ABSTRACT:
An automatic supply and storage system for machined materials includes; a feed conveyor which aligns and recycles a plurality of machined materials; a delivery conveyor which moves back and forth from the conveying area of the feed conveyor to advance and receive back the machined materials and to convey the machined materials for further processing in a direction transverse to the conveying direction of the feed conveyor; and a storage conveyor having a plurality of buckets which are intermittently recycled to store the machined materials, after further machining, in a prescribed bucket. The buckets have an aperture section which can be opened and closed in both the vertical and sideways directions. The system thus has the capability of feeding the machined materials to a machine tool, and after feeding a specified amount, sending the materials back to the feed conveyor.
Also, a remnant selection device is positioned in the discharge end direction of the delivery conveyor to form a machined material transportation passage conforming to the quantity of machined material remnants. Remnants which are shorter than a prescribed length are rejected. A remnant collection hook which engages remnants which exceed the prescribed length and returns the remnants to the delivery conveyor then to the feed conveyor.
A prestock passage aligns and stores the materials after processing and is movable to a push-out position in a direction transverse to the direction of delivery of the materials from the prestock passage to the storage conveyor.
