Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for removing processed, positionally oriented workpieces from a production plant, wherein the production plant z. B. may be a press, in particular a large-scale transfer press, a press line, a transfer press or the like.
  • productivity has been increased considerably in recent years.
  • today's production speed is often no longer limited by the production speed of the actual production line but by the speed with which the workpieces or press parts produced by the production lines can be conveyed away from the line.
  • Next example shows the DE 198 50 964 A1 (Müller-Weingarten ) a device for the transport of workpiece parts, which adhere to the last processing stage of a Large step-press connects.
  • the workpieces are placed after the press through an empty level on a, preferably designed as a clock conveyor, conveyor, with specific part-specific templates are provided to obtain a defined support of the workpieces.
  • the templates are then lowered, whereby the parts on an underlying parts storage of a transport device, eg. B. a trolley, come to rest.
  • the parts are transported in a transport step to the subsequent transport stage within the cycle conveyor (eg a control stage or the end-side removal stage).
  • the part can be picked up correctly by an industrial robot and placed in a stacking magazine.
  • the WO 2006/047902 A1 discloses a transport system provided with a workpiece transport device comprising a workpiece carriage, a workpiece carriage track, a first unloader and a second unloader.
  • the workpiece carriage is designed to receive and transport at least one workpiece produced by a production facility and to be movable back and forth along the workpiece carriage path optionally between a workpiece carriage loading position and a first or a second workpiece carriage unloading position.
  • the workpiece carriage loading position is located in the immediate vicinity of the production line, the first workpiece carriage unloading position further away from the production line, and the second workpiece carriage unloading position further away from the production line.
  • the first unloader is for unloading a workpiece from the workpiece carriage which is in the first workpiece carriage unloading position while the second unloading device is for unloading a workpiece from the workpiece carriage at the second workpiece carriage unloading position.
  • the two unloading devices can be operated simultaneously and independently of each other.
  • the EP 1 072 542 B1 (ThyssenKrupp Drauz ) relates to a stacking plant for presses for sheet metal forming.
  • This comprises a conveyor belt with a plurality of strip-shaped sub-conveyor belts, four stacking stations arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt and four stacking robots associated therewith.
  • the transfer press initially places the finished pressed parts on a shelf.
  • the conveyor belt connects to the shelf.
  • Two removal robots place the parts on the rack in the working cycle of the press the conveyor belt off;
  • the conveyor then transports the parts in the working cycle of the press to the first stacking stations.
  • Parallel to the conveyor belt one container loading line and two container conveyor lines are set up on each side, they pick up the empty or full containers.
  • Four stacking stations are arranged one behind the other on each container loading path, and in each case two stacking robots are mounted suspended between each two opposite stacking stations, above the conveyor belt. The parts are taken alternately in the different stations of the conveyor belt.
  • the known devices have a complicated structure. It has also been shown that the maintenance of the workpiece orientation and the location and location exact removal make high demands both on the mechanical transport devices as well as their control.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a the above-mentioned technical field associated device for removing processed workpieces from a production plant, which copes with high production rates, has a simple structure and allows a location and location accurate removal of the workpieces.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a corresponding method for removing processed workpieces from a production plant.
  • the intermediate stations and converting devices are designed and arranged such that position-oriented workpieces, in particular formed parts, which have been completed by the production plant, can be successively successively moved into the successively arranged intermediate stations, an orientation of the workpieces being maintained.
  • the intermediate stations are arranged one behind the other, d. H. a workpiece is first stored in a tray of a first intermediate station, said first intermediate station is the output of the production plant closest. If the workpiece is not taken directly from a removal device of the first clipboard and transported to a workpiece tray, the workpiece is detected by a conversion device and transported to the next intermediate station. This next intermediate station is opposite the output of the production plant with respect to the first intermediate station. Again, the workpiece is either removed from a removal device of the second intermediate station or transported by a further conversion device to a third intermediate station (if present).
  • One or more workpieces are transported per transport step, in particular as many as were completed during a production step. Depending on the type and design of the production plant, this number may change from one step to the next, but is usually constant in the course of a production run.
  • All steps a) -f) are thus carried out only in relation to those workpieces which are transported at least to the second intermediate station. Other workpieces are already removed in the first intermediate station, so that only the above steps a) and b) are executed for these workpieces. If there are more than two intermediate stations, some of the workpieces will continue to be converted to a third or possibly fourth intermediate station. In this case, the above-mentioned steps a) - e) are executed, but the removal takes place only in another intermediate station.
  • the removal of a workpiece from the production plant can be effected by a device of the production plant itself, by the device according to the invention or by a device independent of both the production plant and the device according to the invention.
  • the intermediate stations with fixed shelves can be formed easily and inexpensively. In essence, only a stable, stationary device is needed, for. B. a table of suitable size or a holding device for part tester.
  • Such part-esters have a geometry which is adapted to the workpieces to be picked up and ensure that the orientation of the workpieces on the shelves remains unchanged. Furthermore, they prevent any damage to the stored workpieces.
  • the parts testers are also adapted to the number of workpieces transported in one step.
  • Suitable conversion devices which can convert a workpiece or a plurality of workpieces from a fixed first position to a fixed second position and thereby retain the orientation of the workpieces (in particular with respect to rotations about spatial axes), are known in particular from press automation.
  • Such devices achieve a high throughput, in particular they can - in the event that they are used in the context of a device according to the invention for the removal of workpieces from a large-stage transfer press or a press line - conveyed the finished parts readily with the same cadence.
