The horizontal clamp 16 includes a fixed horizontal reference plane 18, a fixed clamp reference block 19 that provides a fixed vertical reference plane 19 a, and a movable clamp block 20 that reciprocates horizontally in the perspective direction with respect to the fixed vertical reference plane 19 a. The rod-shaped material M is clamped between the fixed clamp block 19 and the movable clamp block 20 in a state where the rod-shaped material M is always in contact with the fixed horizontal reference plane 18 and the fixed vertical reference plane 19a irrespective of its outer diameter. Of course, although omitted in the drawing, a vertical clamp for clamping the bar-shaped material M just before the cutting position can also be used.
[0009]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 to 7, the first transfer means 4 of the transfer device 3 includes a forward limit position PF for gripping a cut-off portion of the bar-shaped material M cut by the cutting device 1 and a bar-shaped material temporary placing table. 5 (see FIGS. 1 and 2), the outer periphery supported by a movable frame 21 which can linearly reciprocate in parallel with the axis Mc of the bar-shaped material M in the cutting device 1 between a retreat limit position PR immediately above the outer frame 5 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). A clamping clamp 22 is provided. The movable frame 21 is movably supported by a support frame 23 via a slide guide rail 23a, and is reciprocated between a forward limit position PF and a backward limit position PR by a rodless cylinder unit 24.
[0010]
The outer peripheral clamping clamp 22 is provided between the reference clamp block 25 located on the same side as the fixed vertical reference surface 19a of the horizontal clamp 16 in the cutting device 1 with respect to the axis Mc of the rod-shaped material M, and the axis Mc of the rod-shaped material M. On the other hand, the movable clamp block 20 of the horizontal clamp 16 in the cutting device 1 and the movable clamp block 26 located on the same side are openable and closable in the horizontal direction. Below the movable frame 21, two parallel slide rods 29 that can move left and right in a direction perpendicular to the axis Mc of the rod-shaped material M by slide guides 27 and 28 fixed to the movable frame 21 are provided. Supported, the reference clamp block 25 is fixed to the tip of two parallel slide rods 29, and the movable clamp block 26 is movably supported by the two parallel slide rods 29 between slide guides 27 and 28. The slide cylinder 30 is fixed to the tip of the slide cylinder 30. Reference numerals 25a and 26a denote replaceable clamp attachments mounted inside the respective clamp blocks 25 and 26.
[0011]
Thus, the two parallel slide rods 29 are urged in the backward direction by the compression coil spring 31 interposed between the rear end and the slide guide 28, and the two parallel slide rods 29 move between the reference clamp block 25 and the movable clamp block 26. Between the two parallel slide rods 29, a cylinder unit 32 is interposed at an intermediate position. When the reference clamp block 25 and the movable clamp block 26 are separated from each other to the open limit position by the cylinder unit 32, the slide is performed. The rear end of the cylindrical body 30 contacts the inside of the slide guide 28, the movable clamp block 26 is located at the retreat limit position, and the reference clamp block 25 is separated outward from the outer surface of the slide guide 27 by a predetermined small distance. Of the reference clamp block 25 (clamp attachment 25a) The clamp surface 25b is located at a standby position displaced outward by a predetermined small distance from the fixed vertical reference surface 19a of the horizontal clamp 16 in the cutting device 1, and the reference clamp block 25 and the movable clamp block 26 are mutually moved by the cylinder unit 32. When it is moved closer, first, the reference clamp block 25 abuts on the outer surface of the slide guide 27 by the urging force of the spring 31, and the reference clamp surface 25b of the reference clamp block 25 (clamp attachment 25a) and the cutting device 1 , The movable clamp block 26 moves closer to the reference clamp block 25.
[0012]
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the rod-shaped material temporary placing table 5 has a V-shaped support surface 33 that supports the rod-shaped material W cut to a predetermined length in a direction parallel to the axis Mc of the rod-shaped material M. As shown in FIG. 2, it is supported by a support table 34 of the second transport means 6 via a bracket 35.
[0013]
The second transfer means 6 is a conventional well-known general-purpose articulated robot, and has, at the tip of the robot hand, a shaft for holding both ends in the axial direction of a bar W cut to a predetermined length as shown in FIG. A direction clamping clamp 36 is attached. The axial clamping clamp 36 has a pair of clamp blocks 38 and 39 which move toward and away from each other while maintaining a symmetrical position with respect to the center position 36c by the driving means 37. A rod-like shape is provided inside each of the clamp blocks 38 and 39. Even when the bar-shaped material W supported on the V-shaped support surface 33 of the material temporary placing table 5 has the minimum diameter and the end is within the support area of the V-shaped support surface 33, the bar-shaped material W approaches the V-shaped support surface 33. Then, clamp attachments 38a and 39a having a shape capable of holding the rod-shaped material W are exchangeably mounted.
