HOLZVBRARBEITÜNOSANLAOB UND HOLZVERARBEITUNOSVERFAHREN  WOODWORKING TREATMENT AND WOOD PROCESSING METHODS
Technisches Gebiet Technical area
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Holzverarbeitungsanlage und ein Holzverarbeitungeverfahren, welches mit einer solchen Holzverarbeitungsanlage durchgeführt werden kann.  The invention relates to a wood processing plant and a wood processing method, which can be carried out with such a wood processing plant.
Stand der Technik State of the art
In Holzverarbeitungeverfahren, bei welchen plattenförmige Werkstücke aus Holz oder Holzersatzstoffen verarbeitet werden, durchlaufen die Werkstücke im Prozess eine ganze Reihe von Verarbeitungsschritten. Dabei ist es vor allem wichtig, dass Werkstücke, die sich in einem Verarbei- tungsprozess befinden, gegebenenfalls einem Puffer zugeführt und dort gepuffert werden, bis sie entweder einem weiteren Bearbeitungeschritt oder aber einer Kommissio- nierung oder Qualitätskontrolle zugeführt werden. Zur Kommissionierung oder Qualitätskontrolle müssen die Werkstücke aus dem Puffer entnommen und entsprechend einer vorgegebenen Sortierung oder Reihenfolge abgelegt werden. Je nach Größe der Werkstücke ist hierfür ein recht hoher personeller Aufwand erforderlich.  In woodworking processes, in which plate-shaped workpieces are processed from wood or wood substitutes, the workpieces go through a whole series of processing steps in the process. It is especially important that workpieces that are in a processing process are optionally fed to a buffer and buffered there until they are either fed to a further processing step or to a picking or quality control. For picking or quality control, the workpieces must be removed from the buffer and placed according to a predetermined sorting or order. Depending on the size of the workpieces this is a fairly high staffing required.
Die Erfindung The invention
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Holzverarbeitungsanlage und ein Holzverarbeitungsverfahren anzugeben, mit denen sich der personelle Aufwand reduzieren läset. Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Holzverarbeitungs- anlage mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Holz- verarbeitungsverfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 8. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen finden sich in den abhängigen Ansprüchen. Die erfindungsgemäße Holzverarbeitungsanlage weist einen Puffer auf, der plattenförmige Werkstücke aus Holz- oder Holzersatzstoffen aufnimmt und puffert. Ferner verfügt die Holzverarbeitungeanlage über eine Ablagevorrichtung, auf welche aus dem Puffer entnommene Werkstücke abgelegt werden können. Erfindungsgemäß ist weiter wenigstens ein Roboter vorgesehen und dazu eingerichtet, die Werkstücke aus dem Puffer zu entnehmen und an einer Ablage der Ablagevorrichtung und/oder an einem anderen Ablageplatz im Puffer abzulegen. Object of the present invention is to provide a wood processing plant and a wood processing method, with which läst the staffing costs. This object is achieved by a wood processing plant with the features of claim 1 and a wood processing method having the features of claim 8. Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims. The wood processing plant according to the invention has a buffer which receives and buffers plate-shaped workpieces from wood or wood substitutes. Furthermore, the wood processing plant has a storage device on which from the buffer removed workpieces can be stored. According to the invention at least one robot is further provided and adapted to remove the workpieces from the buffer and store it on a shelf of the storage device and / or at another storage location in the buffer.
