Title:
PRODUCTION PLANT FOR ASSEMBLING AND/OR PROCESSING COMPONENTS TRANSPORTED ON WORKPIECE SUPPORTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002072453
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a production plant (1) for assembling and/or processing components (3) that are transported on workpiece supports (2), comprising several transport sections (5, 6a, 6b, 6c), arranged one behind the other. At least one designated feed device (15; 51), which operates independently of the neighbouring transport sections (5, 6a, 6b, 6c), and one guide device, which has at least two opposing guide rails (20), are allocated to each transport section. The workpiece support (2), located between the guide rails, is configured to be displaced into position along the guide device and is provided with guide organs for vertical and lateral guidance. The guide organs of the workpiece support (2) have a groove-type recess for engaging in the guide rails (20) that lie transversely at a distance from one another in relation to the direction of transport (16). In at least one of the transport sections (6a; 6c), at least one guide rail (20) is configured to be lifted from a resting position, in which it lies outside the structure gauge of the workpiece support (2), into a position above the transport plane (19), by means of an adjusting device and to be adjusted transversely to the longitudinal direction of the guide rail (20) to adopt an engagement position for engaging with the recesses of the guide organs.
