Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine modulare Vorrichtung zum Spannen und/oder Halten und/oder Bearbeiten von Bauteilen bei der industriellen Montage, insbesondere der Montage von Karosserien bei der Automobilfertigung, mit einer Montageplatte, an welcher zumindest ein Fußteil befestigbar ist, an welchem ein aufragender Mittelteil befestigbar ist, welcher einen justierbaren Kopfteil trägt, der zumindest ein Halteelement und/oder zumindest ein betätigbares Spannelement und/oder zumindest eine Bearbeitungseinrichtung für das Bauteil aufweist. Weiters betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Vormontage bzw. Vorjustierung und Endmontage bzw. Endjustierung einer Vorrichtung der genannten Art.The present invention relates to a modular device for clamping and / or holding and / or machining of components in industrial assembly, in particular assembly of bodies in automobile production, with a mounting plate on which at least a foot part can be fastened, to which an upstanding middle part can be fastened, which carries an adjustable head part, the at least one holding element and / or at least one actuatable clamping element and / or at least one processing device for the component having. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for pre-assembly or Pre-adjustment and final assembly or final adjustment of a device of the type mentioned.

Vorrichtungen zum Spannen und Halten für die automatische Fertigung in industriellen Prozessen, wie der Karosseriefertigung, sind bekannt. Ebenso sind entsprechende Bearbeitungseinrichtungen bekannt, wie etwa Stiftziehzylinder. Durch die Kompliziertheit der Bauteile, z.B. Karosseriebleche, muß in der Praxis jede Vorrichtung für sich konstruiert, hergestellt und justiert werden. Durch die Vielzahl von erforderlichen Spann- und Bearbeitungsvorrichtungen einer jeden industriellen Fertigung entstehen dadurch hohe Planungskosten und ein zeitaufwendiger Herstellungs- bzw. Justierprozeß.Devices for clamping and holding for automatic production in industrial Processes such as bodywork production are known. Likewise are appropriate Machining equipment known, such as Stiftziehzylinder. Due to the complexity of Components, e.g. Body panels, in practice, each device must be constructed for itself, be prepared and adjusted. Due to the large number of required clamping and Machining devices of each industrial manufacturing arise high Planning costs and a time-consuming manufacturing or adjustment process.

In jüngster Zeit hat man daher versucht, den Aufbau solcher Vorrichtungen modular zu gestalten. Beispielsweise ist in der DE 197 16 874 A1 ein Spann-Baukastensystem zur Halterung von Werkstücken mit komplizierter Geometrie, wie Bleche einer Karosserie, beschrieben, bei welchem ein aus mehreren Bauteilen stufenlos höhenverstellbares Gestell vorgesehen ist. Ein Nachteil dieser Vorrichtung liegt unter anderem darin, daß für die Elemente vergleichsweise komplizierte geometrische Formen, z.B. Rundungen, verwendet werden, die aufwendig hergestellt werden müssen. Weiters sind zur Endjustierung aufwendige Arbeiten, wie die mechanische Anpassung von sogenannten Abstimmplatten durch mechanische Nachbearbeitung (Keilbildung) dieser Platten erforderlich.Recently, therefore, attempts have been made to modular construction of such devices shape. For example, in DE 197 16 874 A1 a clamping modular system for Mounting of workpieces with complicated geometry, such as metal sheets of a body, described in which a continuously variable height of several components frame is provided. One disadvantage of this device is, inter alia, that for the Elements of comparatively complicated geometric shapes, e.g. Roundings, used be, which must be produced consuming. Furthermore, for the final adjustment elaborate work, such as the mechanical adjustment of so-called tuning plates required by mechanical post-processing (wedge) of these plates.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, durch Weiterentwicklen der obigen Einrichtung eine möglichst einfache Planung, Herstellung, Vormontage, Vorjustierung und Endmontage bzw. Endjustierung einer Vorrichtung zu ermöglichen. Weiters ist es ein Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung, die herstellerseitige Vorjustierung so zu gestalten, daß kundenseitig zwar eine Endjustierung vorgenommen werden kann, diese jedoch durch den Hersteller überprüfbar ist. It is therefore an object of the present invention to further develop the above Establish the simplest possible planning, manufacturing, pre-assembly, pre-adjustment and To allow final assembly or final adjustment of a device. Furthermore, it is a goal of present invention to make the manufacturer-side pre-adjustment so that the customer Although a final adjustment can be made, but this by the manufacturer is verifiable.

Diese Aufgaben werden erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch diese Lösung ist eine Justierbarkeit in drei verschiedenen Richtungen gegeben.These tasks will be solved according to the invention by the features of claim 1. This solution provides adjustability in three different directions.

