    摘要: Presented is a cooking robot system. The system includes a housing, a pair of cooking pots, and a motion mechanism to allow each of the cooking pots to perform a movement in 3 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) along horizontal, vertical, and rotational axes. The motion mechanism includes a horizontal motion arrangement, a vertical motion arrangement, and a rotational motion arrangement. The cooking robot system further includes a pair of heating elements rotatably coupled to the rotational motion arrangement. The heating arrangements detachably engage the cooking pots for heating the cooking ingredient contained in the cooking pots. The cooking robot system further includes a stirring mechanism for stirring the contents of the cooking pots, an ingredient-holding container containing cooking ingredients, and a dispenser assembly for selectively dispensing the cooking ingredients contained within the ingredient holding container.

    摘要: Systems and methods described herein are optimized for cutting sealing elements on packages using optical radiation. Packages can pass through a cutting device that applies the optical radiation to damage, vaporize, or cut the sealing element (e.g., tape) on the package. The systems and methods control several aspects of the cutting process to adjust throughput, improve efficiency, and reduce line stoppages. Systems can include an in-feed conveyor that orients packages and rejects packages that are out of specification, which can lead to issues such as jamming or damage to the equipment. Systems can include a variable-speed cut conveyor controlled by a computing system to dynamically adjust the speed of packages based upon historical cut quality, environmental measurement data, and height data related to a vertical dimension of the package.

    摘要: A reversing system for reversing a packing box, an upper surface of which is opened, and from which products are withdrawn, such that a lower surface of the reversed empty packing box is disposed above. A first conveyor transfers an empty packing box, an upper surface of which is opened, from a position at which products are withdrawn from the packing box to a position at which the packing box is reversed. A turning device holds the packing box to be turned about a horizontal rotation axis, and reverses the packing box. A second conveyor carries the reversed packing box to a position at which the bottom surface is opened. The turning device holds two sides, facing each other, among sides of the packing box, and turns and reverses the packing pox using a portion between the holding locations of the two held sides as a rotation axis.

    摘要: An article withdrawing system for withdrawing articles held in a packing box, the upper surface of which is opened. A first stage holds the packing box carried with the opened upper surface and reverses the packing box so that the articles held in the packing box falls down. A second stage supports and holds the falling-down articles. The first stage includes a support unit supporting and moving the packing box upward and downward, a box holding frame in which the support unit is mounted, a linear movement frame to which the box holding frame is rotatably coupled, a main frame in which the linear movement frame is coupled and supported to be linearly moved and is located and supported on the ground, and a first rotation driving means disposed in the linear movement frame and for rotating and driving the box holding frame.

    摘要: A method for unpacking a workpiece, in particular an optical lens or an optical lens blank, from a package, includes an automated cutting open step of a first package side of the package, and an automated sliding of the workpiece out of the package step on the first package side. An unpacking apparatus for unpacking a workpiece from a package, has a feed station for receiving a package in which a workpiece is arranged, a cutting-open station having a first cutting or sawing tool for the automated cutting open of a first package side of the package downstream of the feed station, and a slide-out station downstream of the cutting-open station. A relative movement can be produced between the package and the workpiece in an automated manner so that the workpiece slides out of the package on the first package side.

    摘要: Coil has been produced by coiling of a strip. The coil has two end faces and a lateral surface, and also a coil eye having an eye axis. The binding bands have a binding band width. Initially, while a first subregion of the lateral surface of the coil, as seen in the direction of the eye axis, is resting on a first rest, those binding bands which, as seen in the direction of the eye axis, surround the coil completely outside the first subregion are removed. Then, while a second subregion of the coil, as seen in the direction of the eye axis, is resting on the first rest or a second rest, those binding bands which were not removed are removed. The first and the second subregion, as seen in the direction of the eye axis, are spaced apart from one another at least by the binding band width.

    摘要: A package opener includes a body having a first half and a second half. One or more blade cartridges are sandwiched between the first half and the second half, the blade cartridges including one or more blades, and for each of the one or more blades, a blade shroud which protects against accidental injury from the blade. The blade shrouds are constructed of a resilient material allowing the blade tip to cut into a material while the sides of the blade remain covered. The blade shroud can include substantially identical guard portions disposed along opposing lateral sides of the blades.

    摘要: The invention relates to a filling and/or emptying apparatus (1) and to methods for filling and/or emptying flexible containers (5), particularly sacks, with in particular hazardous, loose substances, preferably in powder form, comprising a filling and/or emptying neck (2) with an open end portion and at least one deformable disposable fastening ring (9), wherein the disposable fastening ring (9) is designed in relation to the internal diameter of the filling and/or emptying neck (2) such that once a container edge (7) is folded over around the fastening ring, preferably from radially inside to the outside, it is possible to insert, particularly to insert manually, the disposable fastening ring (9) in an end portion of the filling and/or emptying neck (2) so that the disposable fastening ring (9) is arranged substantially concentrically with the filling and/or emptying neck (2), and a radially outer fold-over portion (8) of the container edge (7) is arranged and/or clamped between an inner surface of the filling and/or emptying neck (2) and a radially outer surface. Furthermore, the disposable fastening ring (9) is designed in relation to the internal diameter of the filling and/or emptying neck (2) such that it is possible to press, particularly to press by mechanical means, the disposable fastening ring (9) into a sealing portion (15) of the filling and/or emptying neck (2), which is arranged after the end portion in the axial direction (A) and preferably has a smaller internal diameter than the end portion, wherein the disposable fastening ring (9) undergoes, preferably elastic deformation in the radial direction, so that the insertion and/or pressing into the interior of the filling and/or emptying neck (2) leads to a radial deformation and a counterposed pressure force, preferably an elastic return force, which presses the outer fold-over portion (8) of the container edge (7) against the inner surface of the filling and/or emptying neck (2), thereby sealing the container (5) against the filling and/or emptying neck (2).