Durch den Einsatz des wenigstens einen Roboters ergeben sich eine ganze Reihe von Vorteilen. Zum einen kann in wesentlich kürzerer Zeit - als dies händisch möglich ist - eine positionsgenaue Ablage der aus dem Puffer entnommenen Werkstücke erfolgen. Weiter ist es möglich, die Werkstücke im Puffer umzusortieren; auch dann, wenn der Puffer beispielsweise beweglich aus- gebildet ist. Durch den Roboter können aus dem Puffer jederzeit Werkstücke entnommen und beispielsweise einer Qualitätssicherung oder Kommissionierung zugeführt werden. Werkstücke können auch in den Puffer zurückgelegt werden. Zudem liefert der Einsatz des Roboters eine größere Flexibilität hinsichtlich der Ausgestaltung des Puffers und der Orientierung der Werkstücke im Puffer und/oder auf der Ablage. Die Werkstücke können durch den Einsatz eines Roboters anders als bei einer einfachen Ausschleusung bei der Ablage beliebig orientiert werden, zum Beispiel waagerecht, senkrecht oder schräg. Ebenso können im Puffer die Werkstücke beliebig orientiert sein, da der Roboter in der Lage ist, sowohl mit beweglichen als auch mit ruhenden Puffern zusammenzuwirken und Werk- stücke aus den Puffern zu entnehmen oder in die Puffer einzubringen. The use of the at least one robot results in a whole series of advantages. On the one hand, in a much shorter time - as is possible by hand - a positionally accurate storage of the removed from the buffer workpieces done. It is also possible to reorder the workpieces in the buffer; even if the buffer is, for example, movable. Thanks to the robot, workpieces can be removed from the buffer at any time and, for example, fed to quality assurance or order picking. Workpieces can also be returned to the buffer. In addition, the use of the robot provides greater flexibility in terms of the design of the buffer and the orientation of the workpieces in the buffer and / or on the tray. The workpieces can be arbitrarily oriented by the use of a robot unlike a simple ejection in the tray, for example, horizontally, vertically or obliquely. Likewise, in the buffer, the workpieces can be oriented arbitrarily, because the robot is able to interact with both mobile and stationary buffers and workpieces. pieces from the buffers or to bring in the buffer.
Der Puffer wird bevorzugt aus einem laufenden Prozess ge- speist. Hierzu kann die Holzverarbeitungeanlage beispielsweise ein Bearbeitungszentrum und/oder einen Bearbeitungskreislauf und/oder eine Sägevorrichtung und/oder eine Durchlaufbearbeitungsmaschine aufweisen, aus der heraus Werkstücke in den Puffer gelangen. Hierzu kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass die erfindungsgemäße Holzverarbeitungsanlage eine Zuführvorrichtung aufweist, die Werkstücke dem Puffer zuführt. Die Zuführung kann sequenziell sein, es können aber auch mehrere Werkstücke gleichzeitig dem Puffer zugeführt werden. The buffer is preferably fed from a running process. For this purpose, the wood processing plant may have, for example, a processing center and / or a processing circuit and / or a sawing device and / or a continuous processing machine from which workpieces enter the buffer. For this purpose, it can be provided, in particular, that the wood processing plant according to the invention has a feed device which feeds workpieces to the buffer. The feed can be sequential, but it can also be several workpieces simultaneously fed to the buffer.
Auch bei der Ablagevorrichtung können je nach Anwendungs- zweck unterschiedliche Ablagen vorgesehen sein. Insbesondere kann nach einer vorteilhaften Aueführungeform der vorliegenden Erfindung die Ablagevorrichtung ortsfeste Ablagen, insbesondere Paletten und/oder ein Regal und/ oder bewegliche Ablagen, insbesondere Gurt- und/oder Rollenbahnen und/oder Bürstenwagen, aufweisen. Also in the storage device different shelves can be provided depending on the purpose. In particular, according to an advantageous Ausfüührungeform of the present invention, the storage device fixed shelves, in particular pallets and / or a shelf and / or movable shelves, in particular belt and / or roller conveyors and / or brushes, have.
Gerade im Hinblick auf die Kommissionierung fertigbear- beiteter Werkstücke kann der Roboter auch dazu eingesetzt werden, auf einzelne Werkstücke Schutzmaterial abzulegen. Dazu kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass die erfindungsgemäße Holzverarbeitungsanlage einen für den Roboter erreichbaren Speicher aufweist, der Schutzmaterial, ins- besondere Schutzpapier, Schutzpappe oder Schutzfolie, bevorratet. Especially with regard to the picking of finished workpieces, the robot can also be used to deposit protective material on individual workpieces. For this purpose, provision may in particular be made for the wood processing plant according to the invention to have a memory which can be reached by the robot and which stores protective material, in particular protective paper, protective cardboard or protective film.
