    摘要: An avoidance conveying device and an avoidance conveying method are provided. The device includes a receiving device, a front lifting device, a transition device, a rear lifting device, and a sending device arranged in sequence along a direction of conveying glass sheets; the receiving device receives the glass sheets conveyed by a front roller conveyor of an original sheet production line; the sending device conveys the glass sheets to a rear roller conveyor of the original sheet production line; an avoidance channel is formed between the front lifting device and the rear lifting device. Pedestrians and forklifts directly pass through the glass production line at any time through the avoidance channel, shortening the travel distance and the travel duration of pedestrians and forklifts. The glass sheets are finally conveyed to the rear roller conveyor by bypassing the avoidance channel, which ensures continuous and uninterrupted transportation of the glass sheets.

    摘要: A lift structure of a rack storage system including a pair of vertical post, a pair of guide rail portions stacked one on top of the other, a mounting brace, and a mounting platform attached to the pair of vertical post. The mounting brace includes an adjustment mechanism to adjust an alignment between the pair of guide rail portions fastened together by a clamping plate. A load handling station is secured to the mounting platform to support loads transported to and from the rack storage system, wherein the load handling station is located by locating a position of the mounting platform.

    摘要: A method and system for stacking coils in which a coil stacker lifting head can be used to raise one or more coils from a conveyor assembly. The coil stacker lifting head can be automatically actuated using a actuating cylinder and a counter balance cylinder. The coil stacker lifting head can include an expanding mandrel to grab opposite edges of the coil and lift the coil. One or more of the coils can be lifted from a conveyor assembly by the coil stacker lifting head. After the one or more coils are lifted, a carriage assembly can transport the lifted one or more coils to a desired position. Once the one or more coils reach the desired position, the one or more coils are lowered to a surface. Upon reaching the surface, the mandrel automatically collapses to release the one or more coils and the mandrel is released from the coils.

    摘要: Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose a container unloader device. The container unloader device comprises a platform to receive a container, wherein the container comprises a package. The container unloader device also comprises a front panel configured to move between a raised orientation and a lowered orientation, wherein when the front panel being is in the raised orientation, the front panel is orthogonal with respect to the platform, and when the front panel is in the lowered orientation, the front panel and the platform form a continuous surface. The platform can be pivoted from a first angle to a second angle, that is greater than the first angle. The package leans against the front panel the front panel is in the raised orientation. The package is released on a surface of a conveyor when the front panel is in the lowered orientation.

    摘要: The present invention concerns an order-picking system, comprising a goods-in buffer (3) with at least one storage area (4), in which the picked goods units are stored before they leave the order-picking system, and at least one staging area (6), in which the picked goods units are staged automatically by an operating device in accordance with a predetermined sequence. In addition, the present invention comprise a pallet racking warehouse for a shipping buffer and a stacker crane for a corresponding pallet racking warehouse. A gravity conveyor (5) for the staging area of the shipping buffer is also the subject-matter of the present invention.
