METHOD AND DEVICE FOR STACKING PLATE-SHAPED OBJECTS ONE OVER THE OTHER
The invention relates to a transferring device (10) for plates for accumulators, said plates being combined into pairs, wherein each pair comprises a pocketed and a non-pocketed plate. The transferring device has two continuously rotating supports (11), in which claw plates (13) with claws (16) are mounted. The claws (16) of the claw plates (13) grip a plate pair and move same to a table (3) on which a stack of pocketed and non-pocketed plates for accumulators is formed. When a stack is formed which should contain an additional non-pocketed plate (23) for accumulators, the additional plate (23) for accumulators is aligned while being moved towards the table (3) in that the claw plates (13), on the claws (16) of which the plate (23) lies, is moved out of the supports (11) until the claw plates rest against the lateral edges (22) of the plate (23). The plate (23) for accumulators aligned in this manner is then deposited on the table (3) or on a stack located there in an aligned manner.

For welding a longitudinal seam of cladding tubes of cables, wherein the cladding tubes consist of a metal strip bent into a tube (5), an apparatus (1) is provided, comprising two welding devices (2, 3) each with two welding heads (10, 11). While the longitudinal seam is being welded, the welding guns of the welding heads (10, 11) are made to track along the welding location with the aid of optical devices (15) that are designed in the manner of a Scheimpflug camera and capture the position of the welding location (join) between the longitudinal edges of the metal strip bent into the tube (5). A further laser device 20 captures the vertical position of the tube (5), and so the welding head (10, 11) can in each case be kept at the correct distance from the tube (5) and made to track correspondingly. The use of two welding devices (2, 3) makes it possible when performing maintenance work or exchanging the welding electrodes of the welding heads (10, 11) of one welding device (2 or 3) to use the other welding device (3 or 2) respectively, and so continuous working is possible.
A device for moving plate-shaped objects from a removal point, in which the objects are oriented substantially perpendicularly, to a delivery point, in which the objects are oriented substantially horizontally, includes a removal gripper moveable to and fro between the removal and the delivery points by a drive and which is rotated during the movement. The removal gripper is arranged on a lever so as to rotate with respect to the lever, which is pivoted to and fro by a drive. The removal gripper is connected to a shaft mounted rotatably in the lever and on which a wheel is fastened. An elongate, flexible element is placed over the wheel and fixed immovably in the direction of the longitudinal extension thereof. During pivoting of the lever, the wheel rolls on the elongate element. The movement of the gripper is thus superimposed with a rotational movement of the removal gripper.
