摘要:
A tracking and control system for use with an article handling apparatus of the type comprising a first conveyor for the passage of articles in a first direction at a first conveyance velocity a second conveyor for the passage of articles in a second direction at an angle to the first direction at a second conveyance velocity, and a distributor for the routeing of articles from the first conveyor to the second conveyor, including an article handler disposed to push the articles from the first conveyor onto the second conveyor is described. The tracking and control system has an actuator operable upon the article handler to cause the same to push articles at a variable push velocity off the first conveyor and onto the second conveyor; a monitor to monitor a conveyance velocity of the second conveyor; a feedback controller to control the actuator such that a final push velocity as the article is pushed onto the second conveyor is more closely matched to the second conveyance velocity. An article handling apparatus and an article handling method are also described.

A handling unit (1) for hollow glass articles including: - a plurality of fingers (10), each configured to engage a corresponding hollow glass article in correspondence of a gripping area (12) and to drag said article along a connection trajectory between a gripping position and a release position, - a displacement mechanism (6, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7E) of said plurality of fingers (10) between the gripping position and the release position, - wherein each finger (10) of said plurality includes a nozzle (14) which can be supplied by means of pressurized air and arranged in correspondence of said gripping area (12), said nozzle (14) being configured for the ejection of air in a direction tangent with respect to said gripping area (12) so as to set a depression in correspondence of said gripping area (12) to hold a hollow glass article arranged in the gripping area (12) itself, the handling unit (1) being characterized in that it includes at least two control units (RQ, SV; PR, SVV; RQ; PR) of the supply airflow of the nozzles (14), wherein each control unit (RQ, SV; PR, SV; RQ; PR) of the airflow is configured to control at least one corresponding nozzle (14) independently of the nozzles (14) controlled by remaining control units (RQ, SV; PR, SV; RQ; PR) of the airflow.
摘要:
The invention relates to a system for correctly placing glass containers formed by the sections of an I.S. machine onto a conveyor. A pusher mechanism (138) moves containers from a deadplate to the conveyor. A container placement measurement system (142) provides a measured placement signal (144) indicative of the actual locations of containers moved onto the conveyer by the pusher mechanism. A summer (148) compares the measured placement signal (144) with a desired container placement signal (146) and generates a container placement error signal (150). A control system (152, 159, 156) uses the error signal (150) to provide modified pusher parameters to vary the operation of the pusher mechanism in a manner that will cause the error signal to be diminished.

In a machine for forming glass items, a forming section (1) has a forming assembly (9), and a bottom support structure (2) for supporting the forming assembly (9), which in turn has a rough mold (13); a finish mold (14); a transfer assembly (19) for transferring at least one glass mass being formed from the rough mold to the finish mold; an extractor (22) for extracting at least one glass item from the finish mold; a glass mass guide device (15), a mold closing device (16), and a punching device (18) associated with the rough mold; and a pneumatic blower device (20) and cooling device (21) associated with at least the finish mold; the bottom support structure (2) having a bottom hollow frame (4), and at least one top plate (5) separate from the bottom frame (4) and on which the whole forming assembly (9) rests and is connected.
摘要:
Jeder Hohlglasgegenstand (7) wird durch einen Überschieber von einer Absetzplatte (1) längs einer gekrümmten Bahn (10) derart auf das Transportband (5) übergeschoben, dass die gekrümmte Bahn (10) tangential an einen Berührungspunkt (11) mit einer Bewegungsrichtung (6) des Transportbands (5) herangeführt wird. Im Anschluss an den Berührungspunkt (11) wird jeder Hohlglasgegenstand (7) durch den Überschieber noch um ein lineares Wegstück (12) in der Bewegungsrichtung (6) des Transportbands (5) weitergeschoben bis zu einem Lösepunkt (13), in dem der Überschieber von dem Hohlglasgegenstand (7) gelöst wird. Anschließend wird der Überschieber zu dem Ausgangspunkt (8) zurückbewegt.
摘要:
An I.S. bottle forming machine in which a formed bottle (10) is delivered by a takeout mechanism (140) to a deadplate (240) where it is suspended for cooling. A temperature sensor (125) is mounted to monitor the suspended bottle. When the sensed temperature shows an unacceptable variation, the takeout mechanism and deadplate are displaced relative to one another so that the suspended bottle is located above a cullet chute (13) for disposal.
