Werkstuecktraeger zur Aufnahme von aneinander reihbaren, vorzugsweise ring- oder rohrfoermigen Werkstuecken sowie Vorrichtung und Verfahren zum Beladen und Entleeren eines Werkstuecktraegers

The workpiece holder (1) has a foundation body (G) such as a stacking frame open on one side with an internal structure for holding the workpieces (6) which are set by their outside on a straight-lined holder unit (2), mounted in the workpiece holder so that when the holder lies on a horizontal plane the straight-lined holder unit is inclined to the horizontal so that the workpieces on the unit lean inclined against each other. The holder unit can be concave or have at least two parallel rod elements. The concave shape can match the size and shape of the outside face of the workpieces and has a prismatic cross-section so that the workpieces rest with the smallest possible surface on the concave shape. USE - Especially for handling and storing inner and outer roller bearing rings. ADVANTAGE - Allows automatic filling and unloading.
