TRANSFER LINE FOR MULTIFACE MACHINING Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: manufacture of machine-tools. SUBSTANCE: installed inside the central bed on working station of transfer line are multitool machining units, interstage transport of frame type, pellet in form of right-angle prism. Pallets are secured inside the bed by fasteners in horizontal and vertical directions. Central bed has two vertical plates with through ports. External contour of plates and port contour in plates have widenings. Plates are interconnected in places of widening and spaced at a distance occupied between them by pallet. Interstage transport is installed in hollows of lower and upper parts of ports on rotating rollers. Interstage transport is made in form of frame on which members are provided for fastening pallets inside frame. Secured in places of widening, from left-hand and right-hand ends of central bed are intermediate bodies with projections. Secured inside the bed to projections and to plate internal walls are slideways, and slides are installed in slideways. Side slideways are secured to outside of bed on external walls of plates, and slides are installed in them. Slides are connected with multitool machining unit. There are drives for moving slides and machining units. Device for fastening the pallet in horizontal plane inside the bed are located on projections of intermediate bodies. Device for fastening the pallet in vertical plane are installed in lower and upper parts of plates on their internal walls. Devices for fastening the pallet inside the frame of interstage transport are located in vertical plane of frame symmetry axis on the side of lower and upper faces of pallet. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 6 cl, 5 dwg
