Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process and an apparatus for stocking semifinished products for manufacturing tyres for vehicle wheels. A semifinished product (3) is supplied on a roller conveyor (4) along a supplying direction (X). Between the rollers (15) of the conveyor (4), at an unloading station (5), there are arranged arms (19) of a lift (18). When the semifinished product (3) reaches the unloading station (5), the arms (19) are rotated around an axis (Y) parallel to the supplying direction (X), in such a way as to lift the arms (19) and slide the semifinished product (3) by gravity on the arms (19) along an unloading direction (W) that is perpendicular to the supplying direction (X) and to first ends (19a) of these arms (19). The semifinished product (3) drops through gravity from the first ends (19a) onto a resting plane (6) of a supporting bench (7) positioned below the first ends (19a) and spaced apart therefrom.
Abstract:
An apparatus (10) for selecting and sorting a plurality of random length boards (200) to form at least one row of boards having a total length within a predetermined target length range includes a measurement section (40) operative to measure the length of each board and a sorting section (60) which includes a sorting device and system for sorting the boards An accumulating row section (80) accumulates and stores rows of boards selected from the plurality of boards (200) and a vacuum suction transport device (140) moves rows of boards from the accumulating rows (84) to a bundling section (100) which receives rows of boards and then bunches and aligns the rows of boards and bundles the rows of boards in a board row bundle (300)
Abstract:
An indexing conveyor 1 travels at (90) degrees to a wrapping output conveyor (2), which conveys elongate packs (3) of circular biscuits at high speed with their diameter-ends leading. The indexing conveyor 1 receives the packs (3) and conveys them in an orthogonal direction, with their long-dimensions leading. The indexing conveyor (1) has a regular series of V-section lugs (11), which receive and centre the packs (3) and can accommodate a range of diameters of circular packs (3) whilst maintaining a constant pitch. A pair of lifting bars (12) lifts a group (31) of packs (3) at a time during the dwell period of the index of the (10) conveyor (1). The packs (3) of each group (31) are moved together during the lift so that they are touching, to ensure that a robotic pick-and-place system can pick up the group (31) reliably.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of flow optimisation of a timber flow with mixed dimensions in a system for handling timber pieces, said system comprising a timber handling device (7) and, arranged in connection with the timber handling device (7), a first conveyor belt (5) which supplies the timber pieces (15) to the timber handling device (7) so that the timber pieces being supplied to the timber handling device are in contact with each other, a measuring system (11) and a control system. The method is characterised by the measurement of at least two timber pieces (27, 29, 31) entering the timber handling device (7) which are in contact with each other, and control, based on the results of measuring said at least two timber pieces (27, 29, 31), of at least one first control parameter in the control system of the timber handling device. The present invention also relates to a system (1) for handling timber pieces (15).
Abstract:
A method for storing cardboard tubes (2) in a storing unit according to the present invention comprising the following steps: providing a storage unit with an input section for the tubes (2), a storage section (AC) comprising a plurality of storing planes (13), an output section for the tubes (2), transfer means (3) for transferring the tubes (2) from the input section to the storage section, and discharge means for conveying the tubes (2) from the storing section to the output section; providing a plurality of cardboard tubes (2) in the input section (E) of said storage unit; transferring the tubes (2) from the input section of the storage unit to the storage section; storing a plurality of tubes (2) in said storage section (AC); transferring the tubes (2) from said storage section (AC ) to said output section. The step of transferring the tubes (2) from said input section to said storage section involves more tubes (2) simultaneously, whereby a plurality of tubes (2) are transferred from said input section simultaneously on a plurality of storing planes (13) of the storage section (AC).
Abstract:
The method for loading metal rods or bars (2) comprises prearranging a preloading structure (20) associated with a stock magazine (3) for feeding an apparatus for processing said metal rods or bars. Then the method comprises operating means (30) to transfer and position a specific number of rods in bundles on the above-mentioned preloading structure (20), in particular the bundles of rods required for the production cycle in progress. The bundles arranged on the preloading structure (20) are then loaded on the stock magazine (3) of the apparatus for processing the bars (2).
