Abstract
Description
まず、本発明の実施形態を図1~図7に従って説明する。
本加工装置は、図1に示されるように、位置決めステーション2と、加工ステーション4と、搬出ステーション6とを備えている。各ステーションに亘ってレール10が設けられている。後述するワークを固定するテーブル8は、これらステーション2、4及び6を順に移動することができる。搬出ステーション6の側方から位置決めステーション2の側方にかけてレール12が設けられている。搬出ステーション6で完成品の搬出を終えたテーブル8は、図示しないコンベヤ等により搬出ステーション6側方のレール12上に移動される。さらに、テーブル8は、位置決めステーション2の側方の待機位置14までレール12に沿って移動される。待機位置14にあるテーブル8は、図示しないコンベヤ等により搬入ステーション2に再び移動される。なお、各テーブル8には、レール10及び12上を転動する車輪Wが設けられている。図の例では、計4つのテーブル8が設けられており、これらテーブル8はいずれも同じ仕様を有している。
他方、位置決めステーション2には、昇降用アクチュエータ42により昇降可能な位置決めステーションベース44が設けられている。位置決めステーションベース44は、位置決め用ストッパ16をその使用位置に押し上げるストッパ用アクチュエータ46と、第1の押圧部材20を駆動する第1の押圧用アクチュエータ48と、及び第2の押圧部材24を駆動する第2の押圧用アクチュエータ50とを備えている。さらに、位置決めステーションベース44は、テーブル8の被係合部材40の開口部38に係合可能な、第1の係合部材52を備えている。第1の係合部材52は、上方に向けられた円錐台部分を有している。
また上記実施形態において、各テーブル8にブランク材B1及びB2の幅方向の位置決め、すなわち図1における押圧部材20及び24による押圧方向とは直角方向の位置決めを行うガイド部材を設けてもよい。詳細には、図1の搬出ステーション6にあるテーブル8及び待機位置14にあるテーブル8にのみ図示している。すなわち、第1のブランク材B1に対してその幅方向の位置決めをなすガイド部材80と、第2のブランク材B2に対してその幅方向の位置決めをなすガイド部材82とが上述したガイド部材となる。ガイド部材80及び82は、図示のように、それぞれ第1及び第2のブランク材B1及びB2に当接する使用位置と、この使用位置から後退した非使用位置との間で移動可能である。これらガイド部材80及び82の移動は、押圧部材20及び24と同じように、位置決めステーション2及び加工ステーション4にそれぞれ設けられた図示しないアクチュエータにより移動される。
