Abstract
The lifting beam manipulator assembly is used for transporting workpieces in a forging press having machine tools. The assembly comprises a lifting beam including a carrier that is movable forwards and backwards and has workpiece grasping means. The grasping means includes a pair of grab arms located at each of the machining positions. A control mechanism is provided for the lifting beam for controlling the movement of the carrier along a workpiece transporting path which includes movement in three axes which are perpendicular with respect to each other. The movement control mechanism includes a linear transport means for movement along each of the axes and individual drive assemblies for each linear transport mechanism for effecting each movement of the carrier in the three axes. A limit switch gear mechanism activates each of the individual drive mechanisms for the linear transport means. A blowing and spraying apparatus is provided for cleaning, lubricating and cooling the machine tools between each of the forge pressing operations.
