Bei derartigen Vorrichtungen können durch verschiedene mechanische und robotierende Elemente jeweilige Beschläge nacheinander beziehungsweise gleichzeitig gesetzt werden. Üblicherweise sind die Vorrichtungen als Portalmaschinen ausgestaltet, die ein entlang einer Werkstück-Transporteinrichtung verfahrbares Portal aufweisen, an dem eine Greifeinrichtung angebracht ist. Die Portalmaschinen vereinzeln hierbei aus einem Magazin, z.B. einem Rüttler, die zu setzenden Beschläge und führen sie einer Greifeinrichtung zu. Im Betrieb fährt die Greifeinrichtung anhand des verfahrbaren Portals über ein bereitgestelltes Werkstück und setzt die Beschläge, wobei die Beschläge entweder nur gesetzt oder auch zusätzlich mit Schrauben gesetzt werden können. Weiterhin ist es möglich, dass das Portal ortsfest gehalten wird und sich im Betrieb die Greifeinrichtung und das Werkstück bewegen.Devices for fitting furniture parts are known in the art. In such devices can be set successively or simultaneously by different mechanical and robotic elements respective fittings. Usually, the devices are designed as gantry machines, which have a movable along a workpiece transport means portal on which a gripping device is mounted. The gantry machines hereby singulate from a magazine, e.g. a vibrator, the fittings to be set and lead them to a gripping device. In operation, the gripping device moves on the basis of the movable portal on a provided workpiece and sets the fittings, the fittings can be either set only or additionally set with screws. Furthermore, it is possible that the portal is held stationary and move in operation, the gripping device and the workpiece.

Bei den im Stand der Technik bekannten Maschinen werden jedoch üblicherweise nur jeweils ein oder maximal zwei aufeinander folgende Werkstücke gleichzeitig in die Vorrichtung transportiert, und die mit diesen Maschinen erzielbaren Taktleistungen liegen bei 4 bis maximal 6 Werkstücken pro Minute.However, in the machines known in the art, usually only one or at most two are used successive workpieces transported simultaneously in the device, and achievable with these machines cycle rates are 4 to a maximum of 6 workpieces per minute.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

In Hinblick auf den Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Verarbeiten von Werkstücken, wie beispielsweise Möbelteilen, derart weiterzubilden, dass eine Erhöhung der Taktleistungen und damit eine effizientere Produktion erzielt werden können.In view of the prior art, the invention has the object, a device for processing workpieces, such as furniture parts, develop such that an increase in cycle times and thus more efficient production can be achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung zum Verarbeiten von Werkstücken mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a device for processing workpieces with the features of claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Verarbeiten von Werkstücken, vorzugsweise Möbelteilen, umfasst hierbei zumindest ein Portal, das zumindest zwei Portalbrücken aufweist, von denen zumindest eine verfahrbar an dem Portal angebracht ist; eine oder mehrere Verarbeitungseinheiten, die jeweils verfahrbar an einer oder mehreren der zumindest zwei Portalbrücken angebracht sind; zumindest eine Bereitstellungsvorrichtung zum Zuführen von zu verarbeitenden Elementen an die zumindest eine Verarbeitungseinheit; und zumindest zwei Zuführvorrichtungen zum Zuführen und Bereithalten von Werkstücken. Erfindungsgemäß erstreckt sich wenigstens die zumindest eine verfahrbare Portalbrücke quer über die zumindest zwei Zuführvorrichtungen, und die zumindest eine verfahrbare Portalbrücke ist in Richtung der Längserstreckung der Zuführvorrichtung, quer sowie senkrecht dazu verfahrbar.The inventive device for processing workpieces, preferably furniture parts, in this case comprises at least one portal, which has at least two portal bridges, of which at least one is movably mounted on the portal; one or more processing units, each movably mounted on one or more of the at least two gantry bridges; at least one provision device for supplying elements to be processed to the at least one processing unit; and at least two feeders for feeding and holding workpieces. According to the invention, at least the at least one moveable gantry bridge extends at least transversely over the at least two feed devices, and the at least one moveable gantry bridge can be moved transversely and perpendicularly in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the feed device.

