Apparatus for loading and/or unloading machine tools or the like

摘要

A device for loading and/or unloading machine tools, conveyor belts and the like, with blanks or finished components, comprises a workpiece store or magazine (1) consisting of a stack (2) of pallets (3) positioned loosely one on top of another and each having receptacles for workpieces. A transporter (5) takes pallets one after the other from the stack and transports them to an unloading and/or loading station (a) to which the pallets are shifted in timed sequence, and the workpieces are removed by a sequence-timed loading and/or unloading device (7), fed to a machine tool or suchlike, and returned again after machining has taken place. After it has been worked through each pallet is then deposited at a receiving station (11) by the transporter.
