Verfahren zur Auswahl eines Werkzeuges und Werkzeugauswaehlanordnung

摘要

Tools having a code number are placed in individual tool positions on an endless conveyor from which they are to be selected. A separate identification switch associated with each tool position on the conveyor is set with a coded number representing the tool in the associated tool position on the conveyor. As the conveyor is moved, selector switch means are closed in accordance with the movement of the conveyor to sequentially qualify identification switches associated with particular tool positions on the conveyor. A light is provided adjacent each identification switch associated with each tool position on the conveyor and the selector switch means includes means for energizing the light adjacent the selector switch qualified thereby. On qualifying the identification switch associated with the position of a desired tool, the conveyor is first slowed and then stopped.