[0014]
A method of using the cutting and secondary processing equipment having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 12 and other drawings. The rod-shaped material M supplied to the cutting device 1 is fed by a feeding unit to a predetermined length in the direction of its axis Mc. In the fed state, after being clamped and fixed on the fixed horizontal reference surface 18 by the fixed clamp block 19 and the movable clamp block 20 of the horizontal clamp 16, the rotation and movement of the circular saw 17 of the cutting means 15 The cutting is performed at a cutting position in the middle of the horizontal clamp 16 (see FIG. 4). After the completion of the cutting, the movable clamp block 20 of the horizontal clamp 16 retreats and the horizontal clamp 16 is opened. At an appropriate time before opening of the horizontal clamp 16 (or before cutting), the first conveying means 4 may be moved. The outer periphery clamping clamp 22 is closed at the forward limit position PF, and the outer periphery of the bar-shaped material W is horizontally clamped outside the horizontal clamp 16. That is, the reference clamp block 25 and the movable clamp block 26 are moved closer to each other by the cylinder unit 32, and the reference clamp block 25 (clamp attachment 25a) is fixed to the reference clamp surface 25b and the horizontal clamp 16 in the cutting device 1. The outer periphery of the bar-shaped material W is moved horizontally to a position where the vertical reference surface 19a coincides with the bar-shaped material W, and the outer periphery of the bar-shaped material W is horizontally held between the reference clamp block 25 and the movable clamp block 26.
[0015]
When the movable clamp block 20 of the horizontal clamp 16 is retracted and the horizontal clamp 16 is opened upon completion of the cutting, the outer peripheral clamping clamp 22 of the first transporting means 4 that is clamping the bar W after cutting is moved to the movable frame. By moving the rod 21 backward by the rodless cylinder 24, the rod 21 is moved backward from the forward limit position PF to the backward limit position PR. As a result, the rod-shaped material W clamped by the outer periphery clamping clamp 22 is linearly conveyed to a position directly above the rod-shaped material temporary placing table 5 while being concentric with the axis Mc of the rod-shaped material M. When the outer peripheral clamping clamp 22 reaches the retreat limit position PR, the outer peripheral clamping clamp 22 is opened by moving the reference clamp block 25 and the movable clamp block 26 closer to each other by the cylinder unit 32, and the bar-shaped material W that has been clamped is released. It is dropped slightly underneath for a short distance and transferred onto the bar-shaped material temporary placing table 5 (see FIGS. 8A and 8B). After the transfer, the outer peripheral clamping clamp 22 is moved forward to the original advance limit position PF with the clamp 22 opened to prepare for the next gripping operation of the rod-shaped material M.
[0016]
Due to the self-centering action of the V-shaped support surface 33, the axis Wc of the bar-shaped material W transferred onto the bar-shaped material temporary placing table 5 is centered on the V-shaped support surface 33 regardless of the outer diameter of the bar-shaped material W. And the cutting position by the cutting means 15 when the outer circumferential clamping clamp 22 clamps the rod-shaped material M at the forward limit position PF and the cutting position by the cutting means 15. Is constant, and the position (retreat limit position PR) when the outer peripheral clamping clamp 22 is opened and the bar-shaped material W is transferred onto the bar-shaped material temporary placing table 5 is fixed. As a result, the cut end face Wa (the end face on the side close to the cutting device 1) of the bar-shaped material W supported by the bar-shaped material temporary placing table 5 is positioned at a fixed position PW (see FIG. 9A).
[0017]
That is, the height H of the axis Wc of the rod W supported by the rod-shaped bar 5 is determined by the diameter of the rod W, and the position of the cut end face Wa immediately before the rod W and the direction of the axis Wc are also rod-shaped. It becomes a fixed position and a fixed direction with respect to the material temporary placing table 5. Although FIG. 9A shows the rod-shaped material W whose both ends protrude from the rod-shaped material temporary placing table 5, depending on the setting of the retreat limit position PR of the outer periphery clamping clamp 22 of the first conveying means 4, May be necessarily on the V-shaped support surface 33 of the bar-shaped material temporary placing table 5. Depending on the cutting length L of the bar-shaped material W, the position of the cut end surface Wa on the opposite side to the immediately preceding cut end surface Wa may be determined. The position of the end face Wb may be on the V-shaped support surface 33 of the rod-shaped material temporary placing table 5 in some cases.
