20080206036 | Magnetic media processing tool with storage bays and multi-axis robot arms - A substrate processing apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a substrate load lock chamber. A plurality of storage bays may be used to store magnetic media substrates. A first set of one or more multi-axis robot arms may transfer one or more magnetic media substrates between the substrate load lock chamber and the plurality of storage bays. A substrate transfer chamber is vacuum coupled to the substrate load lock chamber. A plurality of process chamber modules are vacuum coupled to the substrate transfer chamber. A second set of one or more multi-axis robot arms may transfer magnetic media substrates between the storage bays and the plurality of process chamber modules under sub-atmospheric conditions. | 08-28-2008 |
20080304951 | SUPPORTING DEVICE, SUBSTRATE TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT AND A RELATED METHOD THEREOF - A supporting device includes a support body for supporting a substrate and an auxiliary wing for supporting the corner of the substrate, so that the substrate is substantially horizontally disposed on the supporting device. Also disclosed is a substrate transportation equipment including the supporting device and a movable protruding member. The substrate transportation equipment can prevent the movable protruding member from hitting the edge of the substrate when the movable protruding member moves. | 12-11-2008 |
20090110534 | Bag supply apparatus - A bag supply apparatus for supplying bags onto a conveyer for transporting a bag bundle stacked such that an upper level bag is shifted forward, including a bag lifting device, which is provided with a pair of bag support members disposed facing one another on the left and right sides near the rear edge of a belt conveyor, and a rotation mechanism, which imparts translational motion of rotation in symmetric in a vertical plane with respect to the conveyance direction of the belt conveyor. The bag supporting portions of the bag support members contact the bag bundle from below to lift up the rear edge portion of the bag bundle and then separated from the bag bundle outwardly. While the bag supporting portions thus lifting the bag bundle, a new bag is fed into the space between the conveyance surface of the belt conveyor and the bag bundle. | 04-30-2009 |
20090202332 | APPARATUS FOR TRANSFERRING AND MOVING ELEMENTS OF A WORKING MACHINE - An apparatus for transferring and moving elements that are removably associable with an operating machine comprises a moving arrangement suitable for receiving and supporting the elements, the moving arrangement being movable for transferring to and/or removing from the operating machine the elements; the operating machine comprises a supporting arrangement configured for receiving from and giving to the apparatus the elements, the supporting arrangement in turn comprising hooking elements suitable for abutting and locking abutting elements of the elements. | 08-13-2009 |
20090297321 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR HOLDING TOGETHER AN ELECTRICALLY NON-CONDUCTIVE STACK OF OBJECTS AND AN ELECTRODE UNIT THEREOF - The invention relates to a method for holding together an electrically non-conductive stack of objects, such as a stack of magazines or foil strips, comprising the steps of:

20090297322 | STACKING DEVICE - A device for stacking an endless, folded web of corrugated cardboard comprises at least one guide member for supporting the folded web of corrugated cardboard and at least one stop member for depositing stacks of a folded web of corrugated cardboard, with the at least one stop member being guided for displacement along the guide member. | 12-03-2009 |
20100183419 | Stabilized Device For Moving A Plurality Of Containers - A device for moving containers or other objects relative to a surface such as a pallet includes a frame and a pin matrix movably attached to the frame. The pin matrix includes an array of pins and is housed in a plate having apertures for receiving the pins. The device further includes a pair of tracks that movably support the pin matrix. A method for moving containers or other objects relative to a surface includes the steps of moving the pin matrix over the objects, lowering the pin matrix, securing the objects within the pin matrix, moving the pin matrix and the objects relative to the surface, and raising the pin matrix. | 07-22-2010 |
20100221094 | METHOD AND AUTOMATED MANIPULATOR SYSTEM FOR PALLETIZING PACKAGES DEPENDENT ON A GRIP POSITION OF THE PACKAGES - In a method for palletizing packages using an automated manipulator, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with programming instructions for implementing the method, a sequence of grip positions is designated for accepting packages with the automated manipulator, and a supply of provided packages is automatically checked with regard to the grip positions of the packages in the supply. The supplied packages are palletized according to a predetermined initial palletizing pattern as long as the packages are supplied in the grip positions in the sequence. The packages are palletized by the manipulator according to an alternate palletizing pattern, different from the initial palletizing pattern, in the event that a package is not supplied to the manipulator in a grip position in the sequence. | 09-02-2010 |
20120263568 | HIGH SPEED ROBOTIC PRODUCT COLLATION AND LOADING SYSTEM - A product collation and loading system collates products into a proper pack pattern and loading the product into a load station or container. The system includes a grouping robot for separating group counts and holding incoming product while the sweep arm begins its cycle. The grouping robot may be positioned upstream of the sweeping robot. The sweeping robot pushes groups of product from the loading station and may act as overhead containment where the product is decelerated. The sweeping robot may be positioned between the grouping robot and a dynamic backstop. The dynamic backstop may be used to position the leading product in the correct location for the sweeping robot and may also decelerate the product to reduce impact. The dynamic backstop may be positioned directly downstream of the sweeping robot. The system may also include a reject cylinder for lifting an arm of the dynamic backstop to allow improperly oriented/located product to pass. | 10-18-2012 |
20120301262 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FEEDING FASTENERS - Method for feeding fasteners to a fastening tool that can be moved by a programmable handling device and on which is mounted a magazine for accommodating at least one fastener. The method comprises: moving the magazine to a filling station, wherein the filling station has an always continuously open tube section with an outlet opening; orienting the magazine with respect to the outlet opening; opening an air seal of the magazine; and conveying at least one fastener to the tube section in such a manner that the fastener travels through the tube section and the outlet opening to reach the magazine. | 11-29-2012 |
