DISPOSITIF ET PROCÉDÉ DE POSITIONNEMENT AVEC UNE TABLE D'INDEXAGE ROTATIVE POUR DES CATALYSEURS POUR AUTOMOBILE ET CHIMIQUES À BASE DE MONOLITHE

摘要

The invention relates to a processing and positioning device for processing catalyst support bodies. The device comprises a rotary indexing table, which comprises a turntable, which is rotatable about a longitudinal axis running in the axial direction of the turntable, and at least one loading platform, which comprises a holding device and is set up for releasably holding the catalyst support body on an outer surface of the catalyst support body. The at least one loading platform is connected to the turntable, whereby the loading platform is taken along by the turntable when a rotation of the turntable takes place about its longitudinal axis. The holding device is arranged in relation to the longitudinal axis of the turntable with a radial distance away from the longitudinal axis. Also provided is at least one processing position, which is fixed with respect to the turntable and is away from the longitudinal axis in a radial direction by a distance. The distance is provided in relation to the radial distance such that the loading platform can be arranged at the processing position. The invention also relates to a method for positioning catalyst support bodies which, by means of a circular movement, arranges the support bodies at positions that are in series according to the positioning along a circular line.
