Workpieces transporting method for use between processing locations of processing system, involves clamping workpieces at processing locations by gripping device, and transporting workpieces and gripping device together

摘要

The method involves clamping workpieces (6) at processing locations (4, 5) by a gripping device (10), and handling the workpieces by a handling device (14), where the workpieces remain connected with the gripping device. The workpieces and the gripping device are transported together. The gripping device with the clamped workpieces is decoupled from the handling device. The gripping device with the clamped workpieces is conveyed on a non-stationary system (25), where the handling device is formed as a multi-axle manipulator. An independent claim is also included for a device for transporting workpieces between processing locations.