Der Aktionsradius des Roboters kann vergrößert werden, indem er selbst zumindest entlang einer Achse verfahrbar ist. Insbesondere kann dabei vorgesehen sein, dass der Roboter wenigstens in einer ersten Richtung linear, insbesondere parallel zur Ablagevorrichtung, insbesondere auf Schienen, verfahrbar ist, um in der ersten Richtung hintereinander angeordnete Ablagen anzufahren. Auf diese Weise wird die Flexibilität der erfindungsgemäßen Holzverarbeitungsanlage noch deutlich erhöht. Auch kann ein zweiter Roboter vorgesehen sein, der bevorzugt ebenfalls entlang derselben Achse verfahrbar ist wie der erste Roboter. Damit lassen sich die Taktzeiten erhöhen, wobei die beiden Roboter auch unterschiedliche Aufgaben übernehmen können. The radius of action of the robot can be increased by moving itself at least along an axis is. In particular, it can be provided that the robot can be moved linearly, in particular parallel to the depositing device, in particular on rails, at least in a first direction, in order to approach trays arranged one behind the other in the first direction. In this way, the flexibility of the wood processing plant according to the invention is significantly increased. Also, a second robot may be provided, which is preferably also along the same axis movable as the first robot. This can increase the cycle times, whereby the two robots can also take on different tasks.
Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Er- findung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Werkstücke im According to a further embodiment of the present invention, it can be provided that the workpieces in the
Puffer bewegbar sind. Buffer are movable.
Verfahrenstechnisch ergeben sich durch den Einsatz wenigstens eines Roboters eine Reihe von Möglichkeiten. Nach einem erfindungsgemaßen Holzverarbeitungsverfahren, bei welchem plattenförmige Werkstücke aus Holz oder Holzersatzstoffen in einer Holzverarbeitungsanlage geführt und/oder bearbeitet werden, werden Werkstücke dem Puffer zugeführt und darin gepuffert. Die gepufferten Werkstücke werden weiter nach einer Steuerungsvorgabe durch einen Roboter aus dem Puffer entnommen und an einer vorgegebenen Ablageposition in einer vom Puffer separaten Ablagevorrichtung abgelegt. Alternativ oder ergänzend können die Werkstücke auch anstatt auf der separaten Abläge- Vorrichtung abgelegt zu werden an einer anderen Ablage- Position im Puffer selbst abgelegt werden. Einerseits können also Ablagen von Werkstücken zur Ausschleusung, Kommissionierung oder Qualitätssicherung erfolgen, ande- rerseits ist es möglich, den Puffer umzusortieren, d.h. die Reihenfolge der Werkstücke im Puffer zu verändern. In terms of process technology, the use of at least one robot results in a number of possibilities. According to an inventive wood processing method, in which plate-shaped workpieces made of wood or wood substitutes in a wood processing plant and / or processed, workpieces are fed to the buffer and buffered therein. The buffered workpieces are further removed from the buffer according to a control specification by a robot and stored at a predetermined storage position in a storage device separate from the buffer. Alternatively or additionally, the workpieces can also be deposited instead of on the separate Abläge device at another storage position in the buffer itself. On the one hand, therefore, it is possible to deposit workpieces for removal, order picking or quality assurance; On the other hand, it is possible to reorder the buffer, ie to change the order of the workpieces in the buffer.
Nach einer bevorzugten Variante nimmt der Roboter nach Ablegen eines Werkstücks auf einer Ablage ein Schutzmaterial, insbesondere Schutzpapier, Schutzpappe oder Schutzfolie, aus einem Speicher auf und legt dieses Schutzmaterial dann auf diesem abgelegten Werkstück ab. Bevorzugt kann auch noch vorgesehen sein, dass der Roboter in einer ersten Richtung linear entlang der Ablagevorrichtung verschoben wird. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die Ablagen einer beweglichen oder stationären Ablagevorrichtung nacheinander zu beschicken. According to a preferred variant, after depositing a workpiece on a tray, the robot picks up a protective material, in particular protective paper, protective cardboard or protective film, from a store and then deposits this protective material on this deposited workpiece. Preferably, it may also be provided that the robot is displaced linearly along the storage device in a first direction. In this way it is possible to feed the shelves of a movable or stationary storage device sequentially.
Weg zur Ausführung der Erfindung Way to carry out the invention
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichenfigur näher erläutert. Gezeigt ist eine schematische Draufsicht auf zumindest einen Teil einer erfindungsgemäßen Holzverarbeitungs- anlage.  The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing figure. Shown is a schematic plan view of at least part of a wood processing plant according to the invention.
