ABSTRACT:
A system for transferring substantially identical fixtures, on each of which is mounted a workpiece, from a stack of said fixtures in a transferor magazine to a transferee magazine. Each of the magazines has substantially planar walls defining a prismatic interior space having a substantially rectangular cross-section and open top and bottom, or end, faces. The walls of the magazine are provided with spring catches for retaining in the storage space fixtures placed therein, with the catches defining that portion of the interior of the magazine constituting a fixture storage space. The transferor magazine is mounted on a transferor base, which is provided with a transferor station and apparatus for placing the catches of the transferor base in a condition so that fixtures in the storage space can descend into the transferor station. The transferee magazine is mounted on a transferee base which is provided with a transferee station. The transferee base is provided with a fixture loader for inserting a fixture positioned in the transferee station into the storage space of the transferee magazine. Apparatus is provided for moving fixtures in sequence from the transferor station to the transferee station. Work stations can be provided between the transferor base and the transferee base where manufacturing and testing operations can be conducted on the workpiece carried by each fixture.
