A tool transfer device for displacing one or multiple tools, in particular bending tools, in a guide rail, includes: at least one longitudinal push and pull transfer device for displacing the tool(s), a channel for a supply line being formed in or on the push and pull transfer device, a receptacle including at least one, preferably spirally extending, guide for retracting the push and pull transfer device, and at least one supply line, a first section of the supply line extending in the push and pull transfer device channel. The guide includes a longitudinal opening extending along the guide extension, and a second supply line section extends outside the push and pull transfer device and the receptacle guide, and the supply line, between the first and second sections, exits the channel at an exit point arranged in the guide of the receptacle near the push and pull transfer device.

Tool transfer apparatus

The invention relates to a bending tool storage device () for storing bending tools (), comprising:

Bending tool storage device and method for feeding a press brake

Device and method for positioning of a bending tool () by means of an electromagnet () that can be displaced along a magnetic guide, which bending tool () is held on a tool holder () by a retaining carriage () that can be displaced in a direction of movement along a retaining-carriage guide and which bending tool () comprises a magnet holder () of a magnetizable material, wherein an adjustable magnetic force acts between the electromagnet and the magnet holder ().

Device for positioning a bending tool

The invention relates to a loading method for a machine tool (), especially for a bending machine, having a tool-transfer device (), a tool holder () of the machine tool (), and a tool rack (), wherein the tool holder () and the tool rack () are connected via a guide rail (), and the tool-transfer device () has a magnetic retaining device (). The tool-transfer device () is moved to a machining tool (), which is arranged in a pick-up position () in a tool holder () or in a tool rack (). The machining tool () is picked up and retained by means of a magnetic retaining device () of the tool-transfer device () and moved along the guide track () to a deposition position (). There the machining tool () is deposited by deactivation of the magnetic retaining force (). The magnetic retaining device () has an electromagnet () having an electronic activating device () wherein, upon deactivation of the magnetic retaining force (), a demagnetization is performed by the activating device ().

Loading method for a machine tool and tool transfer device

The invention relates to a tool storage system () as well as to a production facility () for free-form bending of workpieces () made from a metal sheet, by means of a bending press (), comprising a tool storage unit (), a tool manipulation unit (), and a provisioning unit () having provisioning rails (). The tool storage unit () has an upper and lower storage rail (), which are disposed spaced apart from one another at a vertical distance, as well as locally fixed in place relative to one another. The tool manipulation unit () has tool manipulation devices (), wherein each of the same comprises a working rail (), an auxiliary rail (), a drawing-in device (), as well as a pushing-out device (). Each of the tool manipulation devices () can be displaced laterally next to the storage rails (), along a longitudinal guide arrangement (). Furthermore, the invention also comprises a method for manipulation of at least one bending tool () in such a tool storage system ().

Tool storage system, production plant and method for manipulating with such a tool storage system

The invention relates to a bending tool storage device () for storing bending tools (), comprising at least one storage unit (), which comprises an outer tool storage () which is ring-shaped or partial-ring-shaped and has a plurality of guide rails () for holding and guiding bending tools (), characterized in that the storage unit () comprises at least one inner tool storage () which is arranged inside the outer tool storage () and has a plurality of guide rails () for holding and guiding bending tools (), and in that the outer tool storage () and the inner tool storage () are rotatable relative to one another, wherein, in different positions of relative rotation between outer tool storage () and inner tool storage (), at least one guide rail () of the outer tool storage () is in each case in aligned orientation with another guide rail () of the inner tool storage ().

Bending tool storage device

The corners of a sheet of glass travelling in a longitudinal direction are ground by a corner bevelling assembly having a fixed frame; a movable frame; a grinding wheel; a supporting arm supporting the grinding wheel and fitted to the movable frame; and an actuating device interposed between the fixed frame and the movable frame, and having a first powered guide-slide assembly for moving the movable frame in a direction parallel to a longitudinal travelling direction of the sheet, and a second powered guide-slide assembly for moving the movable frame with respect to the fixed frame in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction; the corner bevelling assembly also having a reference locator which, in use, is positioned against a longitudinal lateral surface, parallel to the longitudinal direction, of the sheet; a relative-motion assembly for enabling movement, parallel to the transverse direction, of the reference locator with respect to the supporting arm; and a device for detecting the position of the reference locator with respect to the supporting arm.
