A plurality of pallets) 1 are arranged so as to be movable on an oval track within one plane by a feeding means such as a chain feeding mechanism,
At one position on the oval track, step work such as attaching unprocessed workpieces to the pallet or removing processed workpieces from the pallet is performed, and the workpiece is placed at another position on the barre (1). A configuration in which the pallet changer or robot transfers the workpiece to and from the automatic processing machine, or a plurality of pallet mounting surfaces are secured on a flat table of a stationary stand, and unprocessed workpieces are loaded from there to the automatic processing machine using an appropriate conveyance means. Delivering pallets or pallets with processed workpieces) 1
Many methods have been adopted in which the material is returned from an automatic processing machine. In other words, since conventional pallet magazines secure a pallet storage surface within a flat plane, the required area inevitably increases as the number of pallets increases, and therefore, as the scale of the production system increases, it becomes extremely difficult to store the pallets. There is a disadvantage that a large area space must be secured. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method in which pallets move on an oval-shaped track, a workpiece to be processed is placed, and then multiple pallets move simultaneously and reach the pallet receiving/receiving position one after another. There is a disadvantage that a large amount of energy is required and therefore a driving source with a large output is required. In addition, if multiple automatic processing machines are arranged adjacent to the pallet magazine, the pallet storage capacity of the pallet magazine must also be increased, which increases the above-mentioned area space and the need for a high-output drive source. This is a drawback that makes it difficult to adopt in small and medium-sized production systems.

Since the pallet magazine has a pallet storage cell with a large number of pallet storage shelves in a cylindrical three-dimensional space, it is possible to store a large number of pallets while saving the planar space occupied by the pallet magazine. It is also possible to configure a highly efficient flexible production system using the factory area. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the movement of pallets within the pallet magazine is carried out for each pallet by a single pivoting lifter having pallet gripping means, so that in conventional magazines, multiple pallets are used for the movement of one pallet. Compared to the case where multiple pallets must be moved at the same time, the load on the drive source is reduced, contributing to energy savings. Furthermore, since the pallet is moved between target positions by only moving up and down a certain amount and turning movement with a certain radius, rapid movement is achieved, and pallet transfer to and from the processing machine is also achieved quickly. can do. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, eight pallet storage cells are formed on the same circumference and arranged in four stages, but it goes without saying that the number of pallet storage cells can be increased or decreased as required.
