The method comprises providing a V-shaped conveying mechanism (10) and positioning a plurality of the products (12) on the V-shaped conveying mechanism (10) such that a first portion of the plurality of the products engages a first side (16) of the V- shaped conveying mechanism, and such that a second portion of the plurality of the products engages a second side (18) of the V-shaped conveying mechanism (10).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung in fördertechnischen Einrichtungen zum Umsetzen von zu Bunden (3a, c) gewickelten Metallbändern, insbesondere hergestellt aus hochfesten Stahlsorten, wobei die Bunde (3a, c) zum Transport von der fördertechnischen Einrichtung (4) aus einer ruhenden Position mit Auflage auf einem Bundsattel (105) angehoben werden. Ein für Bunde mit verschiedenen, beliebigen Durchmessern universell einzusetzender und einem Aufspringen der Wickellagen entgegenwirkender Bundsattel (105) ist mit einer dem Bund (3a, c) zugewandten, in seiner Breite von endseitigen Auflagerzinken (7a, b) begrenzten Vertiefung (8) gabelartig ausgebildet, wobei auf demselben Bundsattel (105) unabhängig von den Durchmessern (D1, D3) der Bunde ein Bund (3a, c) jeweils eine in Radialrichtung des Bundes größtmögliche Stützbasis (106a, b, c) auf den beiden voneinander entfernten Auflagerzinken (7a, b) findet.
Abstract:
Transportation method and sorting deck for paper, board, or pulp rolls of different widths, which comprises a plane (1) for transporting the rolls and controllable stops (2) for holding the rolls in place on the plane (1) and releasing them to travel over the plane (1). The stops (2) can be independently move between the hold and release positions, in such a way that rolls of different width can be transported over the plane of the sorting deck, along freely selected routes in the longitudinal direction of the plane (1).
Abstract:
There is disclosed a loading system that inserts skates (810) from a dock (800) into a trailer (100). Air sacs (1201, 1203, 120, 1206) underneath the skates are then inflated to lift a paper reel (501) off chocks (110, 120, 130). The skates are then retracted from the trailer back to the dock, thus removing the reel from the trailer and placing the reel over a conveyer (801) that forms part of the dock. The air sacs are then deflated and the weight of the reel is transferred to the conveyor. The reel is then conveyed to a printing press. In an embodiment, two adjacent reels are withdrawn from the trailer onto two adjacent conveyors. The adjacent conveyors displaced (1600, 1601) relative to the skates in order to separate the reels as they are transferred to the conveyors.
Abstract:
An accumulator has a control system for controlling motion of a plurality of buckets on a continuous loop and logs traversing on a log transfer device. The log transfer device delivers a log from an entrance of the log transfer device to a bucket infeed on the accumulator. The bucket infeed receives a log from the log transfer device and allows a bucket to receive the log from the log transfer device. A time for the log to move from the entrance of the log transfer device to the bucket infeed is determined. Based on the time for the log to move from the entrance of the log transfer device to the bucket infeed, the control system controls the accumulator drive to move the continuous loop such that a bucket in the plurality of buckets is positioned at the bucket infeed with sufficient time to allow the bucket to receive the log from the log transfer device.
Abstract:
An apparatus for the treatment of articles such as rolls made of paper material, and/or packets, packs, envelopes, bags, pallets or boxes, or another type of packaging. The apparatus includes a feeding device for feeding the articles, at least one unit for treating the articles, a transferring device for transferring the articles from the feeding device to the treatment unit, and an arranging device able to arrange the articles in respective groups of articles, each group including one or more articles arranged according to a respective and desired configuration of utilization by the treatment unit. In the apparatus, the arranging device is defined by the transferring device.
Abstract:
Intelligent storage trays each hold SMT (Surface Mount Technology) reels of varying width without the need for separating dividers between the reels. An arrangement of light pipes within the tray pivot so that either one or multiple light pipes are pushed back to a closed position when an SMT reel is placed in the tray. Sensors detect movement of the light pipes allowing software to automatically assign a single SMT reel storage location to all of the light pipes that were moved by the SMT reel placement. Beacons on the tray indicate actions needed to take place and compression contacts on the tray communicate with the storage system software when the tray is placed and removed from a holder, such as a cart. Spring pins lock the tray into place within the holder allowing for ease of placement and removal.
Abstract:
A system for packaging groups of paper rolls, including a cutting-off machine that cuts paper logs, each group including rolls obtained from a same log. The system includes: a first unit for arranging the individual rolls spaced apart from each other; a second unit forming the groups by grouping a predetermined number of rolls, the second unit being provided with blades adapted to push from the back the last roll of each group to be formed and each formed group as the individual groups are formed by exerting a pushing action on the rear base of said last roll while the front base and a lateral surface of each roll are free; a third unit located downstream of the second unit and adapted to convey the groups towards a packaging machine.
Abstract:
A transportation system with a roll of material having an unsecured material portion is disclosed. The transportation system includes a first roller and a second roller spaced apart from the first roller. The spacing between the first roller and the second roller define a cradle. The cradle is operable to receive the roll of material, the roll of material having the unsecured material portion. At least one of the first roller and the second roller is rotatable about its axis to facilitate a securing of the unsecured material portion of the roll of material.