Erfindungsgemäß können die Portalbrücken verfahrbar oder ortsfest über der Vorrichtung angeordnet sein, wobei aber zumindest eine Portalbrücke verfahrbar angeordnet ist. Die Portalbrücken sind dabei ausgestaltet, um eine jeweilige Verarbeitungseinheit in Position relativ zu einem Werkstück zu bringen. Hierbei ist die verfahrbare Portalbrücke in Richtung der Längserstreckung der Zuführvorrichtung, quer sowie senkrecht dazu verfahrbar, mit anderen Worten, die Portalbrücke ist sowohl in X-, Y- als auch Z-Richtung verfahrbar. Eine ortsfeste Portalbrücke ist vorzugsweise so ausgestaltet, dass sie ebenfalls senkrecht (Z-Richtung) verfahrbar ist. Zusätzlich sind die Verarbeitungseinheiten an der jeweiligen Portalbrücke verfahrbar angeordnet.According to the portal bridges can be arranged movable or stationary over the device, but at least one gantry bridge is arranged movable. The portal bridges are designed to be a respective one To bring processing unit into position relative to a workpiece. In this case, the movable gantry bridge in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the feeder, transversely and vertically movable, in other words, the gantry bridge is movable in both the X, Y and Z direction. A fixed gantry bridge is preferably designed such that it can also be moved vertically (Z direction). In addition, the processing units are arranged movably on the respective gantry bridge.

Ferner sind bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zumindest zwei Zuführvorrichtungen vorgesehen, wobei sich zumindest die verfahrbare Portalbrücke über beide Zuführvorrichtungen erstreckt. Dadurch können die jeweiligen Verarbeitungseinheiten je nach Bedarf entlang der Portalbrücken zu einer der Zuführeinrichtungen bewegt werden. Die Kombination der in X-, Y- und Z-Richtung verfahrbaren Portalbrücke mit der verfahrbaren bzw. bewegbaren Anordnung der Verarbeitungseinheiten und der jeweiligen Werkstücke auf den Zuführeinrichtungen, sowie der mehrspurigen Fahrweise mit zumindest zwei Zuführvorrichtungen, führt zu einer Optimierung des Produktionsablaufes und es sind erhöhte Taktleistungen von 16 Werkstücken und mehr pro Minute erzielbar.Furthermore, at least two feed devices are provided in the device according to the invention, wherein at least the movable gantry bridge extends over both feed devices. As a result, the respective processing units can be moved as required along the gantry bridges to one of the feeders. The combination of the movable in the X-, Y- and Z-direction portal bridge with the movable or movable arrangement of the processing units and the respective workpieces on the feeders, as well as the multi-lane driving with at least two feeders, leads to an optimization of the production process and are increased cycle times of 16 workpieces and more per minute achievable.

Im Rahmen dieser Erfindung sind mit Werkstücken vorzugsweise Möbelteile gemeint, wie beispielsweise linke und rechte Seiten von Möbelstücken. Im Betrieb können hierbei sowohl Einzelseiten als auch paarweise Seiten verarbeitet werden. Vor der jeweiligen Verarbeitung werden die Werkstücke in der Vorrichtung ausgerichtet, beispielsweise an Anschlägen, die an der jeweiligen Zuführeinrichtung angeordnet sind. Auf diese Art sind die zu verarbeitenden Werkstücke beim eigentlichen Setz-/Schraubvorgang immer gleich in Bezug auf die Verarbeitungseinheiten ausgerichtet, und Produktionsfehler, wie beispielsweise ein schiefes Setzen von Beschlägen, können vermieden werden.In the context of this invention, workpieces are preferably furniture parts, such as left and right sides of furniture. In operation, both single pages and pairs of pages can be processed. Before the respective processing, the workpieces are aligned in the device, for example on stops which are arranged on the respective feed device. In this way, the workpieces to be processed in the actual setting / screwing are always aligned with respect to the processing units, and production errors, such as a crooked setting of fittings can be avoided.

