  • the workpiece transfer device holds the workpiece using a tool.
  • the tool is generally a unit formed by disposing a workpiece holding means (e.g., a plurality of vacuum suction cups) depending on the shape and the weight of the workpiece.
  • the tool is removably mounted on the workpiece transfer device via a crossbar. Specifically, the tool is mounted on or removed from the workpiece transfer device (coupling/holding section) by mounting or removing the crossbar on or from the coupling/holding section of the workpiece transfer device.
  • a tool replacement device is used to replace the crossbar mounted with the current tool (hereinafter referred to as "current crossbar") with the crossbar mounted with the subsequent tool (hereinafter referred to as "subsequent crossbar”).

  • Pinions 74 that respectively engage racks 75 respectively attached to the right and left movable sections 44 (in the direction Yt) are connected via a synchronous shaft 73 that extends in the direction Yt. This makes it possible to vertically move the right and left crossbar mounting sections 31 in synchronization while maintaining the crossbar mounting sections 31 at an identical height.
  • the crossbar mounting sections 31 can be stably held at the adjusted position by stopping the rotation of the synchronous shaft 73 using a brake 77.
  • the low position (LL) is a position where the center of gravity of the tool replacement device 30 is lowered so that the speed and smoothness of travel can be improved.
  • the low position (LL) is selected as a position where interference with other devices and instruments disposed between the inter-press spaces 11 and the external space 105 can be avoided.
  • the structure of the entire truck including the engagement mechanism of the travel rail 55 and the truck 51 can be simplified by setting the position (LL) as low as possible. Moreover, since the center of gravity can be lowered, the travel stability can be improved.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a state in which the crossbar mounting section 31 is moved upward to the high position (LH), and the engagement piece 76 comes in contact with a high-position stopper 86 in the stationary section (43). Since the workpiece transfer device 20 is selected (configured) based on the relationship with the configuration and the operation of the press 10 (including the die positioned on the bolster 14), it is difficult to change the structure and the functions of the workpiece transfer device 20 for facilitating the tool replacement operation.
  • the high position (LH) is selected as a position where quick and smooth reception and delivery of the crossbar 61 between the tool replacement device 30 (31) and the workpiece transfer device 20 can be implemented in the inter-press space (11) without changing the structure and the functions of the workpiece transfer device 20.
  • the vertical stroke of the feeder arm 21(coupling/holding section 25) can be reduced by setting the position (LH) as high as possible within an allowable range. Therefore, the productivity can be improved as a result of reducing the cost of the workpiece transfer device 20 and the vertical movement time.
  • a related-art tool replacement device e.g., related-art example 2
  • a related-art tool replacement device has a fixed structure in which one position is selected depending on the press system, it has been impossible to optimize the reception/delivery characteristics with respect to the workpiece transfer device 20 and the transfer (travel) characteristics of the tool replacement device 30 at the same time.