[0018]
Therefore, by inputting the diameter and length L of the bar W in advance as control data for the second transport unit 6, both ends of the bar W on the bar temporary storage table 5 in the axial direction can be moved to the second transport unit. When the clamping is performed by the axial clamping clamp 36 of FIG. 6, the center position 36c of the axial clamping clamp 36 and the axial center position of the rod W on the rod-shaped material placing table 5 are matched as shown in FIG. At the same time, the rod-like shape of the axial clamping clamp 36 with respect to the rod-shaped material temporary placing table 5 for securely clamping both ends in the axial direction of the rod-shaped material W without causing the pair of clamp blocks 38, 39 to interfere with the rod-shaped material temporary placing table 5. The material receiving position can be determined by arithmetic processing, and the second transport means 6 can be automatically operated so that the axial clamping clamp 36 is set to the determined bar-shaped material receiving position.
[0019]
When the second conveying means 6 is automatically operated by the control as described above and the axial clamping clamp 36 is set at the rod-shaped material receiving position with respect to the rod-shaped material temporary placing table 5, a pair of the axial clamping clamps 36 is set. By moving the clamp blocks 38 and 39 closer to each other in synchronization with each other by the driving means 37, the pair of clamp blocks 38 and 39 are moved without moving the bar-shaped material W on the bar-shaped material temporary placing table 5 as shown in FIG. With this, both end faces Wa and Wb in the axial direction can be sandwiched. Of course, if there is no problem even if the bar W is slid in the axial direction on the bar 5, the center position 36 c of the axial clamping clamp 36 and the bar W on the bar 5 are placed. It is not necessary to set the rod-shaped material receiving position of the axial clamping clamp 36 so as to coincide with the axial center position, and the rod material W is axially clamped by the synchronous approach movement of the pair of clamp blocks 38, 39. The bar-shaped material W may be moved in the axial direction so as to be pinched so as to forcibly and automatically align the center position 36c of the 36.
[0020]
In any case, the axial clamping clamp 36 of the second conveying means 6 clamps both axial end faces Wa and Wb of the rod W in a state where the center position 36c thereof coincides with the axial center position of the rod W. I do. As described above, when the axial clamping clamp 36 of the second transport means 6 clamps the bar-shaped material W on the rod-shaped material temporary placing table 5, the axial clamping clamp 36 is moved along the three-dimensional path stored and set by the learning operation. The second transport means 6 is automatically operated so as to move the second transport means 36. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the outer peripheral clamping clamp 7 of the both-end chamfering apparatus 2 is in an open standby state in which the movable clamp block 12 is moved backward with respect to the position-fixed reference clamp block 10, and The chamfering rotary tools 8 and 9 are in an open standby state separated from each other.
[0021]
Thus, the bar-shaped material W clamped by the axial clamping clamp 36 of the second conveying means 6 is moved to the reference clamp block 10 and the movable clamp block 12 of the outer peripheral clamping clamp 7 in the open standby state of the both-end chamfering device 2. As shown in FIG. 10, the axis Wc of the bar W is parallel to the axis C of the pair of chamfering rotary tools 8 and 9, and the center of the bar W in the axial direction is the outer circumferential clamp 7 as shown in FIG. 11, the axis Wc of the bar W is lowered to a level that is the same as the axis C of the pair of chamfering rotary tools 8 and 9 as shown in FIG. 11. Subsequently, the bar-shaped material W is fitted into the reference clamp block 10 of the outer-peripheral clamping clamp 7 by the horizontal movement of the axial clamping clamp 36, and the axis Wc of the bar-shaped material W is the axis of the pair of chamfering rotary tools 8, 9. It can be moved horizontally to a position concentric with C.
[0022]
Lastly, the moving clamp block 12 of the outer peripheral clamping clamp 7 in the opening standby state of the both-end chamfering apparatus 2 is moved closer to the reference clamp block 10 by the cylinder unit 11 so that the outer periphery of the rod-shaped material W at the axial center position is moved to both ends. After being clamped and fixed by the clamp blocks 10 and 12, the axial clamping clamp 36 of the second transport means 6 is opened, and the axial clamping clamp 36 is returned to a predetermined home position. Thereafter, the both-end chamfering apparatus 2 moves in the axial direction of the bar-shaped material W clamped and fixed by the outer periphery clamping clamp 7 while the pair of chamfering rotary tools 8 and 9 are rotated and driven by the driving means 13 and 14. Chamfering of both end surfaces Wa and wb is performed.