Weiters ist vorgesehen, daß das Halteelement des Kopfteils über einen Verbindungswinkel, der zwei einen Winkel einschließende Verbindungsflächen aufweist, von welchen die erste über zumindest eine planparallele Platte genormter Dicke, gegebenenfalls über ein Adapterstück mit dem Halteelement und die zweite über zumindest eine weitere planparallele Platte genormter Dicke mit dem Mittelteil lösbar verbunden ist, mit diesem verbunden ist, und daß das betätigbare Spannelement eine ebene Verbindungsfläche aufweist, welche über zumindest eine planparallele Platte genormter Dicke mit einer mittels eines Fluidums betätigbaren Betätigungseinrichtung lösbar verbunden und die Betätigungseinrichtung oder ein damit verbundenes Adapterstück eine weitere, mit der Verbindungsfläche des Spannelementes einen Winkel einschließende ebene Verbindungsfläche aufweist, welche über zumindest eine weitere planparallele Platte genormter Dicke mit dem Mittelteil lösbar verbunden ist, wobei die an dem Kopfteil vorgesehenen Verbindungsflächen mit den an dem oberen bzw. unteren Teilelement des Mittelteils vorgesehenen, einander zugeordneten Verbindungsflächen vorzugsweise einen rechten Winkel einschließen.It is further provided that the holding element of the head part via a connection angle, of the two enclosing an angle connecting surfaces, of which the first via at least one plane-parallel plate of standardized thickness, optionally via a Adapter piece with the holding element and the second via at least one other plane-parallel plate of standardized thickness is detachably connected to the middle part, with this is connected, and that the actuatable clamping element has a flat connection surface which has at least one plane-parallel plate of standardized thickness with a means detachably connected to a fluid actuable actuator and the Actuating device or an adapter piece connected thereto another, with the Connecting surface of the clamping element an angle enclosing level Connecting surface which, via at least one further plane-parallel plate standardized thickness is detachably connected to the central part, wherein the at the head part provided connecting surfaces with the at the upper and lower part of the element Middle part provided, mutually associated connection surfaces preferably one include right angle.

Eine weitere Lösung wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 2 gogeben. Durch diese Lösung ist eine Justierbarkeit in zwei verschiedenen Richtungen gegeben.Another solution is given by the features of claim 2. By this solution is an adjustability in two different Given directions.

Dabei kann vorgesehen werden, dass das Halteelement des Kopfteilsüber einen Verbindungswinkel, der zwei einen Winkel einschließende Verbindungsflächen aufweist, von welcher entweder die erste über zumindest eine planparallele Platte genormter Dicke, gegebenenfalls über ein Adapterstück, mit dem Halteelement oder die zweite über zumindest eine planparallele Platte genormter Dicke mit dem Mittelteil lösbar verbunden ist, mit diesem verbunden ist. Dadurch wird zusätzlich zur Justierung in Richtung normal zur planparallelen Platte des Mittelteils in einer weiteren Richtung eine Justiermöglichkeit gegeben.It can be provided that the holding element of the head part over a Connecting angle, which has two connecting surfaces enclosing an angle of which is either the first standardized thickness over at least one plane-parallel plate, optionally via an adapter piece, with the holding element or the second via at least a plane-parallel plate of standardized thickness is releasably connected to the central part, with this connected is. As a result, in addition to the adjustment in the direction normal to the plane-parallel Plate of the middle part in another direction given an adjustment possibility.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist vorgesehen, daß der zweiteilige Mittelteil ein oberes und ein unteres Teilelement mit je einer ebenen Verbindungsfläche aufweist, welche vertikal oder geneigt angeordnet sind.In an advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention provided that the two-part middle part of an upper and a lower sub-element, each with a having planar connecting surface, which are arranged vertically or inclined.

Durch diesen stark modularen Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung können die vom Kunden gewünschten Spann- und Haltevorrichtungen, z.B. Spanner, Zentrierstifte od.dgl., in einfacher Weise zur Gänze durch vorhandene CAD-Elemente generiert werden, sodaß der Planungsaufwand im Vergleich zu bestehenden Lösungen äußerst gering ist. Weiters können alle Elemente des modularen Aufbaus durch ihre Einfachheit (ebene Verbindungsflächen, keine Krümmungen) kostengünstig gefertigt und auf Lager gelegt werden, sodaß eine rasche Realisierung eines Projektes möglich ist. Ebenso sind für bestehende Anlagen ständig und rasch Ersatzteile verfügbar.Due to this highly modular design of the device according to the invention, the from Customers desired clamping and holding devices, e.g. Spanner, centering pins or the like., In simple way to be generated entirely by existing CAD elements, so that the Planning effort is extremely low compared to existing solutions.

Likewise are for existing equipment constantly and quickly available spare parts.

Durch die Justierbarkeit der Elemente des Kopfteils in zwei oder drei verschiedenen Richtungen sind werk- bzw. kundenseitig keine aufwendigen Anpassungen erforderlich, da die planparallelen Platten lediglich entfernt oder durch andere ausgetauscht, ergänzt bzw. ersetzt werden können, um die erforderliche Endjustierung durchzuführen. Für den Hersteller kann jede werks- bzw. kundenseitig durchgeführte Anpassung überprüft werden, da der Zustand der Vorrichtung bei Auslieferung leicht protokolliert werden kann, sodaß bei Justierfehlem die Ursache dieser Fehler rasch eruiert und behoben werden kann. Es können somit sogenannte Nullwerkzeuge hergestellt werden, bei denen nach Veränderung beim Kunden wieder schnell und einfach der ursprüngliche Zustand hergestellt werden kann.Due to the adjustability of the elements of the headboard in two or three different Directions are factory or customer side no costly adjustments required because the plane-parallel plates only removed or replaced by others, supplemented or can be replaced to perform the required final adjustment. For the manufacturer Any factory or customer carried out adjustment can be checked, as the Condition of the device at delivery can be easily logged, so that at Adjustment error the cause of these errors can be quickly identified and corrected.
