摘要:
A process for grading and packing produce including the steps of separating the produce into single units, aligning the single units such that a stem portion of each single unit is oriented in the same direction, imaging each single unit using an optical mechanism for capturing at least one image of the produce and comparing the at least one captured image to one or more control images to establish at least quality grade and size based on the comparison, applying sorting identification indicia to the exterior of the single unit based on the imaging; and packing the produce into a package based on the quality grade and size, with each package containing a plurality of single units of the same quality grade and a similar size.

A tool to bundle a plurality of elongate articles using a weldable tape includes a guide block, a motor assembly, and a drive block. The motor assembly can include a motor and a gear train. The drive block can include a first bracket, a second bracket, a first wheel assembly, a second wheel assembly, and a spring element. The drive block can connect to the gear train of the motor assembly using a slot and tooth arrangement. A rotation of the motor can cause a rotation of the first wheel assembly and the second wheel assembly of the drive block to feed the weldable tape through the tool.
摘要:
A strapping machine that includes a strap chute defining an arch through which loads are conveyed, the arch having an entrance and an exit, infeed and outfeed conveyors positioned at the arch entrance and exit, respectively, the conveyors defining a work surface, and a strapping head disposed at about the arch for conveying the strap around the loads, tensioning the strap, and securing the strap. The machine further includes a sensor disposed above the work surface and a controller. During operation in a back-to-back mode, the infeed and outfeed conveyors are actuated to move a first, strapped load, and a second, to be strapped load, through the arch, wherein the outfeed conveyor is driven at a faster speed than the infeed conveyor to create a gap between the first and second loads. The sensor senses the gap between the first and second loads and the infeed and outfeed conveyors are stopped when the second load is properly positioned within the arch, wherein the controller determines that the second load is properly positioned within the arch based on the sensing of the gap. The controller initiates a strapping operation for the second load during which the strap is pulled from the strap chute onto the second load, the strap is tensioned on the second load, and the strap is secured.
