METODI ED APPARECCHIATURE PER REALIZZARE PARTI DI MOTORI ELETTRICI IMPIEGANTI PALLETS CON SUPPORTO AMOVIBILE DEL PEZZO IN LAVORAZIONE

摘要

A pallet system for supporting a workpiece (such as an electric motor stator or rotor) during processing of the workpiece includes a pallet member on which a workpiece holder can be removably placed. The workpiece holder may have multiple workpiece-engaging sites, each of which is adapted to hold a differently configured workpiece, and multiple pallet-engaging sites, each of which is associated with a respective one of the workpiece-engaging sites and any one of which can be used to engage the pallet so that the workpiece holder can hold a workpiece of the appropriate configuration at the associated workpiece-engaging site. Methods and apparatus for storing and manipulating the workpiece holders are also disclosed.
