Abstract:
A self-aligning interface (6300) is attached to a robotic carton unloader (6100) and provides an interface between an extendable conveyor (6200) and the robotic carton unloader (6100). The self-aligning interface (6300) can include a positional measurement device (6320, 6320b, 6320c) mounted on the robotic carton unloader (6100) and operatively engaged with the extendable conveyor (6200) to provide positional information about the location of the extendable nose conveyor (6220) relative to the positional measurement device (6320, 6320b, 6320c). A control unit (6180) is attached to the robotic carton unloader (6100) for full robotic control of robotic carton unloader (6100) and the unloading process. The control unit (6180) is connected to the positional measurement device (6320, 6320b, 6320c) and the extendable conveyor (6200). The control unit (6180) uses positional information to calculate and control extension and retraction movements of the extendable conveyor (6200) in unison with the forward and reverse movements of the robotic carton unloader (6100) to ensure unloaded cartons (12) exiting the moving truck unloader are received on the extendable conveyor (6200).

Abstract:
A system (100) for handling of luggage or parcel items at, e.g. airports, comprises at least one cart (102) with shelves, at least one item conveyor (106; 108), such as a sorting conveyor or a luggage reclaim conveyor, and at least one item accumulation unit (118;122) arranged in proximity to the conveyor. The item accumulation unit (118:122) is configured as a buffer for storing a plurality of the items on a plurality of accumulation shelves. An item transfer structure is configured to transfer the plurality of the items from the sorting conveyor (106) or from the shelves (202) of the at least one cart (102) into the item accumulation unit (118; 122). Operation of item accumulation unit (118;122) and/or the item transfer structure is controlled by a control system.
Abstract:
Ein Verladewagen (1) zum Aufnehmen, Weitertransportieren und Abwerfen von Schüttgut weist einen auf Schienenfahrwerken (2) abgestützten Wagenrahmen (3) und ein in einer Wagenlängsrichtung (4) verlaufendes Verteilförderband (5) zum Transport des Schüttgutes zu Abwurfeinrichtungen (6, 7, 8) auf. Das Verteilförderband (5) ist für eine wahlweise Beschickung der Abwurfeinrichtungen (6, 7, 8) in Wagenlängsrichtung (4) verschiebbar ausgebildet. Eine erste Abwurfeinrichtung (6) ist als oberhalb eines Gleises (9) angeordnete Schurre (10) ausgebildet. Eine zweite sowie eine dritte Abwurfeinrichtung (7, 8) sind als je ein um eine vertikale Achse (11) verschwenkbares Förderband (12) mit je einem im Bereich der Achsen (11) positionierten Aufnahmeende (13) ausgebildet.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (100) for loading/unloading stackable cargo units (101) such as boxes (101) from a cargo space, such as a sea container (102). Such a device (100) comprises a movable arm (104) with a head (110), comprising an array with downwardly directed gripping bodies (e.g. suction cups (211)). According to the invention there is a second grip section (220) with which the cargo units (101) can be gripped at the sides thereof. Hereby also cargo units (101) of a top row can be unloaded quickly. The invention also relates to a method for the loading/unloading of a cargo space.
Abstract:
An apparatus for loading and unloading a plurality of shipping containers into a carrier (200). The containers are arranged according to a predetermined pattern on a fixed staging unit (140) of the apparatus. A first conveyor (160) of the apparatus receives and transports the arranged containers from the fixed staging unit (140). The first conveyor (160) is movable horizontally. A second conveyor (180) of the apparatus receives the containers from the first conveyor and transports the containers into the carrier (200. The second conveyor (180) is movable horizontally and vertically. A control unit (300) of the apparatus controls transportation of the containers from the second conveyor (180) into the carrier (200) when the second conveyor is vertically moved to a predetermined position.
Abstract:
A system and method for automated trailer loading that utilizes an automatic case loader (10) for loading product (46) in a trailer (16) is disclosed. A mobile base (50) structure provides a support framework for a drive subassembly (52), conveyance subassembly (54), an industrial robot (56), a distance measurement sensor (170), and a control subassembly (62). Under the operation of the control subassembly (62), product (46) advances through a powered transportation path (88) and is stacked as product columns (48) which are presented to an industrial robot (56) which places the product columns (48) within the trailer (16). The control subassembly (62) coordinates the selective articulated movement of the industrial robot (56) and the activation of the drive subassembly (52), which provides for forward and reverse movement as well as traverse movement between so that product (46) may be loaded within multiple trailers (16) without interruption.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a telescopic conveyor, and more particularly, to a telescopic conveyor including a power supply means capable of stably supplying electric power to an end of a stretchable conveyor portion without using additional electric wires. Further, the present invention relates to a wirelessly controlled telescopic conveyor capable of adjusting the length with a remote control. The telescopic conveyor of the present invention includes a base conveyor portion, and an intermediate stretchable conveyor portion connected to the base conveyor portion and an outermost stretchable conveyor portion, which are introduced or withdrawn with respect to each other. Further, the telescopic conveyor of the present invention comprises a power supply means including a conductive rail installed on one surface of one adjacent conveyor portion and a conductive slider fixed to the other adjacent conveyor portion and installed to be contacted with and slid along the conductive rail, thereby allowing electric power to be supplied to the adjacent stretchable conveyor portion through the conductive rail; or a remote control and a stretch control means for communicating with the remote control and outputting a signal to control an operation of a conveyor driving means.
