Abstract:
A transportation facility in which an object transported while being suspended from a hanger such as a trolley conveyor is transferred on to a carriage of a carriage-type transportation device for a certain section of a route. At the start point, there is an object receiving means at the under side of a traveling route of a traveling body. An object support device is lifted relative to the hanger of the traveling body and the object receiving means is caused to receive the object (W) from the hanger. At the end of the transportation, an object return means is provided for lowering the object support device relative to the hanger to transfer the object to the hanger. In the transportation route, the traveling body is switched to a state in which drive is released and a hanger engagement means is engaged with the hanger so that the traveling body can be pulled and moved by the carriage.
Abstract:
There are provided a press-molding apparatus and a work-conveying method, which are capable of restraining oxygen from entering the molding apparatus when a work, such as a mold or a material, is carried into the molding apparatus.In a press-molding apparatus comprising a heating section, a molding section and a cooling section, each of the sections including an inlet and an outlet for a work, each of the inlet and the outlet is provided with a door, which has a restoring force and is capable of being push-opened, whereby a work is conveyed, push-opening the door.
Abstract:
The invention is to provide a transfer/inspection apparatus capable of inspecting any defect even during transferring and to provide a transfer/inspection apparatus capable of inspecting any defect in a non-contact state during transferring, even if the an object to be transferred is a transparent material. The transfer/inspection apparatus includes a transfer apparatus 2, and a defect inspector 3. The transfer apparatus 2 transfers a thin member 5 in a non-contacted state under control of voltage to be applied to an electrode face, and the defect inspector inspects any defect of the thin member during transferring the thin member. The transfer apparatus 2 is preferably provided with a light beam-transmitting portion (omitted portion 15) at a part of the electrode face for allowing the light beam therethrough. When the defect inspector 3 is arranged by utilizing the light beam-transmitting portion 15, the defect can be inspected in the non-contact manner during transferring, even if the object to be transferred is the transparent material.
Abstract:
A vehicle transfer apparatus (1), which transfers a vehicle body (M) in an up-and-down direction, is composed of a pair of stanchions (2), a lift-unit (3), a tire supporter (6) (7), a lift-unit driver (4), and a tire supporter driver (53) In this apparatus (1), a lift-unit (3) is provided to respective stanchions (2), which are disposed on both sides of the vehicle body (M), and is allowed to slide in an up-and-down direction along the stanchion (2) in compliance with the operation by the lift-unit driver (4). In this apparatus (1), the tire supporter (6), which supports the tire (T) in the condition that the lower part of the tire (T) is exposed under the tire supporter (6) is provided to each lift-unit (3), is adapted to control a linear motion between a tire support position and a passing position by the tire supporter driver (4).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a plant for the treatment, in particular the cataphoretic dip coating of objects, in particular of vehicle chassis (4), whereby the objects (4) are run by means of a transport car (5) through several treatment stations and on so doing are dipped in at last one treatment container (91) and retrieved therefrom again. The transport car (5) comprises a chassis (7, 8, 9 to 12), which travels along the trajectory of the objects (4), at least one pivot arm (50, 51), connected to the chassis (7, 8, 9 to 12), a mounting (61) joined to the pivot arm (50, 51), for at least one object (4) and independently operated drives (32, 33, 56, 57, 80, 81) for the translational displacement and the pivoting displacement of the at least one pivot arm (50, 51) and the mounting (61). The transport car (5) can be used not only for transport of the objects (4) for treatment but can also have a service basket (90) fixed thereto, suitable for the accommodation of at least one operative. The service basket (90) can be brought into any position which can be reached by the pivot arm (51), by means of the transport car, whereby the alignment of the service basket (90) in maintained permanently in the vertical by means of a special device (92). The operative in the service basket (90) can carry out maintenance and cleaning work on all reachable objects and surfaces in a convenient manner.
Abstract:
A mobile lifting device comprises a supporting carriage which is capable of travelling along a specific path and from which there is suspended, via a hoisting apparatus having at least two traction means, a lifting platform which can be moved with a vertical component of direction in relation to the supporting carriage. In order to prevent uncontrolled lateral movements of the lifting platform, a stabilising apparatus is provided which is formed by at least one essentially rigid pivoting member. The latter is swivellably connected, in one end region, to the supporting carriage and, in an opposed end region, to the lifting platform. In this way, a movement of the platform that possesses a vertical component of direction is always linked with a defined horizontal movement. If desired, this defined horizontal movement can be compensated for, wholly or partially, by a corresponding, oppositely directed translational movement of the supporting carriage.
