Abstract:
A non-contact sheet handling system (100) includes a first valve (110) controlling air flow to a manifold (104) and a second valve (112) controlling air flow from the manifold to an air pan (106). A non-contact plate (107) having venturis (202) covers the air pan. In an alternate embodiment, the system includes a diffuser (302a) that diffuses air flow in the air pan. A method of using a non-contact sheet handling system includes adjusting a first and second valve (112, 114) to set air flow to a first and second area, respectively, of the system and adjusting a third valve (110) to set air flow to the first and second valves.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of stacking individual sheets and a stacking machine for handling individual sheets, the stacking machine comprising a frame assembly (13) including support columns (711, 811) for supporting the delivery station (70), the transfer station (80) and the elevation station (82). The delivery station has a delivery table and the transfer station including a handling arm (85) is movable from a first position above the delivery table to a second position above the elevation station. The handling arm includes a holding member (86) for contacting the sheets individually and transferring the sheets individually from the delivery table to the elevation station and releasing the sheets individually at the elevation station. The elevation station has a platform for collecting the individual sheets and the platform is moved vertically from a first level to a second level for allowing the sheets to be stacked on top of the one another.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Stapeln von flächigen Materialbogen (02) in einer Stapelvorrichtung (01), insbesondere in einer von einer Druck- und/oder Lackiermaschine (11) umfassten Stapelvorrichtung (01), mit mindestens einer einen Stapelraum aufweisenden Stapelauslage (03.1; 03.2), wobei Materialbogen (02) über den Stapelraum der von der Stapelvorrichtung (01) umfassten Stapelauslage (03.1; 03.2) gefördert und auf einem Ladungshilfsmittel (04) in einem Stapel (06; 06'; 06'') aufeinander abgelegt werden, wobei für zwei verschiedene Produktionen die Stapel (06; 06'; 06'') mit den vier Ecken ihrer Grundfläche in voneinander verschiedener Relativlage zum jeweils im Stapelraum der Stapelauslage (03.1; 03.2) angeordneten und gegenüber der jeweils abzulegenden Materialbogen (02) größerformatigen Ladungshilfsmittel (04) auf demselben gebildet werden, indem für die beiden Produktionen jeweils ein Ladungshilfsmittel (04) eines selben Formates an in Projektion in die Horizontale betrachtetunterschiedlichen Stellen im Stapelraum der Stapelauslage (03.1; 03.2) positioniert wird.
Abstract:
A method for stacking flat articles, such as sheets and/or panels, in a receiving station located downstream of the outlet of an operating station of a machine (M), comprising; detecting an inlet of an article (F) into the receiving station coming from said outlet in an advancement direction (W1); measuring the longitudinal advancement of a leading edge of the article (F) involving the receiving station; following measuring of a predetermined first portion (d1) of the advancement of the article (F), activating first means for engaging and supporting the article (F); longitudinally moving the first means for engaging and supporting, in phase relation with activation thereof, in a direction concordant to the direction of the first advancement direction (W1) and a velocity equal to the advancement velocity of the article (F); following measuring of a predetermined second portion (d2) of the advancement of the article that is greater than the first portion, activating at least second means for engaging and supporting the article in cooperation with the first means; longitudinally moving the first means for engaging and supporting, in phase relation with activation thereof, in a direction concordant to the direction of the advancement direction (W1) and a velocity equal to the advancement velocity of the article (F); centring the article with respect to an underlying loading plane (P) or head article of a stack of articles under formation thereon; deactivating the first and second means with a consequent release of the article onto the loading plane, or onto the head article of the stack.
Abstract:
Um die von einer Rollenmesserschneideinrichtung (2) aus einer Blechtafel geschnittenen Blechstreifen (21-24) kurzzeitig zu halten, wird eine an der Oberseite der Blechstreifen magnetisch und/oder pneumatisch angreifende Haltevorrichtung verwendet. Dies erfolgt bevorzugt bei einer Winkelschere. Es ergibt sich ein wesentlich geringerer Justieraufwand und mechanischer Aufwand als bei den bisher verwendeten Drehstäben.
Abstract:
A stacker for stacking labels (6) die-cut from a continuous web by a die cutter (3) into vertical stacks (35). The stacker is of the kind that comprises at least one stacking chute (10) having an upper opening (24) and a number of mainly vertically arranged walls (36, 37, 38, 39), at least one overlying belt conveyor (11) having a conveyor belt (12) designed with a number of suction holes distributed along the belt and having a lower run (13) with a direction of conveyance running from the die cutter (3) to the stacking chute (10), and a suction box (19) located above the lower run (13) and connected to a vacuum source communicating with the suction holes of the lower run (13) via the suction box in an area around the die cutter 83) but not in an area around the stacking chute (10). A channel (44) for receiving the lower run (13) of the conveyor belt (12) or a lower part of this run is designed in at least a front wall (38) of the walls of the stacking chute (10), seen in the direction of conveyance, said channel is extending this direction. The stacker has a simple structure and is able to stack products at the same rate as a rotary die cutter can die-cut the products. Thereby, it is possible to utilise the capacity of the rotary die cutter completely.
