Abstract:
Le système est conçu pour imprimer, et pour amener successivement dans des caisses avançant sur un convoyeur, des documents du genre bordereaux (11) en correspondance avec ces caisses et avec les produits devant être reçus par celles-ci. Ce système (6) comprend, à la sortie (12) d'une imprimante (5) délivrant les documents (11) sous la forme d'une ou plusieurs feuilles imprimées pour chaque caisse, des moyens d'avance et de stockage (13,14) avec une succession d'emplacements (19,20,21,22) de réception des feuilles, entre lesquels les documents (11) avancent pas à pas. Au dernier emplacement (22) sont prévus des moyens de transfert (27,28) des documents (11) vers les caisses. Les moyens d'avance et de stockage (13,14) définissent un trajet en "U" couché. Le système est destiné aux lignes de préparation de commandes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for lateral movement of sheets (2) during transport thereof to a stacking device (11) such that the sheets (2) or stacks of sheets occupy laterally displaced positions relative to each other in the stacking device (11). A high-speed printer (6) is provided for printing the sheets (2) or a continuous web which is then cut to sheets (2). A vacuum generating device has vacuum means (12, 13) with vacuum openings located within vacuum holes (20) in conveyor belts (14), and is provided to generate a vacuum in said vacuum openings and vacuum holes (20) so that said conveyor belts (14) can grip or engage and transport the sheets (2). A vacuum control device is provided to control the vacuum generating device to alternatingly either generate a vacuum in at least one vacuum opening in one of the vacuum means (12) or in at least one vacuum opening in the other vacuum means (13) such that one or more sheets (2) are engaged and transported of fed by one or the other conveyor belt (14) of said vacuum means (12, 13).
Abstract:
A bi-directional stacking conveyor (10) is mounted below the discharge from a main conveyor and lies substantially perpendicular to the main conveyor. An adjustable length backstop (30) and adjustable width guide fingers (34A, 34B) are carried by the stacking conveyor (10) to accommodate forms of different lengths and widths, the backstop (30) and side guides (34, 34B) holding the sheets snugly in the stack. In response to a signal from a controller, the guide fingers (34A, 34B) on a side of the stack in the direction of desired movement are displaced to an out-of-the-way position and a motor drives the stacking conveyor belt to displace the stack in a first direction. At the end of a job or completion of a count and responsive to a signal to move the stacked sheets in an opposite direction, the controller operates the stepper motor for the opposite fingers to displace those fingers out of the path of movement of the stacked sheets in the opposite direction so that the motor is reversed and the conveyor belts displace the stacked sheets in the opposite direction.
Abstract:
According to examples, an apparatus may include an input tray coupled to a media path and an output tray to receive media from the media path. The output tray may be automatically positioned to an open position based on the media being inputted into the input tray. A movable section may be movably coupled to the output tray. In some examples, the movable section may automatically move relative to the output tray based on the output tray being automatically positioned to the open position.
Abstract:
The purpose of the invention is to efficiently perform the work of changing stacked objects, which are stacked in one container with one pitch, to another pitch and storing same in the stacked form in another container. Multiple workpieces (51) are juxtaposed in a stacked form with a prescribed pitch and attachment pads (25) for attaching the workpieces are provided on base plates (3). The pitch between the base plates can be varied by rotating variable spacers (17), which work in concert with a drive shaft (31). An airtight communicating channel (28), which communicates with the attachment pads, is formed within a group of base plates. The communicating channel (28) is formed by the consecutive installation of an expandable elastic packing (15) between the through holes of adjacent base plates. The elastic packing and the variable spacers move in concert with the base plates. The base plates are provided with springs (9) for releasing the fixing of an inter-base plate pitch. Areas of differing thickness are formed on the circumferential surface of the variable spacers (17).
Abstract:
A strapping apparatus (100) is provided for strapping a stack (S) of sheet documents. The apparatus comprises: a strap feeder (160) adapted to feed a length of strap material (M) into the strapping apparatus; a guide channel (110) arranged to receive the leading edge of the strap material from the strap feeder, to guide the leading edge around a stack receipt zone (101) and to overlap the leading edge with an upstream portion of the strap material, resulting in overlapping portions of strap material in an overlap region of the guide channel, so as to form a closed loop of strap material around the stack receipt zone, the stack receipt zone being configured to accommodate a stack of sheet documents in use; a sealing unit (120) adapted to join the overlapping portions of the strap material to one another at a joining point; and a cutting unit (130) for cutting the strap material upstream of the joining point. The invention also provides a stacking apparatus (50) for forming stacks of sheet documents.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for stacking of sheets. A high-speed printer is provided for printing the sheets or at least one continuous web which is cut to sheets (2). The stacking device is provided to receive sheets in at least one flow (AS1 and/or AS2) thereof to said stacking device and to transfer said sheets (2) in the flow (AS1 and/or AS2) thereof to at least one first stacking table (11b) in order to form thereon at least one stack (2A and/or 2B) of sheets (2). At least one second stacking table (11c) is provided for displacement in between two sheets (2) in the flow (AS1 and/or AS2) thereof when sheets (2) therein are tansferred to the first stacking table (11b) such that the second stacking table (11c) divides or cuts the flow (AS1 or AS2) of sheets between said two sheets (2) and interrupts the formation of at least one stack (2A and/or 2B) of sheets (2) on the first stacking table (11b) and permits formation of at least one stack (2A and/or 2B) of sheets (2) on the second stacking table (11c) without interrupting or stopping the flow (AS1 and/or AS2) of sheets (2).
Abstract:
Apparatus for reducing peak tensions and tearing in perforated sheet (40) being drawn along a flow path from a stack (S) into a finishing machine (F) is comprised of a drag unit (22), for retarding motion of the sheet; an assist unit (20) for urging the sheet along the flow path; and, a dancer unit (24) for changing the length of the flow path. The assist unit comprises a pair of constant speed rollers (42, 44) supported by mounting blocks (40). The orientation of the assist unit is changed by rotating the mounting blocks. The roller (30) of the dancer unit is spring biased against the sheet.
