Abstract:
The present invention provides a transmission device and transmission method for glass substrate. The transmission device includes a transmission channel, a calibration mechanism and a decompression mechanism; wherein the transmission channel for loading and transmitting the glass substrate, the calibration mechanism being for calibrating position of the glass substrate, and the decompression mechanism collaborating with calibrating mechanism for applying a force to the glass substrate reduce the friction between the transmission channel and the glass substrate when the calibration mechanism calibrating the position of the glass substrate. As such, the abrasion or damage problem to the glass substrate can be prevented so as to improve the yield rate of the glass substrate.
Abstract:
A transfer apparatus of a line end of a folder-gluer for cardboard boxes includes a transfer bed (1) with a double, opposite array of transmission belts (C1a, C1b, C2a, C2b) which define a transfer track for the displacement of flattened, folded boxes, wherein the transfer bed (1) is oscillatingly mounted about a horizontal axis (a-a′) on a U-shaped support structure (21, 22, 24) which is in turn rotatingly mounted according to a vertical axis (b-b′) on a base frame (26), the rotation according to the horizontal axis (a-a′) and according to the vertical axis (b-b′) occurring through a first (M1) and a second (M2 M2′) motor, respectively.
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:
An apparatus for transferring articles such as absorbent cores or disposable diaper chassis components from a rotary mechanism, such as a pad turner, to a linear mechanism, such as a conveyor, for further processing. A puck on the apparatus is capable of stretching and rotating the article during this transfer procedure. The puck includes a pair of end segments each of which is arranged to move from a first position where each end segment is at a first distance and a first angle relative to the puck and a second position where each end segment is at a second distance and a second angle relative to the puck during the transfer process.
Abstract:
A device for carrying out a repitching operation, i.e., for changing the pitch between articles (A) comprised in a flow of moving articles, includes one or more conveying elements (12) for the articles (A) that are to follow a path of orbital movement about a principal axis (X10) between a position of picking-up (T) and a position of release (G) of the articles (A) themselves. The speed of said orbital movement is selectively variable (39, 37, 36) in the passage between the aforesaid positions of picking-up (T) and of release (G) so as to modify the pitch between the articles (A) carried by the conveying elements (12). Said conveying elements (12) are likewise orientable about a respective axis (X12) oriented in a radial direction with respect to the principal axis (X10) so as to modify the orientation of the articles (A) in the passage between the position of picking-up (T) and the position of release (G). There is present at least one cam formation (160), the cam profile of which follows the path of orbital movement of the conveying elements (12) about the principal axis (X10). The conveying element or each conveying element (12) is provided with a cam-follower element (158a, 158b) that can co-operate in a relationship of following with the aforesaid cam formation (160) for determining the orientation assumed by the respective conveying element (12) in the position of picking-up (T) and of release (G), irrespective of the speed of the aforesaid orbital movement.
