The other end of the link 223 is pivotally connected to a slide block 225 which is supported on the beam member 215 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction. The slide block 225 includes, for example, an actuator 2 such as a hydraulic cylinder.
27 are connected.

Therefore, by moving the slide block 225 by the actuator 227,
Each belt conveyor 219A, 21 is connected via a link 223.
Numerals 9B are moved closer to and away from each other, and can correspond to the adjustment of the distance between the pair of bending machines 7A and 7B in the bending apparatus 7.

As described above, when adjusting the distance between the pair of bending machines 7A and 7B in the bending apparatus 7, the conveyor device 211 is fixed to the conveyor device 211 in order to fix the plate material W on the conveyor device 211 in an immobile state. A plate material fixing device 229 is provided.

More specifically, an elevating beam 233 supported vertically by an elevating guide 231 is provided above the beam member 215.
A vacuum device or an electromagnet 235 that protrudes and retracts from the belt conveyors 219A and 219B is attached to the upper surface of the.

Therefore, the ascending and descending beam 23 is moved to the ascending and descending cylinder 237 mounted on the upper surface of the beam member 215.
3 and raise the belt conveyors 219A and 219B.
By strongly magnetizing the upper plate W with the electromagnet 235, the plate W is fixed in an immobile state. In addition, the electromagnet 235 is demagnetized, and the lifting beam 233 is lifted.
The belt conveyor 219.
A, 219B can transport the plate material W.

As a configuration for adjusting the interval between the plurality of belt conveyors 219A and 219B in the conveyor device 211, for example, a configuration as shown in FIG. 16 can be used. That is, in the configuration of FIG. 16, the support brackets 241A to 241D that support the plurality of belt conveyors 239A to 239D are movably supported on the guide rail 243. Then, each of the support brackets 241A to 241A-2
A pin 247 of each connecting portion of the cross link mechanism 245 such as a pantograph is slidably engaged with each of the vertical slits 241S provided on the cross link mechanism 245, and the connecting pin 247P at one end of the cross link mechanism 245 is bent. Engages with a vertical slit 7S provided in the machine 7A. Further, the pin 249 at the center of the cross link mechanism 245 is attached to the fixing member 251.

In the above configuration, the interval between the belt conveyors 239A to 239D is adjusted in conjunction with the movement of the folding machine 7A.

That is, various configurations can be adopted as the configuration for adjusting the interval of the belt conveyor.

[0096]

As will be understood from the above description of the embodiment, in the present invention, the first bending apparatus 7 is used.
The first transport table 31 connected to the second folding table 9 and the second transport table 33 connected to the second bending device 9 are provided in parallel, and extend over the first and second transport tables 31, 33. Guide rail 37 provided long in the direction orthogonal to
Above the first and second transfer tables 31, 33
A plurality of work storage sections 35A, 35B are arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 37, and the plurality of work storage sections 35A, 35B are provided between the first and second transfer tables 31, 33. The first and second work transfer devices 41A and 41B, which are individually and movably provided on the guide rail 37 to transfer the work, can be commonly used, so that space can be saved. At the same time, it is easy to transfer the work W from the plurality of work storage sections 35A, 35B to the first and second transfer tables 31, 33. For example, if a problem occurs in the first bending apparatus, the plurality of work It is also possible to convey all the works in the work storage sections 35A and 35B to the second bending apparatus and perform the bending processing. Even when one of the processing apparatuses is inconvenient, the work is stopped. Without are possible continuous bending of the workpiece.
