A rotatable shuttle transfer unit for transferring a workpiece from a first work station to a second work station along a predetermined path of travel wherein a pair of spaced carriages carry the workpiece along the predetermined path of travel and rotate the workpiece from a first angular orientation to a second angular orientation with respect to an axis of rotation. Preferably, the carriages rotate the workpiece while carrying the workpiece along the predetermined path of travel. The carriages are transported along a guiderail which extends between the first and second work stations. A continuous drive belt reciprocally drives the carriages along the guiderail wherein the continuous drive belt extends from one end of the guiderail to the opposite end of the guiderail. A vertical lift portion reciprocally moves the workpiece in a direction substantially normal to the predetermined path of travel. In addition, the carriages provide releasable power clamps for engaging and securing the workpiece.
Montage servant à transférer une pièce d'un poste d'usinage à un autre suivant une trajectoire déterminée, et constitué d'une paire de chariots porte-pièce qui non seulement assurent la translation de la pièce, mais peuvent la faire tourner autour d'un axe. De préférence, les chariots tournent la pièce en même temps qu'ils la transfèrent d'un poste à l'autre. Les chariots se déplacent dans une glissière reliant le poste de départ au poste d'arrivée. Une courroie de transmission sans fin allant d'une extrémité à l'autre de la glissière assure le mouvement alternatif des chariots entre les deux postes. Un organe de translation verticale déplace la pièce perpendiculairement à l'axe de la trajectoire principale. Les chariots sont munis d'organes de serrage débrayables pour saisir et immobiliser la pièce.
