Arrangement for the orderly feeding, securing in position and monitoring of hollow knife hafts or the like

摘要

The invention relates to an arrangement for the orderly feeding, securing in position and monitoring of hollow knife hafts or similarly shaped, preferably camber-profiled hollow parts for simultaneous transfer to corresponding receptacles of a workpiece carrier, in order to ensure, for a multiplicity of parts, simultaneous and bilateral working of the edges on grinding and polishing machines, in particular in closed automatic machine systems. The invention demonstrates a solution in which, in a preset short cycle time, camber-profiled hollow parts emerge, unordered, in a stable horizontal position. After separation of the parts, they are further conveyed via a conveying slope into the magazine, during which process the parts which do not lie in the receiving direction are turned through 180@ on a turning device during the further conveyance by means of the previous information of an initiator and are fed to the magazine. In the upper part of the magazine, the parts are received in the flat position, after which they are compulsorily set up into the working position/upright position as a result of the specific design of the magazine, the parts being stacked in the lower region of the magazine in such a way that the last one in each case is released for further conveyance. By means of a subsequent conveying system, a precisely defined quantity is positioned in front of the workpiece carrier. A comb-like strip takes on the parts and guides them to the height of the ...
