  • Patent number: 10730707
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transport device (38) for transporting a workpiece (23) between a clamping chuck (22) and a workpiece carrier (30). The transport device (38) comprises a gripper arrangement (39) with a pivot arm (40). One end of the pivot arm (40) is supported on the machine tool (20) and, in particular, a machine slide (25) via a first pivot drive (41) so as to be pivotable about a first pivot axis (S1). On the other end, the pivot arm (40) supports a second pivot drive (42) that defines a second pivot axis (S2). A workpiece gripper (43) is supported so as to be pivotable about this second pivot axis (S2). The two pivot axes are inclined by 45° relative to each other. A workpiece (23) held by the workpiece gripper (43) has a workpiece longitudinal axis (W) that extends in a first position (I) of the workpiece gripper (43) at a right angle with respect to the pivot axis (S1).

  • Publication number: 20180178336
    Abstract: A magazine for storing shaft-shaped workpieces includes at least one receiving body (12) with at least one receiving hole (15) for insertion of an end section (11a) of a shaft-shaped workpiece (11). The end section (11a) that has been inserted in a receiving hole (15)—viewed along the longitudinal axis (L) of the workpiece (11)—is shorter, and, in particular, shorter by the factors three to five, than the remaining section of the workpiece (11) that adjoins the end section (11a). The receiving body (12) is configured in such a manner that, in operating position of the magazine (10), the center axes (M) of the at least one receiving hole (15) and the vertical (V) subtend a first angle of inclination (?). As a result of this, it is achieved that the workpieces (11) tilt in a defined tilt direction (K) and do not hit each other.
