    摘要: A method of manufacturing a press-formed product includes a heating step, a transportation step, and a pressing step. At the heating step, a sheet-shaped heat storage member 5 and a sheet-shaped workpiece W1 placed above the heat storage member 5 are heated by a heating device 14 while overlapping in the direction normal to the sheet surfaces of the workpiece W1. At a first transportation sub-step, the heat storage member 5 and the workpiece W1 placed above the heat storage member 5 are transported from the heating device 14 to a lifting location while overlapping in the direction normal to the sheet surfaces of the workpiece W1. At a second transportation sub-step, the workpiece W1 placed above the heat storage member 5, when at the lifting location, is lifted upward by a transportation device 46 and transported to a pressing location on a press machine 20. At the pressing step, the workpiece W1 is processed by the press machine 20.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a press-formed product includes: a heating step; a transportation step; and a pressing step. The transportation step includes: using claws of a pair of first arms to support the lower surface, at both ends, of a first heated workpiece and lift the workpiece; using claws of a pair of second arms to support the lower surface, at both ends, of a second heated workpiece and lift the workpiece; transporting the first heated workpiece with the lower surface supported, at both ends, by the claws of the pair of first arms and the second heated workpiece with the lower surface supported, at both ends, by the claws of the pair of second arms, where the first and second heated workpieces overlap each other in the direction normal to the sheet surfaces; driving the pair of first arms to lower the first heated workpiece to a pressing location on a press machine; and driving the pair of second arms to lower the second heated workpiece to a pressing location on the press machine.
