Apparatus for transporting and machining plate-like workpieces

摘要

In an apparatus for transporting and machining plate-like workpieces (11), in particular furniture walls, for making bores for floor supports or the like, in which the workpiece (11) rests in a fixed position on a roller conveyor and is held by clamping cylinders for the machining operation, and the tools are vertically movable below the workpiece plane, a guide rail (18) extending over the entire length of the apparatus (10) is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the machine bed (12) at a distance above the roller conveyor (16), on which guide rail (18) a slide (21) is displaceably mounted. The pressure-medium cylinders (32) designed as locking devices are fastened to the slide (21). A bearing strip (29) for the workpiece (11) is located opposite the pressure-medium cylinders (32). The workpiece (11) is held between the bearing strip (29) and the pressure-medium cylinders (32) at the margins and/or edges for transport. As a result, the workpiece (11) is held suspended directly above the roller conveyor (16) and is fed to the individual machining stations. <IMAGE>
