CONVEYANCE EQUIPMENT AND HOT PRESS FORMING DEVICE HAVING IT

摘要

Conveyance equipment which can prevent or constrain thermal deformation of a work when an energization heated work is conveyed to the downstream process and can perform positioning of the work easily in the downstream process. A hot press forming device having it is also provided. The conveyance equipment (5) for conveying a work energization heated at an energization position (P1) to a processing position (P2) for hot press forming the work isolated from the energization position (P1) along the horizontal direction comprises a holding member for freely clamping the opposite ends of the energization heated work in the longitudinal direction, a drive mechanism for making the holding member traverse at least from the energization position (P1) to the processing position (P2), and a guide member (54) extending between the energization position (P1) and the processing position (P2) located at the same height while inclining such that the processing position (P2) side becomes higher than the energization position (P1) and guiding or supporting the longitudinal-direction middle part of the energization heated work being conveyed toward the processing position (P2).
