinder 22. As a drive for the vertical movement and other telescopic systems, such. B. serve a kind of scissor table.
