    摘要: A transfer apparatus (104) for transferring a workpiece (116) has a support surface (124) for supporting a workpiece (116). The transfer apparatus (104) has a carriage (128) movable with respect to the support surface (124) between a loading location and an unloading location. The transfer apparatus (104) further has a drive mechanism (146, 150) operatively connected to the carriage (128) for moving the carriage (128). The carriage (128) has a lift member (230) moveable between a lowered position and a raised position relative to the support surface (124). The carriage (128) further has a push member (292) operatively connected with the lift member (230) to enable engagement of a workpiece (116) with the push member (292) and the lift member (230) to lift at least a portion of the workpiece (116) from the support surface (124) to decrease the factional engagement between the workpiece (116) and the support surface (124).

    摘要: A conversion system for converting easy-open can ends has an improved slide assembly capable of handling multiple conveyor belts with improved tension and vibration control. The slide assembly includes a stationary idler shaft mounted transverse to the conveyor axis on a take-up slide. At least two guide pins extend from the shaft parallel to the conveyor axis. Each guide pin mounts a cylindrical bearing holder thereon. The bearing holders are both pivotable and slidable on the guide pins. Springs disposed in pockets in the idler shaft bias the bearing holders. The bearing holders each mount a drum for rotation with the drum.degree. s axis parallel to the idler shaft. The pivoting of the bearing holders accommodates conveyor belt camber while the sliding permits tension adjustment and control.

    摘要: In a plate processing machine such as punch press provided with a workpiece moving/positioning device (49) including a carriage base (53) movable in the longitudinal Y-axis) direction of the machine and a carriage (69) movable in the lateral (X-axis) direction of the machine, a carriage drive unit of an X-axis motor (79) and a reduction gear (77) for moving the carriage is disposed near a middle portion of the carriage base to balance the workpiece moving/positioning device, so that workpiece processing precision can be improved. Further, the width of a caterpillar table (82) fixed to the carriage base between two movable tables (81) also fixed to the carriage base is reduced to prevent vibration of the caterpillar table, so that scratches under the surface of a workpiece can be reduced. Furthermore, a caterpillar carry table (93) is disposed behind a process position where a tool set is arranged remote from the caterpillar table in synchronism with the caterpillar table in motion so as to be inclined front down to carry out processed parts in the same rearward direction.

    摘要: A conveyor comprises a driven conveyor reciprocably movable in a horizontal direction between two spaced driven supports. The supports move vertically, before and after the horizontal conveyor movement, to raise objects from the driven conveyor and to lower objects onto the driven conveyor. The driven conveyor and the supports have a common drive motor driving a mechanical driven train, the movements of the driven conveyor and the supports being synchronized with each other so that the driven conveyor interrupts its movements when the supports move. The driven conveyor comprises a carriage movable in a frame and coupled to the drive motor via a crank mechanism, in which a first crank connected to the drive motor engages a guide movably mounted in the frame and actuating the carriage. This guide is arranged to be at rest during a portion of the rotational cycle of the crank.

    摘要: A reversible drive device rotates a sprocket wheel so that an endless chain engaging said sprocket wheel moves through a vertical path and then in a semicircular path around a chain guide. A workpiece conveyed by a conveyor device from a preceding stage is clamped by a clamping device extending from a base end of a workpiece retaining arm having an outer end connected to said chain. If the workpiece is to be transferred in an inverted orientation, a slider pivotally supporting the base end of the workpiece retaining arm is raised along a slide guide by the chain; then the outer end of the workpiece retaining arm circles around the upper end of the chain guide together with the chain, thereby rotating the workpiece retaining arm by half a turn and inverting the workpiece. The workpiece retaining arm is then lowered after the circling, the workpiece is unclamped and transferred to a conveyor device leading to a subsequent stage, and the reversible drive device is reversed by operation of a position detection device so that the workpiece retaining arm is returned to its initial position. If the workpiece is to be transferred in a noninverted orientation, the chain drive is reversed by a limit switch before the workpiece retaining arm reaches the semicircular part of the chain path, so that the workpiece retaining arm translates vertically only.

    摘要: A conveyor for conveying material from a press machine. The conveyor is advanced by apparatus adapted to be connected toi the movable head of the press machine. The apparatus includes an arm having a plurality of outwardly extending fingers which is connected to the head of the press machine for movement therewith. A rachet wheel having a plurality of circumferentially spaced finger engaging members is fixably mounted to the drive rod of the conveyor. The fingers on the arm engage the finger engaging members of the rachet wheel upon movement of the head of the press in a first direction which causes the rachet wheel as well as the drive rod to rotate. The rotation of the drive rod results in an incremental advance of the conveyor which removes material deposited thereon from the press machine.

    摘要: A hydraulic press is disclosed for smoothing sheet metal workpieces. A carrier plate is longitudinally moved through the press frame by a motorized conveyor linkage. The press contains a press ram which only moves laterally and not longitudinally with respect to the workpiece conveyed by the carrier plate. The ram is mounted so that its lateral movement above the workpiece is not restricted and the ram can be moved to a position outward of the lateral edges of a work table on which the workpiece is positioned. Therefore, pressure can be applied to any point on the sheet metal workpiece and the loading and unloading of such workpiece is facilitated. Additionally, the press is provided with a detachable connecting plate which structurally supports the ram mounting assembly but can be easily removed to facilitate ram removal for maintenance or exchange purposes.
