Abstract:
The present invention relates to a gripper device for picking up and releasing a group of food slices, the group of slices being arranged with a slice at one end lying on a support surface and each subsequent slice through to the slice at the other end lying against the preceding slice and being displaced relative to the preceding slice. A counter hold is provided opposite a first structure which comprises a first blade portion. A displacement mechanism is provided for moving at least one of the first structure and the counter hold away from and towards the other. A tilting mechanism is able to rotate the blade portion. To pick up a group of food slices, at least one of the first structure and the counter hold moves towards the other. The tilting mechanism rotates the first blade portion such that it tilts towards the counter hold causing the group of food slices to be arranged in a stack between the first blade portion and the counter hold.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a transfer assembly for transferring discrete articles from or to a moving carrier member. The transfer assembly comprises a frame defining a rotation axis. The frame comprises a track having a circumferential shape surrounding the rotation axis. The transfer assembly comprises transfer members movably engaged with the track, each having a transfer surface. The transfer assembly comprises a wheel engaged with the frame and configured to rotate about the rotation axis. The wheel is engaged with the transfer members. As the wheel rotates about the rotation axis, the transfer members circumnavigate about a path about the rotation axis in correspondence with the track. The shape of the track causes the transfer surfaces to move radially relative to the rotation axis while the transfer surfaces are maintained a substantially constant distance away from the moving carrier member at the point of discrete article transfer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a method of applying a fluid pressure to a portion of a transfer member of a transfer assembly. The transfer member rotates about a first rotation axis and comprises leading and trailing portions. The portion of the transfer member is rotatable about a second rotation axis between a first position and a second position. The method comprises providing a fluid conduit in fluid communication with the leading or trailing portion of the portion of the transfer member when the portion of the transfer member is in the first position, rotating the portion of transfer member between the first position and the second position, and maintaining the fluid conduit in fluid communication with the same of the leading or trailing portion of the portion of the transfer member after the portion of the transfer member is moved into the second position.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a rotating apparatus. It comprises a supporter configured to support and rotate glass; and a servo-motor arranged at a central position of the supporter and configured to support the supporter and to raise or lower the supporter.
Abstract:
A method and device for conveying large-area panels, particularly panes of glass, of extreme size over 40 metres long and over 6 metres wide, wherein the panel can be held from the bath side or the air side, said method comprising the following features: a) the panes of glass (10) delivered on conveyance rollers (17) are swung by means of a vertical hoisting device (20) either on the left side or right side at an acute angle, wherein the device (20) has finger-like carrying elements structured in a comb arrangement which grip through the conveyance rollers (17) and carry suction discs (12); b) swung in this way, the pane of glass (10) is gripped by means of a plurality of comb grippers (22) using suction discs (12), which grippers are synchronized in their sequence of movements, and placed on a stacking frame (15, 16), wherein the comb grippers (22) are moved on a plurality of guiding beams (2) arranged like a portal.
Abstract:
A machine for processing elements in sheet form, the machine having chainsets which move gripper bars for moving sheet elements through the machine. At least one tensioner device generates a tension force in the chainsets. The chainset tensioner device includes a drive member capable of generating a variable force, having an intensity dependent on the instantaneous production rate of the machine. Chainset wear is greatly reduced, and the life of the chainsets is lengthened considerably.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a rotation assembly for a transfer member of a transfer assembly. The rotation assembly comprises a torque transmitting assembly comprising input and output members, a link comprising a first end operably coupled to the input member and a second end comprising a follower member, a shaft comprising a first end operably coupled to the output member and a second end engaged with a portion of the transfer member, and a track. The follower is movably engaged with the track and circumnavigates about a path in correspondence with the track. The follower member is moved radially relative to a first rotation axis by the track as it circumnavigates about the path to transmit torque through the torque transmitting assembly and to the shaft. The torque causes a portion of the transfer member to rotate between a first position and a second position.
Abstract:
A product storage apparatus for collectively storing processed products includes an endless loop member that is circularly moved along a path, plural holders each of which is fixed to the endless loop member with a predetermined pitch and holds the processed products, and a drive unit that circularly moves the endless loop member to circularly move the plurality of holders intermittently by stopping the endless loop member temporarily at every move by a mathematical product of the pitch and a natural number n. According to the product storage apparatus, it is possible to store the processed products with high space efficiency.
