A tool-changing unit for a production plant for forming sheet metal using a bending operation. The tool-changing unit includes a tool-holding device having a carrier body and a number 'n' of tool-holding modules arranged directly next to one another and held on the carrier body. Each one of the tool-holding modules includes a first coupler and a first actuating device cooperating therewith as a component of a coupling device, wherein the first coupler can be brought into coupling engagement and out of coupling engagement with an individual clamping jaw of a clamping jaw set. Moreover, a production plant has the tool-changing unit and the clamping jaw a method changes tools.

The invention relates to an automated vacuum gripper, a feed unit and a method for conveying flat components (). The vacuum gripper () comprises a support part (), at least one support part element (), a plurality of first suction elements (′), which are arranged at the at least one support part element () and define a first suction plane; at least one bearing assembly () and at least one actuating assembly (), wherein the at least one support part element () is pivotably mounted at the support part () by means of the at least one actuating assembly () about the at least one bearing assembly (). The plurality of second elements () is arranged at the support part () and defines a second suction plane (). The at least one support part element () with its first suction plane defined by the plurality of first suction elements (′) is pivotable from a standby position that is at an angle relative to the second suction plane into a working position that is congruous with the second suction plane, and vice versa.

Vacuum gripper, feed unit, and method for conveying flat components

A production installation for producing workpieces from sheet metal by reshaping includes a bending machine, a support table defining a support plane, and a manipulation device having a support arrangement and a holding arrangement. The holding arrangement has interacting upper and lower holding units. The support arrangement has a separate upper support unit and a separate lower support unit, wherein the upper holding unit is arranged on the upper support unit, and the lower holding unit is arranged on the lower support unit. In an open insertion position of the manipulation device for the sheet metal to be accommodated therein, and in a loading region in front of the bending machine, the upper support unit, together with the upper holding unit, is arranged entirely above the support plane, and the lower support unit, together with the lower holding unit, is arranged entirely below the support plane.
