DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a material gripping device for gripping materials such as iron, nonferrous metals, or plastics and providing them to material processing equipment such as laser processing equipment, punching machines, and fusing equipment.

Since the material and the processing section of the material processing device are generally configured to move relative to each other, there is a problem that the gripping section of the material gripping device and the processing section interfere with each other.
Conventionally, in order to avoid the above interference, two relatively movable
Either two gripping means are provided and the gripping is changed between the two gripping means, or the gripped part is left unprocessed and the other parts are gripped again after the other parts have been processed and the machining is continued again. things were being done.

However, there is a problem with the machining system in re-gripping during the process. That is, since regripping is performed between two relatively movable gripping means, it is unavoidable that errors occur each time the gripping is changed, and especially when regripping is performed multiple times, errors occur. This accumulates and deteriorates machining accuracy.

On the other hand, re-gripping after temporarily stopping machining causes time loss in the machining operation due to errors similar to those described above. For example, when cutting is performed continuously in a laser processing device, it is not desirable to temporarily stop the processing in the middle of processing, even if the error in regripping is ignored.

In FIG. 4, the swing cylinder 45 pushes down the pressing rod 49 and grips the material W with a pressing force F. When it knows that it is in the interference area, the swing cylinder 45 pulls the pressing rod 40 upward,
The upper claw swings upward using its own weight or an appropriate spring force. Thereafter, the cylinder 35 is operated and the slider 33 is pulled in the Y direction by ΔY as shown in FIG. 5, thereby retracting it to avoid interference with the nozzle head 5. Then, when the nozzle head 5 separates from the interference area, the reverse operation is performed again and the nozzle head 5 returns to its original state. That is, the claw portion of the slider 33 is returned to the gripping position by the operation of the cylinder 35, and the material W is gripped by the pressing force F by the operation of the swing cylinder 45.

Although the above embodiment has been described for the case where the material gripping device 11 is moved in the X-axis direction,
Even in the case of a fixed device or a case where a plurality of material gripping devices are provided in multiple axial directions, the present invention basically means that each gripping portion retreats when it enters the interference area, and returns when it leaves the interference area. Since it is a configuration, a similar explanation can be given. Although an example has been shown in which the evacuation mechanism moves linearly using the slider 33, it can also be configured to rotate using a cam, a cam follower, etc., for example.
