A system for the automatic repetitive transfer of rough workpieces from a conveyor to the machining position in a machine tool and the transfer of finished workpieces from the machining position to the conveyor. |
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, there is shown a lathe generally indicated at 1, having a headstock 2 and a tailstock 4.
The headstock 2 incorporates a chuck, or other workpiece holding device, 3, adapted to be rotated at preselected speeds for the automatic clamping and releasing of workpieces.
Journaled in the tailstock 4 is a spindle 8, movable toward and away from the headstock 2 by means of a servomotor 10 at preselected points in each cycle of operation.
In the interest of simplicity there has not been shown the usual carriage and slide for holding and positioning a cutting tool and the mechanism for having the carriage automatically traverse the workpiece, and upon completion of the traverse return to the starting position adjacent the headstock for a repeat operation after removal of the finished workpiece from the machining position and the positioning of a rough workpiece into the machining position.
The automation now to be described, in the initial cycle of operation, takes a rough workpiece from a conveyor 11, transports it to a position parallel to, but displaced sideways, from the machining position, puts the workpiece in machining position, during the machining operation takes a second rough workpiece from the conveyor 11, transports it to the position parallel to, but displaced sideways, from the machining position, upon completion of the machining operation, takes the finished workpiece from the machining position, puts the second rough workpiece in machining position and returns the finished workpiece to the conveyor 11.
Following the initial cycle, the automation continuously cycles to take a rough workpiece from the conveyor 11, transport it to the position parallel to, but displaced sideways, from the machining position, take a finished workpiece from the machining position, put the rough workpiece in machining position and return the finished workpiece to the conveyor 11
