Abstract: An article transfer apparatus includes a power driven shuttle carriage mounted for movement along a first linear path between opposite end limits. An article holder assembly includes a base mounted on the carriage for movement relative to the carriage along a second linear path normal to the first linear path between opposite end limits. The holder base mounts a sleeve slidable along an elongate guide rod whose opposite ends may be independently positioned transversely of the first linear path. The guide rod may thus be located to extend parallel to or be inclined relative to the first path to accordingly enable the sleeve to position the holder on the second linear path or to move the holder base transversely of the carriage driving movement of the carriage along the first linear path or may be inclined relative to the first path to accordingly enable the article holder to be adjusted about one axis relative to the base and driven in rotative adjustment relative to the base about the axis relative to the guide rod inclination.

Abstract: A production line which includes a shuttle conveyor extending between two work stations. A first transfer device for transferring a workpiece from one of the work stations to the conveyor and a second transfer device for transferring the workpiece to the second work station are equipped with workpiece gripping or supporting devices which may be rapidly changed when the line is shifted from the production of one form of workpiece to the production of another workpiece having a different configuration. Replacement workpiece gripping devices are supported adjacent the shuttle conveyor upon holding pedestals. Upon line changeover, the transfer devices locate their workpiece gripping devices upon empty holding pedestals and actuating devices on the pedestal release the gripping devices from their transfer devices. The empty transfer devices are then shifted and coupled to new workpiece gripping devices supported on other holding pedestals. The transfer device includes the ability for adjustment of the article engaging devices in three directions.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically handling a workpiece between automated workstations wherein the workpiece is lifted from an unloading workstation, moved along a predetermined linear reciprocal path between work stations while simultaneously inverting the workpiece, and lowering the workpiece into a loading workstation. The apparatus provides a vertical lift portion and an articulating portion for manipulating the workpiece. The vertical lift portion utilizes a compact design to minimize space requirements and moving parts by providing both vertical movement and rotational movement within a common structure. The articulating portion is attached to the bottom of the vertical lift portion and provides a pivot arm that is pivotally attached to a workpiece holder. The vertical lift portion provides a rotational input to a harmonic drive unit which has its output coupled to the pivot arm. When the pivot arm rotates, a continuous timing belt provides for counter-rotational movement of the workpiece holder. The workpiece is detachably secured by the workpiece holder, and when the pivot arm and the workpiece holder are equivalent in length, the workpiece will travel in a linear path while also inverting the orientation of the workpiece upon completing the linear path. The range of movement of the workpiece may also be extended by mounting the apparatus on an overhead gantry which moves the entire apparatus, along with the workpiece, further along the linear path. A linear drive unit may also by utilized as a workpiece holder to provide an extended reach to the workpiece along the linear path.

Abstract: An article transfer apparatus for moving at least one article from a first position to a second position wherein a single drive independently drives one of two lift arms that are reciprocally movable between the first position and the second position independent of one another. The article transfer apparatus provides a base member that is movable on a guide rail for movement along a predetermined path. First and second lift arms are movably supported on the base member for reciprocal and independent movement between the first and second positions. The movement between the first and second positions of the lift arms define a first path of travel, and the base member moving along the guide rail defines a second path of travel wherein the first path of travel is substantially perpendicular to the second path of travel. The single drive cooperatively engages the first and second lift arm to independently drive the first and second lift arms between the first position and the second position. A supporting means is provided to support one of the first and second lift arms in the first position when the other of the first and second lift arms is driven outside the first position by the single drive.
