METHOD OF MUTUALLY SEPARATING TWO WORK PIECE SECTIONS OF A PLATE-SHAPED MATERIAL AND GRIPPING DEVICE FOR A HANDLING DEVICE AND HANDLING DEVICE OF A PROCESSING MACHINE

摘要

The invention relates to a method, a gripping device (28) and a handling device for mutual separation of two workpiece parts of a plate-shaped material, in particular a sheet, in which the two parts to be separated workpiece parts are stored on a workpiece support, in which one of the workpiece parts to be separated as Removal part and the other workpiece part is provided as a remnant, in which above a gripping device (28) is moved into a working position to the workpiece parts to be separated and the gripping device (28) comprises one or more gripping plates (36), each one or more holding elements ( 37) through which, when activated in the working position of the gripping device (28), the removal part or the remaining part is held, wherein the one or more holding elements (37) one or more pressing elements (41) are assigned, which separately or together from the holding elements (37) activ and their direction of action opposite to the holding force of the at least one holding element (37) is aligned, the at least one holding element (37) is activated after positioning on the removal part or the remaining part and the removal part or remainder part of the gripping device (28) is held and by a relative movement of the at least one holding element (37) and the one or more pressing elements (41) the removal part or the remaining part is separated from the other workpiece part, wherein one of the two workpiece parts during the separation by the at least one holding element (37) is still held.