Ferner umfasst erfindungsgemäß der Begriff "Portal" sowohl zweiseitig gestützte Einrichtungen als auch einseitig als Ausleger ausgestaltete Einrichtungen. Die "Portalbrücken" des Portals können somit sowohl "klassisch" zweiseitig gestützt ausgeführt sein, als auch einseitig in Form eines Auslegers.Furthermore, according to the invention, the term "portal" encompasses two-sidedly supported devices as well as devices configured on one side as cantilevers. The "portal bridges" of the portal can thus be designed both "classic" supported on two sides, as well as unilaterally in the form of a boom.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst die Vorrichtung ferner eine Beleimvorrichtung zum Beleimen von Werkstücken an zumindest einer der Portalbrücken. Die Beleimvorrichtung kann beispielsweise in Form von Leimdüsen ausgestaltet sein. Ferner ist es möglich, dass die Beleimvorrichtung so genannte Leimperlen aufbringt. Leimperlen umfassen eine Ummantelung aus erhärteter Haut aus Leim, wobei in ihrem Inneren flüssiger Leim ist. Wenn eine Leimperle in ein Dübelloch gegeben wird und ein Dübel in das Dübelloch eindringt, zerplatzt die Haut der Leimperle und der flüssige Leim im Inneren der Perle wird frei und leitet den Verklebungsvorgang der Teile ein. Durch das Vorsehen der Beleimvorrichtung ist es möglich, auf die jeweiligen Elemente vor dem Setzen oder Eindrücken eine Haftschicht aufzubringen, so dass eine sehr sichere Verbindung der Elemente mit den jeweiligen Werkstücken erzielt werden kann.According to a preferred embodiment, the device further comprises a gluing device for gluing workpieces on at least one of the gantry bridges. The gluing device can be designed, for example, in the form of glue nozzles. Furthermore, it is possible that the gluing device applies so-called glue beads. Glue beads comprise a coating of hardened skin of glue, with liquid glue inside. If a glue bead is placed in a dowel hole and a dowel penetrates into the dowel hole, the skin of the glue bead bursts and the liquid glue inside the bead is released and initiates the gluing process of the parts. By providing the gluing device, it is possible to apply an adhesive layer to the respective elements before setting or pressing, so that a very secure connection of the elements with the respective workpieces can be achieved.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann die Vorrichtung ferner zumindest einen Kleinstroboter an zumindest einer der Portalbrücken umfassen. Der Kleinstroboter, beispielsweise ein Knickarmroboter, kann zur Unterstützung der Schraub- und Setzvorgänge vorgesehen werden, d.h. der Kleinstroboter kann beispielsweise Elemente vorpositionieren oder setzen und somit zur Effizienzsteigerung der Vorrichtung beitragen.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the device may further comprise at least one miniature robot on at least one of the portal bridges. The miniature robot, for example an articulated robot, may be provided to assist in the screwing and setting operations, i. For example, the micro-robot can pre-position or set elements and thus contribute to increasing the efficiency of the device.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform umfasst zumindest eine Zuführvorrichtung einen Riemen- oder Rollentransport, mit dem die Werkstücke der Vorrichtung zugeführt werden. Riemen- oder Rollentransporte sind wartungs- und verschleißarm sowie kostengünstig herzustellen. Die Ausführung der Zuführvorrichtung in Form von Riemen- oder Rollentransporten kann somit dazu beitragen, die Anschaffungs- und Betriebskosten der Vorrichtung zu minieren.According to an advantageous embodiment, at least one feeding device comprises a belt or roller transport, with which the workpieces of the device be supplied. Belt or roller transports require low maintenance, wear and low costs. The execution of the feeding device in the form of belt or roller transports can thus help to minimize the acquisition and operating costs of the device.

Gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist zumindest eine Zuführvorrichtung Greifeinrichtungen, vorzugsweise in Form einer Klemmzange, auf. Die Greifeinrichtungen können entlang eines Gestells durch die Vorrichtung verfahrbar angeordnet sein, wobei die Zuführvorrichtung in diesem Fall sowohl die Greifeinrichtung als auch das Gestell umfasst. Auf diese Art kann je nach zu transportierendem Werkstück zwischen einem liegenden Transport, beispielsweise auf einem Riemen- oder Rollentransport, oder einem schwebenden Transport mit den Greifeinrichtungen gewählt werden.According to another advantageous embodiment, at least one feeding device has gripping devices, preferably in the form of a clamping pliers. The gripping devices can be arranged to be movable along a frame by the device, wherein the feed device in this case comprises both the gripping device and the frame. In this way, depending on the workpiece to be transported between a horizontal transport, for example, on a belt or roller transport, or a floating transport with the gripping devices are selected.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform können zumindest zwei Zuführvorrichtungen unabhängig voneinander betrieben werden. Hierbei können die Zuführvorrichtungen jeweils unabhängig voneinander vor- oder zurückbewegt beziehungsweise angehalten werden. Vorteilhafterweise werden jeweils mehrere nachfolgende Werkstücke mit den Zuführvorrichtungen zur Verarbeitung in die Vorrichtung transportiert. Die Werkstücke können während der Verarbeitung ortsfest gehalten werden, oder auch temporär in Richtung der Längserstreckung der jeweiligen Zuführvorrichtung verfahren werden. Somit ist es beispielsweise möglich, die Verarbeitungsreihenfolge der Werkstücke - durch entsprechendes Vor- bzw. Zurückbewegen der Werkstücke auf der Zuführvorrichtung - beliebig anzupassen. Hierbei könnte zum Beispiel ein Werkstück zunächst für eine bestimmte Verarbeitung vorgezogen und anschließend wieder in die ursprüngliche Reihenfolge zurückgeführt werden. Dies kann dabei helfen, Totzeiten der Verarbeitungseinheiten zu minimieren und damit die Produktion effizienter zu gestalten.According to a preferred embodiment, at least two feeding devices can be operated independently of each other. In this case, the feeding devices can each be moved forwards or backwards or stopped independently of each other. Advantageously, a plurality of subsequent workpieces are transported with the feeding devices for processing into the device. The workpieces can be held stationary during processing, or even temporarily moved in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the respective feeding device. Thus, it is possible, for example, the processing order of the workpieces - by appropriate forward and backward movement of the workpieces on the feeder - adapt as desired. In this case, for example, a workpiece could initially be preferred for a specific processing and subsequently returned to the original sequence. This can help to minimize processing unit downtime and make production more efficient.

Vorzugsweise ist die Bereitstellungsvorrichtung ausgestaltet, um die zu verarbeitenden Elemente der Verarbeitungseinheit vereinzelt zuzuführen. Damit ist es möglich, individuell das jeweils benötigte Element zuzuführen. Die zumindest eine Bereitstellungsvorrichtung ist vorzugsweise oberhalb der Verarbeitungseinheit angeordnet, so dass möglichst kurze Zuführwege vorgesehen werden und die zur Zuführung benötigte Zeit entsprechend minimiert ist.Preferably, the providing device is designed to deliver the elements to be processed to the processing unit individually. This makes it possible to individually supply the required element. The at least one provision device is preferably arranged above the processing unit, so that the shortest possible delivery paths are provided and the time required for the supply is minimized accordingly.

Vorteilhafterweise ist zumindest eine Verarbeitungseinheit als Setzeinheit ausgebildet, zum Setzen der zu verarbeitenden Elemente in die jeweiligen Werkstücke. Die Setzeinheit ist vorteilhafterweise ausgestaltet, um den eigentlichen Setzvorgang auszulösen, vorzugsweise durch ein von einer Steuereinrichtung empfangenes Signal. Weiterhin könnten Verarbeitungseinheiten als Einheit zum Schrauben der zu verarbeitenden Elemente oder als Einheit zum Eindrücken der Elemente in die jeweiligen Werkstücke ausgestaltet sein. Durch die verschiedenen Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten der Verarbeitungseinheiten können unterschiedliche Arbeitsvorgänge ausgeführt und die Verarbeitungseinheiten können individuell an die Art der durchzuführenden Verarbeitung angepasst werden. Dadurch ist es beispielsweise möglich, die Vorrichtung an unterschiedliche Fertigungsserien variabel anzupassen.Advantageously, at least one processing unit is designed as a setting unit for setting the elements to be processed into the respective workpieces. The setting unit is advantageously designed to trigger the actual setting process, preferably by a signal received from a control device. Furthermore, processing units could be configured as a unit for screwing the elements to be processed or as a unit for pressing the elements into the respective workpieces. Due to the various design options of the processing units different operations can be performed and the processing units can be customized to the type of processing to be performed. This makes it possible, for example, to variably adapt the device to different production series.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung umfassen die zu verarbeitenden Elemente Beschläge, Verbindungselemente, Fixierelemente und/oder Möbelelemente. Beschläge umfassen hierbei beispielsweise Kreuzplatten oder Laufschienen, die Verbindungselemente umfassen beispielsweise Dübel oder Muffen, und die Fixierelemente umfassen zum Beispiel Haltepilze, Stöpsel oder Bodenträger.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the elements to be processed comprise fittings, connecting elements, fixing elements and / or furniture elements. Fittings here include, for example, cross plates or rails, the fasteners include, for example, dowels or sleeves, and the fixing elements include, for example, holding mushrooms, stoppers or floor supports.

