In a resin wheel manufacturing method for forming, with a mold, a material made of a thermoplastic fiber-reinforced resin, the temperature of the mold is set to a temperature lower than a melting point of a resin matrix of the material. As the material, a billet-shaped material and a sheet-shaped material are prepared, and heated to a temperature higher than the melting point of the resin matrix. The heated billet-shaped material is held in the mold surrounded by a disc outer surface mold and a rim outer diameter mold, and the sheet-shaped material is held on a surface of the rim outer diameter mold on a punch mold side. While the sheet-shaped material is subjected to deep draw forming to form the rim portion of the wheel, the billet-shaped material is subjected to compression forming with a part of the sheet-shaped material pressed against the billet-shaped material.

A resin wheel in which a rim portion and a disc portion are integrated together is manufactured with good moldability and in an extremely short period of time. In a resin wheel manufacturing method where a material 11 made of a thermoplastic fiber-reinforced resin is molded with a mold 31, the mold 31 is set at a temperature lower than the melting point of the resin matrix of the material 11. A billet-shaped material 11b and a sheet-shaped material 11a are provided as the material 11, and heated to a temperature higher than the melting point of the resin matrix thereof. The heated billet-shaped material 11b is retained inside the mold 31 surrounded by a disc outer surface mold 32 and a rim outer diameter mold 33, and the sheet-shaped material 11a is retained on the surface of a punch mold 34-side in the rim outer diameter mold 33. The punch mold 34 is lowered to deep-draw the sheet-shaped material 11a to form the rim portion of the wheel, while pressing a part of the sheet-shaped material 11a onto the billet-shaped material 11b to bond the materials together and simultaneously the billet-shaped material 11b is compression-molded to form the disc portion of the wheel.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a conveyance device 10 and a conveyance method capable of efficiently moving multiple parts P after cutting. This conveyance device 10 is for picking up multiple parts P obtained by cutting a sheet material S from a placement surface 11a of a pickup table 11 on which the parts P are placed, and moving the parts, said conveyance device being characterized by comprising: a control unit 75 for storing part position information indicating positions of the multiple parts P in the sheet material S; a pickup unit 3 where multiple suction parts 32, each having a suction port 32a for suction by negative pressure, are arranged side by side on a lower surface thereof; a suction-assisting means (open/close valve 34 and control unit 75) for assisting with the suction of the parts P by the suction parts 32 on the basis of the positions of the parts P indicated by the parts position information; and a conveyance means (conveyance mechanism unit 2 and control unit 75) for causing the pickup unit 3 holding the parts P by suction to move in a substantially horizontal conveyance direction X.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a transportation device 10 with which it is possible to minimize required space regardless of the position of a suction part 275. This transportation device 10 for picking up and moving a component P from a placement surface 11a of a pickup table 11 on which a plurality of components P obtained by cutting a sheet material S are placed is characterized in being provided with: one or more pickup arms 25 having, at the tip, a suction part 275 for suctioning a component P; a column part 23 that supports the base part of the pickup arm 25; and a movement unit 22 that moves the pickup arm 25 in a substantially horizontal transportation direction X, the pickup arm 25 being provided with an arm body 26, which is constituted by a link mechanism obtained by linking a plurality of link members having thickness in the vertical direction and which moves the suction part 275 in an extension/contraction direction Y, and an actuator 28 for actuating the link mechanism of the arm body 26.
[Problem] To make it possible for work that involves picking up a plurality of types of parts lined up on the same plane to be precisely carried out even without relying on a pickup device. [Solution] The present invention comprises: a pickup table 15 that is provided downstream of a cutting table 13 on which a sheet material S is cut and divided into a plurality of parts P that are lined up on the same plane, the pickup table 15 causing the parts P to stand by while remaining in the same state as that during cutting; and a projector 16 that projects, onto the parts P on the pickup table 15, a parts information image Ia that is used in the cutting process and is generated from graphic data. The pickup table 15 is configured from a conveyor. Due to a conveyor control unit for controlling driving of the conveyor, the parts information image Ia projected by the projector 16 and the parts P are caused to match, and the parts P to be picked up are clarified.