[0023]
The bar-shaped material W, which has been chamfered at both ends, is naturally dropped directly below by, for example, opening of the outer peripheral clamping clamp 7 that holds the bar-shaped material W, and may be discharged out of the chamfering device 2 via the chute. Alternatively, the sheet can be discharged to a predetermined position outside the chamfering apparatus 2 by an unloading device (an articulated robot or another device capable of gripping and transporting the bar-shaped material W to a predetermined position). Further, the processed rod-shaped material W can be automatically stored or palletized in a predetermined arrangement in a container or a pallet by the discharge device or another articulated robot combined with the discharge device.
[0024]
The cutting device 1 used in the facility of the present invention may have any configuration. Although the articulated robot is used as the second transfer means, any structure such as a dedicated transfer means having a two-dimensional or three-dimensional dedicated transfer path may be used. Further, the both-end chamfering apparatus 2 is exemplified as the secondary processing apparatus. However, the apparatus is not limited to the both-end chamfering apparatus 2 as long as it has an outer periphery clamping clamp capable of clamping the outer periphery between both ends in the axial direction of the bar-shaped material W. Any kind of secondary processing may be performed. Further, the rod-shaped material W (rod-shaped material M) to be handled may be a hollow material or a solid material, and may have a short axial length after cutting, and may have a disk-like or ring-like shape. As the clamp for clamping the outer periphery of the means and the clamp for clamping in the axial direction of the second transport means, a clamp suitable for the diameter and the axial length of the rod-shaped material to be handled may be used.
[0025]
【The invention's effect】
The cutting and secondary processing equipment of the present invention can be implemented and used as described above, and according to the cutting and secondary processing equipment of the present invention, the cutting and secondary processing equipment is cut to a predetermined length by the cutting device. The bar material can be transported to the secondary processing device by the transport device and set at a predetermined position, so that the bar material can be transported between the cutting device and the secondary processing device, and the bar material can be transferred to the secondary processing device. Compared with the conventional equipment in which setting is performed manually, it is possible to greatly reduce the processing cost and to shorten the cycle time from cutting to the end of the secondary processing.
[0026]
In addition, when the articulated robot directly grips the cut portion of the bar-shaped material cut by the cutting device and transports it to the secondary processing device, the outer periphery of the bar-shaped material is clamped as the bar-shaped material clamp of the articulated robot. In the case of using a device having a clamp for clamping the outer periphery of the axially intermediate portion of the rod-shaped material as the secondary processing device for the rod-shaped material, such as the both-end chamfering processing device shown in the embodiment, Although the bar-shaped material cannot be directly supplied to the gripping position by the outer circumference clamping clamp by the articulated robot, in the configuration of the present invention, a bar-shaped material temporary placing table is provided in the middle, and the bar-shaped material cut by the cutting device is provided. A second transfer composed of an articulated robot or the like, in combination with a first transfer means for gripping a cut-off portion of the material by an outer circumference clamping clamp and transferring the cut bar-shaped material onto a bar-shaped material temporary placing table. The step is configured so that the bar-shaped material on the bar-shaped material temporary placing table is gripped by the axial clamping clamp and transported to the gripping position by the outer peripheral clamping clamp of the secondary processing device. It is not necessary to additionally provide a special carrying-in means for setting the rod-shaped material received from the second carrying means to the gripping position by the outer periphery clamping clamp of the secondary processing apparatus, and a conventional two-way machine having no such carrying-in means is required. The next processing device can be used as it is.
[0027]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the first transport means does not need to be moved up and down only by linearly reciprocating the outer-peripheral clamping clamp between the two positions, and further, simply opens the outer-peripheral clamping clamp. With only this, the bar-shaped material can be transferred onto the bar-shaped material temporary placing table, so that the configuration of the first conveying means is very simple and can be implemented at low cost. Moreover, since the bar-shaped material temporary placing table can accurately support the bar-shaped material at a predetermined position in a predetermined direction by its V-shaped support surface, the rod-shaped material on the bar-shaped material temporary placing table is axially clamped by the second conveying means. It can be surely clamped well.
[0028]
Further, according to the configuration of the third aspect, the first transport means positions the cut end surface immediately before the bar-shaped material at a fixed position with respect to the bar-shaped material temporary placing table, and places the bar-shaped material on the bar-shaped material temporary placing table. Since it is transferred, if the diameter and length of the bar are taken in the control data of the second transport means, the center position of the axial clamping clamp and the axial center position of the rod material of the second transport means And the rod-shaped material on the rod-shaped material temporary placing table can be axially clamped by the axial clamping of the second transport means, and the rod-shaped material is rod-shaped by the axial clamp of the second transport means. It is possible to prevent the surface of the rod-shaped material from being damaged due to axial sliding contact between the rod-shaped material temporary mounting table and the rod-shaped material, as in the case of self-alignment by sliding in the axial direction on the rod-shaped material temporary mounting table.
