DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for storing laser-processed parts, and more particularly, to laser processing cut by a laser processing machine as a step prior to a part supply step of supplying a laser-processed part to a finished product assembling step or the like. The present invention relates to a method for storing a laser-processed part for temporarily storing a part.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of storing a laser-processed part for temporarily storing a laser-processed part cut by a laser processing machine, a returnable box 5 partitioned by a partition plate 4 as shown in FIG. There is known a method of storing a laser-processed component in which the laser-processed component 2 is manually stored in a returnable box.

[0003]

However, it is clear that the above-mentioned conventional method is not suitable for automation of a production line because it is not originally intended for automation of a production line, and that various kinds of small-quantity production are advanced. There are various problems, such as the need to prepare a large number of returnable boxes 5 having a large capacity.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and is suitable for automation of a production line. The aim is to provide a method.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a method for storing a laser-processed component according to the present invention uses a mounting table having a positioning portion for a scrap, and mounts the laser-processed component and the scrap on a mounting table. In a non-separable state from each other, the stacking unit is stacked on the mounting table at a predetermined position determined by the positioning unit.

[0006]

The laser-worked parts are stacked together with the scraps at a predetermined position on the mounting table without being separated from the scraps. Such a transfer operation is automatically performed using, for example, a suction hand.

[0007] After transferring a predetermined number of laser-processed components and scraps to the mounting table, the laser-processed components are transferred in order from the uppermost laser-processed component to, for example, a finished product assembling process using a suction hand.

As described above, according to the method for storing laser-processed parts of the present invention, it is possible to automate the work of stacking the laser-worked parts on the mounting table and the operation of transferring the laser-worked parts on the mounting table to the next process. Therefore, it is suitable for automation of a production line. In addition, under various low-volume production,
Work time can be reduced.

[0009]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a method of using a mounting table used for carrying out a method of storing a laser-processed part according to an embodiment.

In FIG. 1, a mounting table (pallet) 1
A plurality of positioning pins 1a vertically protruding from a flat upper surface
Having.

The laser-processed part 2 is formed by cutting a plate-shaped material with a laser by a laser processing machine (not shown), and is stacked on the mounting table 1 as described later. Positioning pin 1 of mounting table 1
A positioning hole 3a into which a can be inserted is formed.

The laser processing part 2 and the end piece 3 are adsorbed as a set, for example, by a suction hand (not shown) in a non-separated state. It is stacked on the mounting table 1 so as to be inserted. Here, a gap generated between the laser-processed part 2 and the scrap 3 is usually as small as about 0.2 to 0.3 mm.
Since the positional deviation between the laser processing component 2 and the end material 3 is very small, the laser processing components 2 can be accurately stacked with almost no positional deviation from a predetermined position on the mounting table 1. Then, the above-described transfer operation is repeatedly performed on a plurality of sets of the laser-processed parts 2 and the scraps 3, and the plurality of sets of the laser-processed parts 2 and the scraps 3 are stacked on the mounting table 1.

When the transfer operation is completed, only the laser-processed parts 2 are sequentially sucked by the suction hand from the uppermost laser-processed part 2 and transferred to the next step.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present embodiment, the work of stacking the laser-worked parts 2 on the mounting table 1 and the work of transferring the laser-worked parts 2 on the mounting table 1 to the next process are automated. Becomes possible. For this reason, it becomes suitable for automation of a production line. In addition, it is possible to shorten the working time under the production of various kinds and small quantities. Further, as described above, the laser processing component 2 can be accurately stacked at a predetermined position on the mounting table 1. FIG.
As shown in (A) and (B), the plate materials can be shared by appropriately setting the number of laser processing parts 2 to be taken from one plate material.

In the above embodiment, the positioning pin 1a is provided on the mounting table 1 and the positioning hole 3a is provided on the end material 3. However, instead of this, the positioning material 1 is provided on the upper surface of the mounting table 1. A similar effect can be obtained even if a plurality of L-shaped positioning portions for positioning the corner portion 3b are provided so as to protrude.