Zu erkennen ist in der Figur ein Puffer 1, in welchem Werkstücke gepuffert werden, die von einer Zuführeinrichtung 8 in den Puffer 1 gelangen. Der Puffer 1 kann so ausgebildet sein, dass er die Werkstücke waagerecht hält. Alternativ ist es genauso möglich, über die Zuführeinrichtung 8 einen Puffer 1 zu beschicken, welcher die Werkstücke in senkrechter Orientierung (d.h. senkrecht zum Boden) hält. In the figure, a buffer 1 can be seen, in which workpieces are buffered, which pass from a feed device 8 into the buffer 1. The buffer 1 can be designed so that it holds the workpieces horizontally. Alternatively, it is equally possible to feed, via the feeder 8, a buffer 1 which holds the workpieces in a vertical orientation (i.e., perpendicular to the ground).
Gegenüber dem Puffer 1 ist eine Ablagevorrichtung 4 angeordnet, die im gezeigten Beispiel eine Mehrzahl Ablagen 41, 42, 43, 44 umfasst, auf welchen Werkstücke 7 abgelegt werden können. Die Ablagevorrichtung 4 kann, wie hier im gezeigten Beispiel angedeutet, eine stationäre Einrichtung sein. Genauso ist es möglich, etwa eine Förderein- richtung als Ablagevorrichtung zu verwenden, welche etwa die Werkstücke 7 in der Richtung X und/oder Y oder auch im Kreis fördert. Zwischen Puffer 1 und Ablagevorrichtung 4 ist erfindungsgemaß der Roboter 2 angeordnet, welcher über einen Roboterarm 3 verfügt, mit dessen Hilfe man ein Werkstück 7 greifen kann. Im gezeigten Beispiel ist der Roboter 2 auf einer Führungseinrichtung 6 gelagert, bei der es sich beispielsweise um Schienen handeln kann. Auf der Führungseinrichtung 6 ist der Roboter in Richtung X parallel zur Ablagevorrichtung 4 verschieblich. Auf diese Weise kann der Roboter 2 die Ablagen 41 bis 44 der Ablagevorrichtung 4 anfahren und Werkstücke 7 darauf ablegen und/oder von diesen Ablagen aufnehmen. Der Aktionsbereich des Roboters 2 ist durch die Linie 5 angedeutet. Der Roboter 2 ist daher in der Lage, jeden Punkt inner- halb der Linie 5 anzufahren. Die über die Zuführeinrichtung 8 in den Puffer 1 gelangenden Werkstücke werden mittels des Roboters 2 aus dem Puffer 1 entnommen und entweder an einer anderen Stelle im Puffer 1 wieder abgelegt oder vom Roboter 2 zu einer Ablage 41 bis 44 der Ablagevorrichtung 4 transportiert und dort abgelegt. Ebenso können auf eine der Ablagen 41 bis 44 abgelegte Werkstücke 7 vom Roboter 2 von der Ablage entnommen und beispielsweise zurück in den Puffer 1 verbracht werden. Möglich ist auch, dass der Roboter 2 ein Schutzmaterial aus einem (nicht gezeigten) SchutzmaterialVorrat entnimmt und auf einem auf der Ablage 41 bis 44 liegenden Werkstück 7 ablegt. Opposite the buffer 1, a storage device 4 is arranged, which in the example shown a plurality of shelves 41, 42, 43, 44 includes on which workpieces 7 can be stored. The storage device 4 may, as indicated here in the example shown, be a stationary device. In the same way, it is possible to use a conveying device as a depositing device, for example, which conveys the workpieces 7 in the direction X and / or Y or else in a circle. Between buffer 1 and storage device 4 according to the invention, the robot 2 is arranged, which has a robot arm 3, with the aid of which you can grab a workpiece 7. In the example shown, the robot 2 is mounted on a guide device 6, which may be, for example, rails. On the guide device 6, the robot is displaceable in the direction X parallel to the storage device 4. In this way, the robot 2 can approach the trays 41 to 44 of the storage device 4 and store workpieces 7 on it and / or record from these trays. The action area of the robot 2 is indicated by the line 5. The robot 2 is therefore able to approach every point within the line 5. The reaching over the feeder 8 in the buffer 1 workpieces are removed by means of the robot 2 from the buffer 1 and either stored at another location in the buffer 1 again or transported by the robot 2 to a tray 41 to 44 of the storage device 4 and stored there. Likewise, workpieces 7 deposited on one of the trays 41 to 44 can be removed from the tray by the robot 2 and, for example, be returned to the buffer 1. It is also possible for the robot 2 to remove a protective material from a protective material supply (not shown) and deposit it on a workpiece 7 lying on the tray 41 to 44.
