Definitions

  • the invention relates to a workpiece gripper device according to the preamble of claim 1, which is adapted for press automation, in particular for large step presses.
  • the workpiece gripper device is particularly suitable for automatic tooling change.
  • the gripper devices serve, for example, the transfer of the sheet metal parts from press to press, ie for loading and unloading of the sheet metal parts in the respective press stage.
  • the gripper devices may for example be suction spiders or similar devices.
  • the suction spiders comprise a plurality of suction cups, which are held on a plurality of arms of a frame.
  • the suction cups are adapted to the contour of the sheet metal part.
  • the suction spiders are moved by a drive device, which is designed, for example, as a cross-traverse transfer.
  • traverses on which the tooling, ie the gripping means in the form of a frame from which arms with suckers extend away, is held.
  • a generic transfer device is known to the cross members with suction spiders belong.
  • the suction spiders which are also referred to as tooling, are detachably connected via a coupling device with the crosspiece.
  • the coupling device is locked by a locking pin in the coupling position.
  • the locking bolt can be solved by tarnishing on a flat surface of a tooling car.
  • the Toolingwagen has a positive receptacle, which is brought upon engagement of the locking pin into engagement with the tooling.
  • a longitudinal movement of the cross-beam then causes the uncoupling between tooling and cross-beam and at the same time locking the connection between tooling and Toolingablage.
  • the workpiece gripper device has gripper means, for example in the form of a suction spider, and a carrier, for example in the form of a straight traverse, wherein the carrier is connected to the gripper means via a coupling device.
  • the peculiarity of the coupling device consists in a mechanical locking device which is locked and unlocked via a button.
  • the button can be actuated by a relative movement of the coupling device against a stop, wherein the relative movement of the locking device is released when the button is actuated by the relative movement.
  • the drive device is present in any case to move the carrier and with this the gripper means for workpiece transfer.
  • the drive device is preferably set up so that it can move the carrier in different spatial directions and ultimately also along its longitudinal direction and transversely thereto.
  • the movement in the transverse direction can be used to actuate the button, if it is approached with a firm stop.
  • the movement in the longitudinal direction of the carrier can be used for uncoupling or coupling the gripper means, i. be used for opening and closing the coupling device.
  • the coupling device in particular the carrier-side coupling half, can be displaceably guided on the carrier by means of a linear guide device.
  • the coupling device may be assigned a drive device in order to be able to move the coupled gripper device in the longitudinal direction of the carrier.
  • the sheet metal parts or other workpieces can be adjusted along the carrier in the coupled state in the sheet metal part transport.
  • the linear guide device can be used in conjunction with a drive device to perform the coupling movement.
  • the coupling half associated with the gripper device has a locking device with which the gripper device can be locked to a shelf, for example a storage rack or a storage trolley.
  • the locking device is preferably actuated by a relative movement between the gripper device and the tray.
  • the relative movement is, for example, transversely to the elongated support, e.g. vertically oriented.
  • the locking device is formed by index pins, which are provided on the storage rack and can drive into corresponding openings of the coupling half, which is associated with the gripper device.
  • the coupling device is preferably formed by interlocking coupling halves, wherein a coupling half may have one or more fingers, or parallel to the carrier, ie parallel to the Einkuppel- and Extend Auskuppelierisraum.
  • the fingers or other elongated projections are associated with recesses in the other coupling half.
  • the recesses in turn include locking members that belong to the locking device, for example in the form of locking pins that can take in recesses of the fingers. The locking pins lock the fingers in the associated recess when they reach into the recess of the respective finger.
  • the locking pin can be actuated by an actuating pin section which forms the button.
  • the locking pin and thus the button are e.g. oriented transversely to the carrier and thus transversely to the input and Auskuppelraum. If the button is placed on a stop and the carrier together with the coupling device continues to move in the transverse direction, the button and thus the locking pin are transferred to the release position. In this way, by simply controlling the drives of the transfer device, engagement and disengagement of the tooling holding the carrier can be achieved.
  • FIG. 1 is in an extremely schematic representation of a press line 1 with two presses 2, 3 and a transfer device 4 illustrated, to which a transfer unit 5 belongs.
  • the transfer unit 5 serves to create workpieces such as sheet metal parts, in particular large sheet metal parts such as motor vehicle body parts, from the press 2 to the press 3 or also to a clipboard, which is not further illustrated.
  • the press system 1 can only consist of a single, as shown in two or even several presses.
  • the transfer device 4 may comprise one or more transfer units.
  • the transfer device moves one or more straight trusses 6, which forms a carrier for gripper means 7.
  • the gripper means 7 may for example be formed by one or more suction spiders 8, as they are made FIG. 2 evident.
  • the presented transfer unit 5 has a provided with at least one hinge 9 arm 10 with sections 12, 13.

  • form the drives 14, 15 together with the other, not illustrated drives a drive means 16.
  • To the drive means 16 also includes an adjustment 17, with which the suction spider 8 is movable longitudinally to the cross member 6.
  • the suction spider 8 has a frame 18, to which, for example, two pipes extending parallel to the traverse 6 belong. From these branches pipe arms 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 from the end each have a sucker 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 carry.
  • the suckers are, for example, shell-like downward curved rubber elements, which can be acted upon via the pipe arms 19 to 24 with vacuum.
