The invention relates to a method and a device for the automated handling of resin-impregnated mats of various forms and sizes during the production of SMC parts, by means of a vacuum gripper which can be handled in a multi-axis manner. In order to grasp sections of a flat continuous base and to be able to carry out all standard handling operations in a trouble-free, precise and automated manner, a plurality of suction bells are distributed in a raster-type manner on the vacuum gripper, said suction bells being able to be individually subjected to a vacuum. The suction bells consist of an inflexible material and have a bell-shaped cross-section with a pointed end. They can be abruptly applied to the resin-impregnated mats and sink into the surface of the mats in a sealing manner. Rotating cleaning brushes for the suction bells are arranged in the action region of the handling device.

The invention relates to a method and a device for producing shell-shaped, fibre-reinforced plastic parts. A continuous fibre mat (2) blank, corresponding to the workpiece, is arranged on a clamping frame surrounding the matrix (22) in an automated manner by means of industrial robots (58), and is impinged on in a clamping manner by the clamping frame (24) and in a post-sliding manner counter to a defined resistance. The requisite wide-ranging accessibility is obtained by completely displacing a horizontally-moving unit consisting of the matrix and clamping frame out of the moulding press and by placing the unit back into the moulding press after inserting the part. The inserted part (7) is sprayed with matrix resin by means of a robotised spray nozzle (61). Closing the moulding tool enables the part to be draped in the matrix without folds or tears, maintaining a tensile stress determined by the part, said part (7) being moulded in the desired shell shape at the same time as the matrix resin is pressed into the spaces between the fibres and air contained therein is pushed out. The fibre mat (7) impregnated with resin is kept for a given period of time in the moulded and pressed condition, the matrix resin being thermally hardened inside the moulding tool (21). After opening the moulding tool (21), the plastic part is removed and trimmed.

The invention relates to a method for cleaning at least one surface (12) of a component (10), using a cleaning device (14), wherein the surface (12) of the component is cleaned by a cleaning head (18) movable by a positioning device (16), said cleaning head (18) exerting a contact pressure on the component (10). The positioning device (16) has a rough positioning system (20) and a fine positioning system (22), wherein the cleaning head (18) is moved in a force controlled manner by the fine positioning system (22) in at least one direction of movement (24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34). The invention also relates to a corresponding cleaning device for implementing the inventive method.

The invention relates to a device for detaching a fully pressed workpiece, particularly a workpiece made of duroplast, from a die and for removing said workpiece (19) from the molding press (12). In order to be able to carefully detach and remove randomly shaped press-molded parts from the die, a removing gripper (14, 14', 14'') that is preferably operable by an industrial robot is configured as a workpiece-adapted, dimensionally stable bell-shaped suction device which covers the entire workpiece (19) to the edge thereof in a manner that corresponds to the shape thereof. A support (27, 45, 51) which is made of a soft material and is disposed on the contact side of the bell-shaped suction device can be sealably rested against the workpiece. Mutually sealing pockets (29, 29', 29'' ) which can be individually impinged upon by a vacuum are incorporated into said support (27, 45, 51). Each separate and mutually reactionless vacuum joint (30) is provided with a monitoring device (33) which emits a signal if the vacuum drops below a threshold value. Several pressure rams (36) which can be placed on facing surfaces of the lower die and by means of which the removing gripper (14, 14', 14'') can be pressed away from the lower die (24) are mounted on the edge of the bell-shaped suction device.

The invention relates to an adhesive application tool (10) and to a method for the automated and serial application of adhesive tape, especially onto surface parts of vehicle bodies. The adhesive application tool is provided with a support (12) for accommodating a roll (14) wound with adhesive tape (15) that is to be applied, with an application roller (28) for applying the adhesive tape (15) that is pulled off the roll (14), and with a holding device (20). Said holding device is located in front of the application roller (28) and is provided for holding the adhesive tape (15), which is pulled off the roll (14), ready between two application processes. The holding device (20) additionally serves to press adhesive tape (15), which is held ready, onto the surface to be adhered, for initiating an application process. A transfer from adhesive tape (15) pressed on by the holding device (20) is effected by the application roller (28) after the adhesive application tool is advanced. Said application roller can be extended toward (9) the adhesive tape (15) in a manner that is essentially perpendicular to the plane of the pressed-on adhesive tape (15), and is used for pressing on the adhesive tape (15) in a force-controlled manner.

The invention relates to a device for intermittently conveying and positioning vehicles (1) along a machining line (10), said vehicles rolling on their own wheels (5). Conveying systems such as plate conveyors (32) or drag chain conveyors (13) with which the vehicles can be lifted and moved on to the next stage, are allocated to the vehicle wheels (5) on each side of the vehicle. The aim of the invention is to provide a device of this type which is suitable for automation, which can be used for vehicles of different types and which can position and align the vehicles transversally and longitudinally accurately and efficiently. At each workstation (11), a prismatic wheel trough (15, 36) is therefore allocated to each of the two wheel tracks (9). Said troughs are able to accommodate wheels (5) of different sizes in the same position. The vehicle wheels (5) are supported in the troughs in such a way that they can move crosswise. A wheel contact plate (21, 37) is arranged at a certain distance from each wheel trough (15, 36). These wheel contact plates (21, 37) support the wheels (5) of the other vehicle axle in such a way that they can move crosswise. The wheel contact plates (21, 37) can be configured to cover all of the various centre distances (A) of the different types of vehicles processed in the machining line (10). The same applies to the breadth (B) of the roll-off tracks (9) of the wheel troughs (15, 36) and the wheel contact plates (21, 37). A pair of moveable, guided centering rims (25, 25') which project above the roll-off level of the roll-off tracks (9) are allocated respectively to the wheel troughs (15, 36) and the wheel contact plates (21, 37). These rims (25, 25') can be applied to the mirror-inverted sides (6) of the vehicle tyres (5) and can be moved crosswise to the direction of travel (X) and positively synchronously and inversely symmetrically to the centre line (24) of the machining line (10) by means of a centring mechanism (26).

The invention relates to a method and device for automated application of lacquer film, which is integrated into a film composite (5), to a bodywork part (3) by means of a robot-guided application tool. An adhesive-side protective strip (8) is removed in a tool integrated manner and the stretched film blank is applied to the bodywork part by means of a doctor above the application point in the presence of a visible protective strip in a tool integrated manner. In order to exclusively use two-layered film composites (5) and therefore simple application tools, the film composite which is individually and disposed on a hard substrate in a forcibly flat manner is received by means of an adhesive strip which is stored in a tool integrated manner on a roller and which can be subsequently rolled up after use inside the tool in question whereby it can be applied to the film composite by means of a doctor in a tool integrated manner. The transferred lacquer film blank is then applied to the bodywork part after the adhesive side has been uncovered. The adhesive strip is used as a protective strip. The adhesive strip (31) is then removed from the applied lacquer film. Said strip can then be re-used in a subsequent application process in the application tool. The active working section of the adhesive strip can be automatically renewed inside the tool after it has been used several times.
