WORKPIECE TAKE-OUT AND SUPPLY DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a workpiece take-out and supply device capable of surely holding an annular workpiece by a simple structure. SOLUTION: A workpiece holding tool 1 mounts a guide pipe 3 on a frame 2 and inserts a centering shaft 5 into the guide pipe 3. A flange 6 fixed to the shaft 5 is energized in a projecting direction by a spring 7 provided outside the guide pipe 3. Fingers 8 are provided on a lower surface of the frame 2. As for the fingers 8, the three fingers 8 are provided at equal intervals in a peripheral direction, for instance, are made openable/closable in a radial direction orthogonal to a shaft direction of the shaft 5 and are energized in closing directions by the non-illustrated spring 7. Opening/closing centers of the three fingers 8 and the shaft 5 are set to coincide with each other. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
