Cable holding device

Abstract

The invention provides an apparatus for holding a cable connected to a cable fixing portion and the upper end portion of a conveying arm in a workpiece conveying apparatus arranged between press machines, which apparatus can effectively treat the cable even in the narrow space between neighboring press machines, and can set the distance between the neighboring press machines to be small. The apparatus for holding the cable comprises a rack arm which is swingably connected to the upper end portion of the conveying arm and holds a part of the cable, a slide supporting body which is connected to the rack arm so as to slide the rack arm, and is arranged above the conveying arm, and is vertically moved via the rack arm according to the behavior of the conveying arm, and a cable support which is connected to the slide supporting body at one end thereof and is connected to the cable fixing portion at the other end thereof, the cable fixing portion being arranged in the direction crossing the conveying direction of workpieces with respect to the slide supporting body, and which holds a part of the cable and deforms following the vertical movement of the slide supporting body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cable holding device in a workpiece conveying device, in which a supporting part is provided on a support member provided between adjacent press machines, and the supporting part supports a conveying arm so that it can swing freely , the workpiece holding mechanism provided at the lower end of the transfer arm is moved in the workpiece transfer direction, thereby transferring the workpiece between adjacent presses. Background technique [0002] As shown in FIG. 7, in a tandem press line (tandempress line) formed by arranging a plurality of presses side by side, a structure is formed in which a workpiece transfer device A is provided between the adjacent presses P1 and P2. , the workpiece is carried out from the press processing position of the previous process by the workpiece conveying device A, and the workpiece is carried into the press process position of the next process at the same time. [0003] The above-ment...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0015] By adopting the workpiece conveying device Z as described above, although the press distance between the presses arranged side by side can be set very small, since the gap between the adjacent presses is also narrowed, there are of course problems that cannot be adopted. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in the conventional cable holding device H, it is necessary to set a large distance between the presses arranged side by side, etc.
