DEVICE FOR PIVOTING, TURNING AND EXCHANGING WORKPIECE PALLETS, AND HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

摘要

The invention relates to a device (V) for manipulating workpiece pallets (P1, P2), comprising two parallel pivot arms (4), which can each be fitted with a pallet carrier (16) and each of which can be pivoted about a substantially horizontal pivot axis (5) by a motor and a pivot gearbox, each pallet carrier (16) being able to be turned, on the pivot arm (4), parallel to the other pallet carrier (16) about a turning axis (15) parallel to the pivot axis (5) by a motor and a gearbox. In said device, the motors are electric motors, the gearboxes are combined angular and planetary gearboxes and the pivot arms (4) are mutually coupled for conjoint rotation by means of a master shaft (12).