Vorteilhafterweise ist zumindest eine Verarbeitungseinheit ausgestaltet, um sowohl Einzelbeschläge als auch Serien von Beschlägen verarbeiten zu können. Hierbei kann die Verarbeitungseinheit ausgestaltet sein, um die Beschläge zu setzen und anschließend einzudrücken, zu verschrauben oder einzudrücken und zu verschrauben. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Verarbeitungseinheit können mit einer jeweiligen Verarbeitungseinheit unterschiedlichste Arbeitsabläufe durchgeführt werden, wodurch die Effizienz der Produktion weiter gesteigert werden kann.Advantageously, at least one processing unit is designed to be able to process both individual fittings and series of fittings. in this connection For example, the processing unit can be designed to set the fittings and then press in, screw in or push in and screw them together. As a result of the configuration of the processing unit according to the invention, a very wide variety of work processes can be carried out with a respective processing unit, as a result of which the efficiency of the production can be further increased.

Fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the inventive device for processing workpieces 10. The device comprises two feeders 1, 2, which are designed in the embodiment shown as belt transports. However, it is also conceivable to design the feed devices as roller transports or gripping devices, or to use combinations of different feed devices.

Die Vorrichtung umfasst ferner mehrere Portalbrücken 3, die je nach Erfordernis ortsfest oder verfahrbar an einem Portal 20 angebracht sein können. Hierbei ist jedoch wenigstens eine Portalbrücke 3 verfahrbar ausgestaltet, wobei sich zumindest diese verfahrbare Portalbrücke 3 über beide Zuführvorrichtungen 1, 2 erstreckt. Bei der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Ausführungsform sind sämtliche der Portalbrücken 3 so angeordnet, dass sie sich über beide Zuführvorrichtungen 1, 2 erstrecken. Erfindungsgemäß ist die verfahrbare Portalbrücke 3 in Richtung der Längserstreckung der Zuführvorrichtung 1, 2 (angedeutet durch den Pfeil in Fig. 1), quer zur Längserstreckung sowie senkrecht dazu verfahrbar.The device further comprises a plurality of gantry bridges 3, which may be fixed or moved to a portal 20 as required. Here is, however at least one portal bridge 3 designed to be movable, at least this movable portal bridge 3 extends over both feeders 1, 2. At the in Fig. 1 In the embodiment shown, all of the portal bridges 3 are arranged so that they extend over both feeders 1, 2. According to the invention the movable gantry bridge 3 in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the feeding device 1, 2 (indicated by the arrow in FIG Fig. 1 ), transversely to the longitudinal extent and vertically movable.

Ferner sind mehrere Bereitstellungsvorrichtungen 4 vorgesehen, welche die zu verarbeitenden Elemente, wie beispielsweise Beschläge, an die jeweilige Verarbeitungseinheit 5 zuführen. Außerdem ist es denkbar, eine Beleimvorrichtung (nicht gezeigt) zum Beleimen von Werkstücken 10 und/oder zumindest einen Kleinstroboter (nicht gezeigt) zur Unterstützung der Schraub- und Setzvorgänge an zumindest einer der Portalbrücken 3 anzuordnen. Nebenbei bemerkt, werden in Fig. 1 aus Klarheitsgründen nicht sämtliche der dargestellten Elemente wiederholt mit Bezugszeichen versehen. So sind beispielsweise lediglich zwei der Portalbrücken 3 bezeichnet, obwohl in Fig. 1 insgesamt sechs Portalbrücken 3 gezeigt werden.Furthermore, a plurality of provision devices 4 are provided, which supply the elements to be processed, such as fittings, to the respective processing unit 5. In addition, it is conceivable to arrange a gluing device (not shown) for gluing workpieces 10 and / or at least one miniature robot (not shown) to support the screwing and setting operations on at least one of the gantry bridges 3. By the way, be in Fig. 1 For reasons of clarity, not all of the illustrated elements repeatedly provided with reference numerals. For example, only two of the portal bridges 3 are designated, although in Fig. 1 a total of six gantry bridges 3 are shown.

