Abstract

Abstract In a system for removing press-formed parts formed in a pressing machine, a loading transfer device is disposed between an ejection position to which a plurality of press-formed parts are simultaneously ejected in parallel from the pressing machine and a loading position established to load the press-formed parts onto each of a plurality of carrier pallets which are on standby in parallel to individually correspond to the plurality of press-formed parts. The loading transfer device comprises a plurality of transfer pallets connected to one another with variable spacings therebetween and reciprocally movable in parallel between the ejection position and the loading position so that the plurality of press-formed parts may be placed onto the individual transfer pallets, and a spacing-varying drive device for varying the spacing between the transfer pallets. During transferring of the press-formed parts by the loading transfer device, the spacing between the press-formed parts is varied.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 169 words
A system for removing press-formed parts formed in a pressing machine from said pressing machine, comprising loading transfer means disposed between an ejection position to which a plurality of press-formed parts are simultaneously ejected in parallel from said pressing machine and a pallet loading position established to simultaneously load said press-formed parts onto each pallet of a plurality of carrier pallets which are on standby in parallel to individually correspond to the plurality of press-formed parts to be removed, said loading transfer means comprising a plurality of transfer pallets connected to one another with variable spacing therebetween and reciprocally movable in parallel between the ejection position and the pallet loading position for simultaneously receiving a plurality of press-formed parts from said pressing machine and for simultaneously placing individual of said press formed parts on individual of said transfer pallets, and spacing-varying drive means for varying said spacing between said individual of said transfer pallets while the press-formed parts are transferred between said ejection position and said pallet loading position.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 169 words
A system for removing press-formed parts formed in a pressing machine from said pressing machine, comprising loading transfer means disposed between an ejection position to which a plurality of press-formed parts are simultaneously ejected in parallel from said pressing machine and a pallet loading position established to simultaneously load said press-formed parts onto each pallet of a plurality of carrier pallets which are on standby in parallel to individually correspond to the plurality of press-formed parts to be removed, said loading transfer means comprising a plurality of transfer pallets connected to one another with variable spacing therebetween and reciprocally movable in parallel between the ejection position and the pallet loading position for simultaneously receiving a plurality of press-formed parts from said pressing machine and for simultaneously placing individual of said press formed parts on individual of said transfer pallets, and spacing-varying drive means for varying said spacing between said individual of said transfer pallets while the press-formed parts are transferred between said ejection position and said pallet loading position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 43 words
A system for removing press-formed parts according to claim 1 wherein loading means is disposed in said loading position for loading said press-formed parts from said transfer pallet of said loading transfer means onto a carrier pallet of said plurality of carrier pallets.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 40 words
A system for removing press-formed parts according to claim 2, wherein said loading means includes finger means corresponding to said plurality of carrier pallets and each provided with a plurality of suckers each adapted to releasably hold a press-formed part.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 40 words
A system for removing press-formed parts according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of transfer pallets of said loading transfer means are positioned on a travel carriage which is movable to reciprocate between said ejection position and said loading position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 52 words
A system for removing press-formed parts according to claim 1, further including transporting means disposed in said loading position and extending in a direction perpendicular to said load transfer means, said transporting means being arranged for moving said plurality of carrier pallets to and stopping said carrier pallets at said loading position.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 21 words
A system for removing press-formed parts according to claim 1, wherein said carrier pallets are vertically movable in said loading position.
