Cable fabrication appts. supplying casings to workpiece carrier - has pivotable device for extraction of empty pallets to be lowered into buffer store from vertical stack.

摘要

The fabrication appts. has a casing module (GM) contains a number of parallel guide channels (ZK) along which the casings (GH) are brought from pallets (AH) arranged in a vertical stack (VS). The empty pallets are removed by a pivotable extractor (AS). Each empty pallet is lowered from the plane of the channels and tipped into a buffer store (PS) while the next pallet is moved into position for extn. The channels are grouped symmetrically about the longitudinal axis of the appts. ADVANTAGE - Deg. of automation can be increased with handling of casings as independent as possible of different prodn. procedures.
