Abstract

1348310 Workpiece transferring WERK-ZEUGMASCHINENFABRIK GILDEMEISTER & CO AG 22 June 1971 [4 Sept 1970] 29265/71 Heading B3B A machine tool production line arrangement with programme control means includes first and second programme controlled machine tools 10, 11; a workpiece selection control; a multiple path magazine 13 for blanks to form workpieces, having respective paths for each shape of workpiece to be machined; a workpiece succession data storage device 35; a workpiece gripping device 15 and a workpiece feed device 18 controlled by the programme control means to take workpieces from any path of the magazine 13 and feed them to the first machine tool 10; and a transfer device 21 constructed as an intermediate workpiece storage device and interlinking the first and second machine tools. The gripping device 15 has a gripper 16 and is movable laterally to align with each of the magazine paths 13a-13d which can be adjustable in width. The device 15 is pivotable to swing a selected workpiece to a gripper 19 on the feed device 18. The feed device 18 is in the form of a two arm lever having a gripper 19, 20 at each end. Gripper 20 removes finished machined workpieces from the chuck 12 of the machine tool. Pivoting of the feed device 18 puts a new workpiece in the chuck 12 and delivers the old workpiece to a storage device 21. The storage device 21 feeds part machined workpieces from the machine tool 10 to the machine tool 11. A device 22 removes workpieces from the second machine tool 11 and places them on a storage place 23. Machine tool control.-The two machines 10, 11 are computer controlled through selected programme for individual workpiece batches. Programmes and instructions may be on punched tape or cards or magnetized plates. Each workpiece has a rating depending on its machining time and optimum machining control ensures a queue of workpieces in storage device 21 that ends between limit switches 29, 30. When the queue falls outside these limits the next-workpiece for machine tool 10 is selected with a long or short machining time depending upon whether the queue is too long or too short. If this control is not sufficient to prevent the storage device 21 from filling up or the machine tool 11 from becoming idle, the programmes for the machine tools 10 and 11 can be exchanged until optimum queue conditions prevail.
