FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION LINE COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF DECOUPLING MODULES FOR MACHINING WORKPIECES ARRANGED ON PALLETS

摘要

The invention relates to a flexible production line (34) for machining undulated workpieces (45) arranged individually or in groups on a pallet (44), in a plurality of successive operations (OP-20, OP-40) carried out along from pallet stores (42, 29). In order to machine series' of workpieces (45), the entire production line (34) is divided into a plurality of decoupling modules (1 to 7). A plurality of operations (OP-20, OP-40) are associated with each decoupling module (1). A stacker (43) for individual pallets (44) is associated with each decoupling module (1 to 7). Each decoupling module (1 to 7) has at least one store (42) for pallets (44) and the decoupling modules (1 to 7) are interconnected by transfer conveyors.
