Definitions

  • the invention relates to a magnetic gripper for gripping and handling of ferromagnetic workpieces, comprising a housing, on which a housing bottom is provided which has an end face facing the workpiece to be gripped and at least one magnetic piston arranged in the housing, the at least one connection for a working fluid is assigned for moving the magnetic piston, so that the magnetic piston is transferred to a working position at a first working pressure, in which the working piston is positioned at or close to the housing bottom and is transferred with a further working pressure in a rest position, in which the magnetic piston removed to the housing bottom is positioned.
  • Such a magnetic gripper is from the DE 199 51 703 A1 known.
  • the magnetic piston is acted upon by a working pressure, so that it bears against the housing bottom. This results in a magnetization of the ferromagnetic workpiece, which is fixed to the end face of the housing by the magnetic holding force.
  • a pressure pulse acts on the magnetic piston, so that it moves to a remote position to the housing bottom, whereby the magnetic field is weakened and the workpiece can be stored or released.
  • Such magnetic grippers are preferably used in workpieces which, due to their requirement or already performed machining, have a variety of holes, penetrations, transformations and / or complicated geometric shapes, such as lattice structures. Due to the fact that the movement of the magnetic piston takes place in a closed space and the holding of the workpiece is carried out by the magnetic force, single pressure pulses or pressure surges are sufficient to allow gripping or depositing of the workpiece. As a result, such magnetic grippers can work with low energy.
  • the disadvantage with such magnetic grippers is that an automatic detection of whether a workpiece was picked up or not taken, or whether it has been lost during transport, can not be detected. As automation progresses, however, it is desirable and necessary to monitor such work situations as well.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a magnetic gripper of the type mentioned in such a way that while maintaining the previous operating principle, an independent state recognition is made possible to determine whether a workpiece on the magnetic gripper exists or not available.
  • the at least one magnetic device associated with a detection device which is provided in or on the housing to the holding of the workpiece or the absence of the workpiece to capture, has the advantage that an active process monitoring is possible with such magnetic grippers. This can improve process reliability.
  • This at least one detection device in or on the magnetic gripper thus makes it possible to detect whether a magnetizable workpiece has been gripped and held by the magnetic gripper and whether such a workpiece has been lost during transport or handling movement.
  • a magnetic gripper is provided which allows a state recognition with respect to the workpiece to be handled.
  • the at least one detection device determines a working pressure of the working fluid as a function of its own active or inactive working position. Due to the design of the detection device, which determines a respective working pressure or change in the working pressure of the working fluid when changing their active or inactive working position, the previous operation and the previous structure of the magnetic gripper can be maintained.
  • the applied and constantly maintained working pressure which is preferably given in the detection device in an active working position or the changing working pressure, which is preferably given in the detection device in a non-active working position, is evaluated for detecting and monitoring the prevailing conditions. As a result, the previously created arrangement and the structure of a handling device with one or more magnetic grippers can be maintained.
  • a working pressure in particular a negative pressure or a vacuum
  • the detection device maintains the applied working pressure when gripping or handling the workpiece.
  • a negative pressure or vacuum is applied as working pressure and the working pressure degrades in the absence, release or placement of the workpiece.
  • a further state detection or change of the state detection can in turn be detected via the working pressure of the working fluid for controlling the magnetic piston. The same applies if an overpressure is provided as working pressure.
  • the detection device is arranged in the housing of the magnetic gripper and associated with a closed space formed between the magnetic piston and the housing.
  • a preferred further embodiment of the invention provides that the at least one detection device is integrated in the movable magnetic piston.
  • the detection device is always used only when the magnetic piston is actually transferred to a working position to perform a handling.
  • the detection device is designed as a magnetically controllable valve arrangement, which controls a passage in the magnetic piston between a piston space which can be acted upon by the working fluid with a working pressure and an opposite movement space which can be acted upon by a further working pressure.
  • the advantageously designed as a magnetically controllable valve assembly detection device comprises a valve carrier with a valve seat and a slidably disposed therein control valve having a valve seat surface.
  • the valve seat surface In an active working position of the valve assembly, the valve seat surface abuts the valve seat and closes the passage between the movement space and the piston chamber in the housing of the magnetic gripper.
  • the control valve has at least one permanent magnet at an end facing the housing bottom.
  • the control valve of the detection device is held by a force storage element in an inactive working position and lifted relative to the valve seat.
  • This inactive working position enables a vacuum or negative pressure can not be maintained, unless in the region of the detection device no workpiece is assigned to the end face of the housing.
  • the energy storage element which is preferably designed as a spiral or compression springs, has a spring force which is smaller than a resulting on the at least one permanent magnet on the control valve Magnethaltekraft as soon as a workpiece is assigned to the end face of the housing.
  • At least one guide section is provided between the control valve and the valve carrier. This can be given an immediate guidance of the control valve in the valve carrier. Thus, a structurally simple and tilt-free recording is given in the valve carrier.
  • a guide section is preferably provided between the valve seat and the permanent magnet on the control valve, which has at least one channel-shaped recess and forms a portion of the passage between the movement space and the piston chamber.
  • the control valve when transferring the magnetic piston into a working position and when magnetizing the workpiece for positioning the workpiece on the end face of the housing bottom, the control valve can be converted by the magnetic force of its permanent magnet in an active working position.
  • the control valve in particular the valve seat surface provided on the control valve, lies at the valve seat and closes the passage between the piston and the movement space.
  • ambient air can not flow via the preferably associated with the environment movement space in the housing or affect the voltage applied in the movement space working in those of the piston chamber, and the applied working pressure in the piston chamber for transferring the magnetic piston in its working position is maintained.

  • a connecting line is formed between the detection device and the associated port of the housing for supplying and discharging the working fluid.
  • the maintenance of the working pressure or the change of the working pressure can be detected by at least one sensor.
  • This at least one sensor is preferably provided on a valve strip remote from the individual magnetic grippers.
  • the valve bar is connected to a large number of pressure lines which lead to the pneumatic connection of the magnetic grippers and to signal lines of a control and evaluation device. Each pressure line is interrogated and monitored by the sensor at the prevailing working pressure.
