摘要:
A separating and transfer conveyor for stacked fabric parts. An endless conveyor (38) feeds the stack (35) into position for separating the uppermost part from the stack. A mechanism having a knife edge bar (86) or opposed fabric engaging needles (218) is lowered and engages the part for dragging the part to be separated off the stack. The second part on the stack is held with the stack by a pressure force by a series of vacuum providing orifices or recesses (124 and 125) in a horizontally disposed support surface and/or by retractable fabric piercing needles (228). The part separating and translating bar is connected to a support plate which may be vibrated in a generally horizontal plane to assist in breaking the frictional connection between the part to be separated and remaining parts in the stack as they are separated from each other. The separated parts are presented seriatim to a guide surface (14) which guides the part under the conveyance of an air jet stream along a feed path to another work station (40).

The invention relates to a device (1) and a method for preparing a packaging box (2, 74) from at least one storage location (3) for a stack (4, 68, 69) of corrugated cardboard cut-outs, including means (6) for moving the stack forward while same is being unstacked and means (7) for unstacking the cut-outs by means of suction. Since the cut-outs are stacked vertically, the means (6) for moving the stack forward comprise a plate (8) for lifting the stack vertically up to an engagement plane (9) for the cut-out (28) located on top. The device comprises means (27) for locating the X, Y, Z position (p i ) of the top cut-out in the storage location and means (29) for calculating the X, Y, Z path, comprising a vertical component, and means for unstacking on the basis of said position (p i ), which are designed to control the movement of said unstacking means between a position (9) for grasping the cut-out and a position for positioning same a predetermined work station likewise located at X, Y, Z.
摘要:
Inserter (1) for inserting postal items into envelopes (11), wherein an envelope catcher (21) separates the envelopes and transports the envelopes away from the stack of empty envelopes and the envelopes are subsequently transported further with the initially leading flap end trailing. The envelope catcher is suspended for movement and drivable along a catcher path (24), of which at least a section extends closely along the envelope to be separated. When the envelope is transported away from the envelope catcher with its flap end trailing the flap is folded open.
