Abstract:
Method and device for handling, particularly stacking, profile parts. Device for handling profile parts extending in a longitudinal direction and defining an axis parallel to said longitudinal direction, said device comprising means for linearly and/or axially positioning said parts perpendicularly to said longitudinal direction and for conveying said parts and/or for stacking said parts, said device comprising at least one supporting member arranged parallel to said longitudinal direction and provided for supporting means for picking up said parts, characterised in that said means for picking up and said means for linearly and/or axially positioning being formed by at least four arms each having a first end and a second end located at a distance from each other, which arms are each pivotably mounted with their first end to said supporting member, each of said arms comprising at their second end means for grabbing said parts and rotating said parts about said axis, each of said arms further comprising means for varying said distance, said at least four arms being provided to operate in at least two sets of arms, wherein each of said set of arms comprises at least two of said at least four arms.
Abstract:
A device for handling profile parts, including a mechanism for linearly and/or axially positioning such parts perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the profiles, for conveying, for measuring, for controlling the cutting and/or for stacking such parts, with at least one supporting beam placed parallel to the longitudinal direction of the profiles wherein the beam is provided with a mechanism for picking up the parts, and wherein the device includes a mechanism for axially rotating the beam and a mechanism for linearly moving the beam in two or more directions perpendicular to its longitudinal direction.
