A changeover device () is provided for tenter frames () in a treatment station () for vehicle bodies. The changeover device comprises at least one frame store () that can be rotated about a rotational axis () and is arranged at a distance from a working point (), and a transport device () provided with a guide () and a controllable towing device () for the tenter frames (). The transport device () has a guide () on the bottom side, for transporting the tenter frames in a vertical position, and also comprises a bottom-side or lateral stabilizing device (). A towing device () for the tenter frames () is arranged in the bottom region of the transport device () with at least one driven carriage ().

Changeover device for clamping frames

The present invention pertains to a handling device ( ) for one or more clamping frames ( ) for components ( ), especially shells of vehicles, in processing stations ( ). The handling device ( ) has one or more rotatably driven connecting rods ( ), which are mounted in a carriage ( ) that can be moved by a motor along a transfer line ( ) at one of their ends and have a holding device ( ) for receiving the clamping frame ( ) at their other ends. Two connecting rods ( ), which are arranged in two coupled carriages ( ) in the manner of a four-bar chain and are rotatable around parallel axes ( ), are preferably present. The handling device preferably generates a feed movement of the clamping frames ( ) which is essentially linear and is directed at right angles to the transfer line ( ).

Device for handling at least one tensioning frame, especially for mounting vehicle shells

An interchangeable coupling is provided for removably fastening tools ( ) to manipulators ( ). The interchangeable coupling has two coupling parts ( ) with a form fit lock ( ). The lock has several mobile balls ( ) and a piston ( ) for moving the balls. The coupling parts ( ) have corresponding cavities ( ). The cavities ( ) in the tool side coupling part ( ) are essentially cylindrical ball channels ( ) with an oblique channel axis ( ). In a locked position, these cavities ( ) accommodate the blocking balls ( ). The channel axis ( ) preferably slopes from the robot-sided cavity ( ) towards the tool side ( ).