Im Betrieb werden die zu verarbeitenden Werkstücke 10 über die Zuführvorrichtungen 1, 2 zugeführt, durchlaufen dann die Vorrichtung, wo sie verarbeitet werden, und werden anschließend an der Stelle 6 austransportiert. Für die entsprechende Verarbeitung der Werkstücke 10, vereinzelt die Bereitstellungsvorrichtung 4 die zu verarbeitenden Elemente, wie beispielsweise Beschläge, und führt sie dann den Portalbrücken 3, oder genauer, den an den Portalbrücken 3 angeordneten Verarbeitungseinheiten 5 zu.In operation, the workpieces 10 to be processed are fed via the feeders 1, 2, then pass through the device where they are processed, and are subsequently transported out at the point 6. For the corresponding processing of the workpieces 10, the provisioning device 4 separates the elements to be processed, such as fittings, and then guides them to the gantry bridges 3, or more precisely to the processing units 5 arranged on the gantry bridges 3.

Die Verarbeitungseinheiten 5 können je nach Anwendungszweck unterschiedlich ausgestaltet sein, beispielsweise als Setzeinheit, Einheit zum Schrauben der zu verarbeitenden Elemente oder als Einheit zum Eindrücken der Elemente in die jeweiligen Werkstücke 10. Es ist denkbar, dass ein bestimmtes Werkstück 10 bei seinem Durchlauf durch die Vorrichtung insgesamt nur an einer Verarbeitungseinheit 5 verarbeitet wird. In diesem Fall wird beispielsweise lediglich ein Beschlag in das Werkstück 10 gesetzt. Weiterhin ist es auch denkbar, dass ein bestimmtes Werkstück 10 an mehreren Verarbeitungseinheiten 5 verarbeitet wird, z.B. wenn zunächst ein Beschlag gesetzt und dieser anschließend an dem Werkstück 10 verschraubt wird.The processing units 5 can be designed differently depending on the purpose of use, For example, as a set unit, unit for screwing the elements to be processed or as a unit for pressing the elements into the respective workpieces 10. It is conceivable that a particular workpiece 10 is processed in its passage through the device in total only on a processing unit 5. In this case, for example, only a fitting is set in the workpiece 10. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that a specific workpiece 10 is processed at a plurality of processing units 5, for example, when initially set a fitting and this is then bolted to the workpiece 10.

Während des Durchlaufs durch die Vorrichtung kann das jeweilige Werkstück 10 ortsfest gehalten werden, oder auch temporär in Richtung der Längserstreckung der jeweiligen Zuführvorrichtung 1, 2 verfahren werden. Die Zuführvorrichtungen 1, 2 können jeweils unabhängig voneinander vor- oder zurückbewegt beziehungsweise angehalten werden. Wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet, werden vorzugsweise mehrere nachfolgende Werkstücke mit den Zuführvorrichtungen 1, 2 zur Verarbeitung in die Vorrichtung transportiert. Die Verarbeitungsreihenfolge der Werkstücke 10 kann hierbei durch entsprechendes Vor- bzw. Zurückbewegen der Werkstücke 10 auf der Zuführvorrichtung 1, 2, und/oder eine entsprechende Bewegung des verfahrbaren Portals 3, beliebig angepasst werden. Durch die verfahrbare Anordnung der Portalbrücken 3, der Verarbeitungseinheiten 5 und der Werkstücke 10, die gleichzeitig auf mehreren Spuren der Verarbeitung zugeführt werden und gleichzeitig oder nacheinander verarbeitet werden können, kann der Produktionsablauf optimiert werdenDuring the passage through the device, the respective workpiece 10 can be held stationary, or even temporarily in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the respective feeding device 1, 2 are moved. The feeding devices 1, 2 can each be moved forward or backward or stopped independently. As in Fig. 1 indicated, preferably several subsequent workpieces are transported with the feeding devices 1, 2 for processing in the device. The processing sequence of the workpieces 10 can in this case be adjusted as desired by appropriately advancing or retracting the workpieces 10 on the feed device 1, 2, and / or a corresponding movement of the movable portal 3. By the movable arrangement of the gantry bridges 3, the processing units 5 and the workpieces 10, which are supplied simultaneously on several tracks of processing and can be processed simultaneously or sequentially, the production process can be optimized