  • the stationary deposited on a transfer station workpieces can be accurately removed from the removal devices and stored in the workpiece tray. As a result, a complex sensor to determine the position and orientation of the workpieces is unnecessary.
  • the transfer movement takes place in time with the production plant, while more time is available for the removal of the workpieces and the transport to the workpiece trays, depending on the number of intermediate stations arranged one behind the other.
  • the produced workpieces can thus be led away to the beat of the production plant and then stored in one of several workpiece trays.
  • the plurality of intermediate stations are arranged linearly, one behind the other in a main transport direction, the main transport direction in particular corresponding to a transport direction of a multistage production plant.
  • This arrangement allows the use of known Umsetzz Roaden without modifications must be made.
  • the known transfer devices can also be used to remove the workpieces from the last station of the production plant, in particular if the production plant already comprises a plurality of stations arranged linearly one after the other in a transport direction.
  • the intermediate stations along some other trajectory, z. B. a polygonal line or a bow be arranged and / or (initially) in a different direction than in the transport direction of the production plant.
  • the space conditions at the location of the production plant can be taken into account.
  • At least three intermediate stations are available. This provides sufficient time for the removal of the workpieces, the transport and storage in the workpiece trays and, if necessary, the replacement of the workpiece trays. If, for example, each of the three intermediate stations is assigned a removal device, the time available to the removal device for removing the workpiece from the intermediate station, transporting it to the workpiece deposit, depositing it in the workpiece deposit and returning it to a starting position is three times the cycle time of the production plant , By assigning multiple sampling devices to an intermediate station, this time can be multiplied. It should only be noted that the workpiece can be removed in time with the production plant from the intermediate station.
  • two intermediate stations may be sufficient so that workpieces can be taken alternately from the first and second intermediate stations.
  • a clipboard is arranged between an exit of the production plant and a first intermediate station with removal device.
  • the transport from the output of the production plant (eg the last processing station of the production plant) to the clipboard can be effected by a specific transport device (and possibly also controlled by the production plant) during the further transport from the clipboard to the first intermediate station and then takes place to the other intermediate stations by means of mutually identically designed conversion devices.
  • the clipboard can be dispensed with.
  • each two adjacent intermediate stations each assigned a conversion device, ie each conversion device is for exactly one conversion step between two responsible intermediate stations responsible. Accordingly, the conversion devices can be designed simply and collisions between a plurality of conversion devices are avoided. Furthermore, the individual transfer devices can be spaced apart in the main transport direction, so that there is space between the transfer devices in which the removal devices can intervene to remove one or more workpieces.
  • a conversion device is used for converting between more than two intermediate stations.
  • conversion devices can be arranged parallel to one another, so that they can be operated alternately to ensure the required capacity.
  • each intermediate station is assigned at least one own removal device. This ensures that the time, which is available from the removal of a first workpiece from a specific intermediate station to the removal of a next workpiece from the same intermediate station entirely to this removal device. Furthermore, a simple construction of the removal device is made possible, and conflicts between removal devices with one another or with the transfer devices are avoided. If the removal, the transport to the corresponding workpiece storage, the depositing and the return movement of the removal device are particularly time-consuming, multiple removal devices can be assigned to a single intermediate station.
  • a removal device serves the removal of workpieces from several intermediate stations.
  • the affected intermediate stations are advantageously covered by a plurality of removal devices, or the number of intermediate stations is chosen so large that the time available for removal is always sufficient.
  • the removal device is formed by a gantry robot, which can be moved along a linear path substantially transversely to a transport direction of the transfer device associated with the intermediate station.

  • the intermediate stations of the gantry robot In the case of a linear arrangement of the intermediate stations of the gantry robot is movable in particular transversely to the transport direction. If the intermediate stations are arranged along an arc, the travel direction of the gantry robot, for example, runs essentially perpendicular to a tangent to this arch. If the intermediate stations are arranged along a polygonal line, the gantry robot moves, for example, along an angle bisector in the corner of the polygonal course, which is defined by the location of the intermediate station.
  • the removal device is formed by a articulated robot.
  • the articulated robot comprises a vertical axis of rotation, and the robot is arranged between the storage of the intermediate station and the workpiece storage, so that the robot arm can be brought by a rotation of substantially 180 ° from a removal position to a storage position.
  • the main transport movement can thus be carried out easily and quickly, with the articulated arm in both positions being in a configuration which allows flexible positioning.
  • the removal device is designed such that an orientation of the removed from the stationary storage of the intermediate station workpiece is variable, in particular a horizontal orientation can be converted into a substantially vertical orientation.
  • an orientation of the removed from the stationary storage of the intermediate station workpiece is variable, in particular a horizontal orientation can be converted into a substantially vertical orientation.
  • the workpieces are offset laterally from the shelves of the intermediate stations in the workpiece trays without changing the orientation.
  • the device according to the invention has a plurality of workpiece trays, wherein each workpiece tray comprises a turntable with at least two trays, wherein one of the at least two trays moves from a receiving position for workpieces into a delivery position and a second of the at least two trays from a delivery position by a rotational movement can be transferred to a receiving position.
  • a new shelf for receiving workpieces is thus available, while the first shelf or its contents can be transported away.
  • the turntable may for example be in two parts or three or four parts.
  • the filled tray is rotated away, so that a new tray is placed in the work area of the removal device.
  • the filled tray or (for more than two-part turntables) also a tray filled during an earlier cycle can then be transported away or emptied. As a result, the time required for changing a full workpiece shelf is significantly shortened.
