| 414226020 | Gripper includes pivoted jaw | 6 |
| 20080310942 | Material handling system - A material handling system for engaging and transporting material. The material handling system includes a mouth and a hydraulic actuator for pivoting a tooth within the mouth. Once a material has been positioned within the mouth, the hydraulic piston actuates the tooth to secure the material within the mouth. The tooth is preferably configured and oriented to move into tighter engagement with the material as gravity or other forces attempt to remove the material from the mouth. The hydraulic piston allows an operator to release the tooth whenever desired. The material handling system includes a vehicle mounted boom coupled to the mouth so that material engaged by the mouth may be transported to another desired location. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20100150688 | WORKPIECE TRANSFER SYSTEM - A workpiece transfer system may include a plurality of cassettes for storing workpieces, at least one workpiece processing apparatus, and a multi-joint industrial robot for loading and unloading workpieces to/from the cassettes. The multi-joint industrial robot may include a hand part for holding a workpiece, an arm part supporting the hand part so as to make the hand part rotatable, and a link mechanism that supports an arm joint part, positioned at a base side of the arm part, so as to make the arm joint part rotatable. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110150611 | CLAMP SUITABLE FOR GRIPPING A BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE HOLDER, ASSEMBLY CONSISTING OF A BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE HOLDER AND A SUITABLE CLAMP, AND TREATMENT AND/OR ANALYSIS MACHINE - A machine for treatment and/or analysis of biological samples, including a hinged arm to which a clamp for gripping a first biological sample holder is fixed. The clamp including first and second arms able to move relative to each other along a gripping position between a first position of gripping the first biological sample holder, and a first position of releasing the biological sample holder. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20120034053 | HANDLING MASCHINE FOR RAILS AND HANDLING PROCESS ASSOCIATED THERETO - A handling machine for rails, arranged in line and immediately downstream of a rolling plant, which allows both to easily handle the rail for transferring it from the roller table to the thermal treatment zone, and to ensure an optimal gripping of the rail along its longitudinal extension, thus effectively contrasting its bending and variations while allowing a longitudinal movement of the rail caused by thermal shrinkage, thus avoiding damages both to the external surface of the rail and to the handlers. A rail handling process is also described, which optimizes moving, positioning along a roller table and maintaining the rail substantially rectilinear during the thermal treatment to which it is subjected. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20140037402 | TRAY SEALER - The invention relates to a tray sealer comprising a gripper system configured to tilt trays by means of a tray gripper so as to lift the trays off a collecting belt for conveying them into a sealing station. | 02-06-2014 |
| 20140112744 | Device for Handling Workpieces, in Particular Processing Products of a Cutting Metal Sheet Processing Operation, and Mechanical Arrangements having such a Device - Devices and methods for handling workpieces, in particular workpieces in the form of processing products of a metal sheet processing operation, are described. The devices include one or more retention members that are movably supported by a retention member bearing and a transverse guide device. If the transverse guide device is moved relative to the retention member along a lifting axis out of a non-operative lifting position into an operative lifting position or out of an operative lifting position into a non-operative lifting position on a fixed retention member bearing, the retention member is thereby moved from a non-operative position into an operative position or out of an operative position into a non-operative position. In the operative position, the retention member can engage behind an edge of a workpiece, but cannot do so in the non-operative position. By means of a drive motor, the retention member moved into the operative position can be moved with a lifting movement along the lifting axis together with the retention member bearing and the transverse guide device which is moved into the operative lifting position. | 04-24-2014 |
