German term
Arbeitstisch
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Automation & Robotics
Robot cells
Forgive me for what may look like a silly/basic question, but what is the "Arbeitstisch" in a robot cell called? I can find just about any possible term such as desk, table, operating table etc. in combination with "robot cell", but am unsure which is the right technical term for what is being referred to here.
e.g.
Arbeitstisch: Starrtisch oder Werkstückwechsler
e.g.

working table
... might be an option here. I've found some relevant sources, such as

"Motoman EA 1900N Arc Welding <B>Robot cell</B> with a horizontal reach of 75” and a vertical reach of 134.6”. Features a two-sided rotary turntable with each side of the turntable having a <B>working table</B> of 101”x40”."

"The <B>working table</B> and vacuum cups positioning can be fully automated in order to set-up quickly the working area, reducing set-up times considerably."

Yes, but it's a workpiece changer rather than a tool changer :-)

Ingrid is right - "work table" appears to be used even more frequently.
Cf. example at http://www.mwponline.co.uk/Features/fabrication_in_good_form
"The materials handling concept employed on this flying-optic machine breaks the mould of twin-pallet and automatic pallet exchange that has dominated the laser-profiling scene now for some 20 years. The single <B>work-table</B> format with simultaneous load and unload from left to right seems to owe much to Trumpf's Sheetmaster handling devices employed on punching machines - with a hint of Mazak 'fork removal'."

Note from asker:
Thanks. It really seems so simple now, even though there are similar numbers of hits for desk and operating table in connection with fixed table or tool changer, but those for working table are indeed more relevant. |
