Abstract: In systems of the kind described, each transport trolley (14, 14a) is fitted with sensors which scan the surface (20) of the trackway supports (22, 24) and block the trolley drive unit (16) if the trolley runs off the trackway. This arrangement does not, however, permit system conformity to be monitored with sufficient certainty, nor does it prevent unauthorized use of the trolleys (14, 14a). In order to increase safety, it is proposed that at least one trackway wall surface (28, 42) scanned by the sensors (40, 70) on the trolleys (14, 14a) is located on a trackway support (22, 24), next to a running surface (20) and at an angle to the running surface. The preferred field of application is in systems with flexible trackway or assembly networks in industrial manufacturing facilities.

Abstract: The proposal is for a flexible conveyor system with several processing stations for the assembly and/or treatment of components or assemblies which has conveyor means (29) to convey the workpiece holders (19) receiving the components or assemblies and is designed with a main conveyor track and possibly branches therefrom for the workpiece holders (19) circulating thereon, in which a plurality of modules of the same length arranged one behind the other, each with a to and fro conveyor section (11, 12), form a main circulation track and each module can take at least one processing station. The module with the to and fro conveyor sections (11, 12) forms a basic module (10). The branch sections take the form of a branch module (20) with two mutually parallel transverse conveyor tracks (21) and (22) having opposing travel directions, and a branch section (23) running between them. The branch module (20) can be coupled to at least one of the to and fro conveyor sections (11, 12) of the main circulation section of the basic module (10).

Abstract: Existing systems of this kind have simple track-junction modules which only permit trolleys approaching from one direction to be switched to one of the other directions. In the invention, the junction module is designed as a double T-junction (40), thus permitting each track (42, 44, 46) in the junction to be joined to one of the other tracks, and hence enabling a transport system with a network of interlinked tracks to be simpler in layout, to take up less space and to be easier to manage. In order to reduce the distance necessary between two tracks (76, 80) running parallel to each other, junction modules (72) are proposed which have a junction angle which is less than 90 DEG , preferably 45 DEG . The preferred area of application of the invention is in workpiece-transport or assembly systems in industrial manufacturing facilities.

Abstract: A workpiece transport system for an automated assembly line has a rail guide (11) with conductor rails (18) that extend along at least part of its straight sections (17). Current collectors (19) associated to the conductor rails (18) are arranged on a transport carriage (14), ensuring the current supply of the electric drive of the transport carriage (14) and/or acting as charging contacts (16) for the accumulator (33) of the transport carriage (14). The transport carriage (14) has control means (32) which switch the current supply of the electric drive from an external energy supply to a supply by the accumulator and vice-versa and/or which selectively use the external current supply to charge the accumulator (33). Alternatively, the rail guide (11) has at least one branch (20) which forms a buffer-station (21) for the transport carriage (14), charging contacts for the accumulator of the transport carriage (14) being provided in the area of the buffer-station (21).

Abstract: In prior art devices of this kind, the signal strips mounted in front of each stopping place are fixed in place so that the transport trolley is braked before each stopping place and brought slowly up to the stopping place. This delays unnecessarily the progress of the trolleys when the programme does not call for stops at one or more of the stopping places. The arrangement of switchable signal strips (40) at the stopping places concerned, as disclosed by the invention, enables this disadvantage to be overcome and system throughput to be considerably improved. Power for the signal-strip drive unit (46) is supplied through the trackway supports (10) which are designed as hollow-section rails (12a, 12b). This measure, which simplifies installation, can also be used for powering other functional units in the system. The preferred field of application is in vehicles with flexible track or assembly networks in industrial manufacturing facilities.

Abstract: Proposed is a transport system comprising a branched rail network on which autonomous workpiece carriers in the form of trolleys can move. The system exhibits a high degree of safety in non-regulation operational situations. Several independent devices are used for this purpose, but designed to function particularly well together. One embodiment includes a signal-processing logic circuit based on a microprocesser (10), the logic circuit monitoring for plausibility the flow of trolley movement data and external signals and halting the trolley if necessary. In a second embodiment, the tilting front end (13) of the trolley is designed as a two-stage buffer, the first buffer state (34) being produced by a light impact, the second (35) by a hard (non-regulation) impact. Another embodiment calls for the trolley to be fitted with a shock sensor (24) responsive to a hard (non-regulation) impact. Another embodiment calls for an energy-consumption monitoring device (40) which determines the amount of energy taken from the batteries during a particular time interval T and compares it with a pre-determined threshold value (46), halting the trolley if the threshold value (46) is exceeded for too long a period of time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for conveying workpieces or workpiece carriers with at least one conveyor roller driven by an electric motor. In a prior art device of this kind there is a magnetic slipping clutch in addition to each drive motor. To avoid the need for such an additional coupling, according to the invention the conveyor roller (40) is sliplessly connected to the drive motor (60) and the motor is of the short-circuit-proof type. Preferred fields of use are devices for conveying parts in regions of assemblies to which access is difficult or to convey items adversely affected by dust and dirt.

Abstract: A robot arm (10) is provided with a mounting flange (17) for tools or basic components of systems of interchangeable tools. The mounting flange (17) is formed by a wall (17) of a housing (14) forming the main component of a structural housing component (12) that works as an energy supply flange. The sides (18, 19, 26, 27) of the housing (14) are provided with openings (36, 38, 28, 29) closed by covering plates (40, 40a, 42, 44, 44a, 46) provided with inner and outer connections (58, 72, 72a, 80, 80a) for energy lines (54) and control lines (56) for the mounted tools. This modular construction of the housing structural component (12) makes it possible to adapt the flange to different tools by simply exchanging standardized, plug-in, auxiliary and controlling elements.
