PALLET EXCHANGER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH01127246
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To reduce the time for mounting and removing a workpiece with less floor space and cost of equipment by constituting a device positioning a pallet so as to shift a lifted position engaging the pallet with one end of a turning arm to a lowered position clamping the pallet to a tilt base. CONSTITUTION:A pallet 50 is supported to a supporting rail 40 being indexed to a standby position B by a turning arm 32, and when the supporting rail 40 lowers by a shift device 45, the pallet 50 is detached from the turning arm 32 and clamped onto a tilt base 21. Next the pallet 50 moves turning about a horizontal axial line with the tilt base 21 by an actuator 26, being positioned in a predetermined loading position A. Under this condition, a workpiece W is mounted to and removed from the pallet 50. Accordingly, eliminating the necessity for providing a particular device in-out carrying the pallet 50 between the standby position B and the loading position A, floor space and the cost of equipment can be decreased. While the time for mounting and removing the workpiece can be reduced.
