Transporter for sheet metal parts in transfer line - has two pairs of continuous carrier rails, connected to crossheads with suction elements, to move parts

摘要

Two pairs of continuous carrier rails (3,4) are located parallel to each other in the tool space of the transfer line. These are moved independently by separate cam drives, and are held in raiseable carrier consoles. One rail pair is connected to the crossheads to transfer parts from a tool stage to the next support station. The second pair is connected to the other crossheads (5), to transfer the parts from a station to the next tool stage. ADVANTAGE - Simple technical construction using few parts and reliable and economical manufacture.
