    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for handling green ceramic monoliths that includes a lifting apparatus including a body and at least two support prongs that extend from the body, the at least two support prongs configured to support a green ceramic monolith thereon. The system also includes a support tray that receives the green ceramic monolith from the lifting apparatus and includes a base, a plurality of ridges, and a plurality of grooves, wherein each of the plurality of grooves is spaced apart from an adjacent groove by one of the plurality of ridges. The system further includes an actuator coupled to the lifting apparatus, wherein the actuator is operable to manipulate the lifting apparatus to engage the support tray and thereby transfer support of the green ceramic monolith from the at least two support prongs of the lifting apparatus to the plurality of ridges.

    Abstract: Centering apparatuses and methods for precision placement of a product or component, such as a ceramic honeycomb body, prior to a post-production processing steps are provided. In particular, after extrusion of a component or ware, the component or ware oftentimes requires one or more post-production processing steps in order to obtain a final product. The centering apparatuses and methods described herein provide for the precise and accurate centering of the product (or component) prior to performing these post-production processing steps, thereby obtaining repeatable, consistent, high-quality final products.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a honeycomb structure includes providing a honeycomb body having a first contour extending between opposing first and second ends and chamfering a corner of the first end in a radial and axial direction toward the first contour to form a second contour. The method further includes removing material in an axial direction toward the second face to form a third contour, chamfering a corner of the third contour in a radial and axial direction toward the second end to form an end contour, and removing material in an axial direction toward the first face to form a fourth contour. Removing material to form the fourth contour substantially removes the second contour and the end contour.
