Abstract:
A method for forming and spacing out successive batches (3) of articles (2) including the following phases: transferring articles (2) one by one along a feed belt (4) up to a feed station (5), at a substantially constant input speed (VE); grouping together and transferring a given number of articles (2) in the form of a batch (3) from the feed station (5) to an outlet station (7) using rotating transfer means (8) of the type including at least a first and a second coaxial rotating shaft (9, 10) suitable for being rotated independently from one another by motorised means (12, 13) with the speed determined by a control device, with the first and the second shafts being linked respectively to a first and a second rotating transfer system (15, 16) having a transfer speed (VT) that is not constant and is determined by the control device; driving the articles (2) in the form of successive batches (3) spaced out from one another along an outlet belt (6) from the outlet station (7), at an outlet speed (VS) higher than the input speed (VE). The invention also relates to a device allowing such a method to be implemented.
Abstract:
Provided is a conveyance device capable of reducing the speed of conveyed objects, with the interval therebetween being narrowed substantially, while arranging the conveyed objects, which have been carried in one row, in a plurality of rows, and capable of simplifying its structure or operation, and moreover capable of improving accuracy in the interval between the conveyed objects while preventing the deformation of the conveyed objects during transfer. The present invention includes a conveyance turret (110) that holds and conveys conveyed objects (K) and a carrying-out turret (120) that holds the conveyed objects (K) and transfers the same to a carrying-out conveyor (130), wherein the carrying-out conveyor (130) is configured to hold the conveyed objects (K) in a plurality of rows and carry out the same, the carrying-out turret (120) is provided in plurality so as to correspond to the plurality of rows of the carrying-out conveyor (130), and the conveyance turret (110) and the carrying-out turret (120) have an interval adjustment mechanism that changes radial positions of the held conveyed objects (K) according to rotation angles thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a transfer apparatus (3,5) for transfer to and/or from a processing machine (4), in particular an internal lacquering machine, for processing cylindrical containers with or without a closed bottom, in particular made of aluminium or steel, wherein the processing machine (4) comprises a holding dial (7) provided with holding elements (8) for holding the cylindrical containers, to a processing system (1) including such transfer apparatus (3,5)and to a corresponding transfer method and it is an object of the present invention to provide such transfer apparatus (3,5), which allows for transferring cylindrical containers with or without a closed bottom to a processing machine (4) the holding elements (8) of which having radially and tangentially fixed positions relative to the holding dial (7) and being equally distributed with a first mutual pacing on a circle with a reduced need for maintenance and/or cleaning.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an installation for grouping containers (1) which have a circular or ovoid cross-section and are in the form of packs (17) in staggered columns prior to their covering, comprising means for arranging said containers (1) in the form of staggered columns, characterized in that said installation comprises means (18) for pushing at least one of said containers (1) that are arranged in a staggered manner so as to create, by rearrangement, an additional column (21) in the pack (17).

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Flächensauggreifer (10) mit einer mit Unterdruck beaufschlagbaren Vakuumkammer (12) und mit einem Schaumstoffbelag (18), zur Anlage an handzuhabende Gegenstände, wobei der Schaumstoffbelag (18) eine den handzuhabenden Gegenständen zugewandte Decklagenschicht (22) mit Ansauglöchern (26) und eine der Vakuumkammer (12) zugewandte, dicker als die Decklagenschicht (22) ausgebildete Grundschicht (20) mit Durchgangslöchern (24) zur Verbindung der Ansauglöcher (26) mit der Vakuumkammer (12) aufweist, wobei der Querschnitt (t 1 ) der Durchgangslöcher (24) größer ist als der Querschnitt (t 2 ) der Ansauglöcher (26).
Abstract:
An endless conveyor belt (1) comprises a number of links (2) which are each coupled to an adjacent link (3) by means of a hinge. Added to each link is a carrier (8, 9) which has a discrete, flat first carrying surface (18) which consists of the outer surfaces (16) of a number of mutually coupled plates (14, 15) extending with second mutual intermediate spaces in longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt, wherein corresponding plates (14, 15) of adjacent links (43) lie in the saure plane. In the second intermediate space there fits a row, extending in transverse direction, of fixedly disposed fingers (16) which extend in longitudinal direction and form a discrete, flat second carrying surface (17) which, at the position of co-action with the first carrying surface (18), lies in the saure plane as this first carrying surface, which fingers are disposed at the end of the active part (19) of the conveyor belt and can take over for further transport.
