Abstract:
1. An arrangement for machining workpieces ( 4 ) including at least a first and a second machining station ( 1 , 2 ) in each of which piece ( 4 ) can be machined concurrently during an operating cycle comprising a machining phase and a transport phase, and a transport unit ( 3 ) including a revolving head ( 3 ) with accommodation structures ( 5 ) for the workpieces ( 4 ) which accommodation structures ( 5 ) are in each case arranged on a lever arm ( 6 a ) which is connected to the revolving head ( 3 ) so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis ( 6 c ) and by which the workpieces ( 4 ) can be supplied during the transport phase, one to the first machining station ( 1 ) by moving the transportation structures ( 5 ). in a transport direction ( 3 a ), and a second one to the second machining station ( 2 ) arranged in the transport direction ( 3 a ) in spaced relationship after the first machining station ( 1 ), the accommodation structure ( 5 ) being pivotally supported on the transport unit ( 3 ) for position adjustment thereon, each accommodation structure ( 5 ) having at least a first and a-second shell ( 5 a , 5 b ) for receiving at least a first and a second workpiece and, while the revolving head ( 3 ) is at a standstill, the accommodation structure, after a first workpiece has been supplied to its first shell in a first position thereof, is pivoted to a second subsequent position in which a second workpiece is supplied to the second shell while the workpieces in the at least first and the second machining stations are concurrently machined.
