Claims
- 1. An apparatus for producing a device for detaching portions of a substantially planar workpiece having at least one blank in the form of a desired product and adjoining waste pieces and for moving said waste pieces out of a plane of said workpiece wherein said device includes a breaking-out plate for detaching said portions of said substantially planar workpiece from said waste pieces, said apparatus comprising:
- a breaking-out pin setting device;
- said breaking-out pin setting device comprising a magazine device containing a plurality of breaking-out pins and means for removing said breaking-out pins from said magazine device and inserting said pins into said breaking-out plate in a desired pattern corresponding to locations of said waste pieces;
- said removing and inserting means comprising a pressure member movable in a direction substantially at a right angle with respect to a surface of said breaking-out plate into which said pins are to be inserted;
- said magazine device including an elongate conveyor member passing between said pressure member and said plate;
- a guide arrangement for said conveyor member; and
- said conveyor member being pivotable out of the path of movement of said pressure member by said guide arrangement.
- 2. An apparatus for producing a device for detaching portions of a substantially planar workpiece having at least one blank in the form of a desired product and adjoining waste pieces and for moving said waste pieces out of a plane of said workpiece wherein said device includes a breaking-out plate for detaching said portions of said substantially planar workpiece from said waste pieces, said apparatus comprising:
- a breaking-out pin setting device;
- said breaking-out pin setting device comprising a magazine device containing a plurality of breaking-out pins and means for removing said breaking-out pins from said magazine device and inserting said pins into said breaking-out plate in a desired pattern corresponding to locations of said waste pieces;
- said removing and inserting means comprising a pressure member movable in a direction substantially at a right angle with respect to a surface of said breaking-out plate into which said pins are to be inserted;
- said magazine device including an elongate conveyor member passing between said pressure member and said plate;
- a pivotable rail system having a pair of rails flanking said conveyor member on both sides for guiding said conveyor member; and
- one of the rails of the rail system being interrupted in the region of the direction of movement (x) of the pressure member.
- 3. An apparatus for producing a device for detaching portions of a substantially planar workpiece having at least one blank in the form of a desired product and adjoining waste pieces and for moving said waste pieces out of a plane of said workpiece wherein said device includes a breaking-out plate for detaching said portions of said substantially planar workpiece from said waste pieces, said apparatus comprising:
- a breaking-out pin setting device;
- said breaking-out pin setting device comprising a magazine device containing a plurality of breaking-out pins and means for individually removing said breaking-out pins from said magazine device and for partially inserting said pins in a non-rotatable manner into said breaking-out plate in a desired pattern corresponding to locations of said waste pieces;
- said removing and inserting means comprising a pressure member movable in a direction substantially at a right angle with respect to a surface of said breaking-out plate into which said pins are to be inserted;
- said magazine device comprising an elongate conveyor member which passes between said pressure member and said plate;
- said conveyor member releasably supporting a plurality of said breaking-pins at a fixed spacing from each other and being movable in a first direction parallel to said plate and intersected by the direction of movement of said pressure member;
- said pressure member being movable toward a breaking-out pin in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of at least one breaking-out pin;
- the conveyor member comprising a magazine strip having a plurality of clamping members for releasably supporting said breaking-out pins, the clamping members being arranged at substantially equal spacings (e) from each other;
- each clamping member comprising gripping ribs which are curved in cross-section towards each other and which form a slotted sleeve;
- said gripping ribs being formed on a main surface of the magazine strip transversely relative to a longitudinal axis of the strip;
- at least one abutment projection associated with each pair of gripping ribs; and
- said at least one abutment projection accommodating a collar of a breaking-out pin fitted into a respective pair of gripping ribs.
- 4. An apparatus for producing a device for detaching portions of a substantially planar workpiece having at least one blank in the form of a desired product and adjoining waste pieces and for moving said waste pieces out of a plane of said workpiece wherein said device includes a breaking-out plate for detaching said portions of said substantially planar workpiece from said waste pieces, said apparatus comprising:
- a breaking-out pin setting device;
- said breaking-out pin setting device comprising a magazine device containing a plurality of breaking-out pins and means for individually removing said breaking-out pins from said magazine device and for partially inserting said pins in a non-rotatable manner into said breaking-out plate in a desired pattern corresponding to locations of said waste pieces; and
- said removing and inserting means comprising a pressure member movable in a direction substantially at a right angle with respect to a surface of said breaking-out plate into which said pins are to be inserted, said pressure member comprising a piston having at least one of a hollow rod directed towards the conveyor member and a sleeve portion which upon movement of the piston towards the conveyor member receives a shank portion of a breaking-out pin.
- 5. Apparatus according to claim 4 characterized in that the breaking-out pin is held to the piston by at least one of a magnet and a spring.
- 6. Apparatus according to claim 4 characterized in that the piston is provided with a drive which acts as a hammer tool for a breaking-out pin being held by said piston.
- 7. Apparatus according to claim 4 further comprising:
- said breaking-out pin engaged by said piston being releasable from said conveyor member by lateral pivotal movement thereof.
