ABSTRACT:
A workpiece storing and handling apparatus particularly adapted for loading parts in a multiple spindle chucking machine wherein the spindles and chucks are indexible successively to a transfer station. A rotary part table has a circumaxial series of part receiving rests and is indexed to move the parts to a transfer station in succession. A gripper on a transfer arm engages a part at the transfer station and swings the same in a composite arcuate motion to a ready position in horizontal alignment with a chuck at the machine transfer station. The arm and gripper then move the part linearly in a horizontal plane to the open chuck and return to the ready position for arcuate return movement to the table transfer station. A transfer arm support shaft is swingable through an arc in a vertical plane by a fluid operable cylinder and is simultaneously rotated about its axis by a bevel gear arrangement to provide the required composite arcuate motion of the arm. A housing mounting the shaft and bevel gears is translatable by a second fluid cylinder along a horizontal slide rod arrangement to provide the required linear movement of the arm and gripper from the ready position to the load position adjacent the chuck. A discharge chute has a hinged end section beneath the chuck for receiving parts from the chuck and the hinged section is swingable downwardly for chuck clearance during indexing of the chucks.
