414591000 | GUIDED HOIST WITH LOAD-SUPPORTING GRAB MEANS MOVABLE HORIZONTALLY BY MEANS WHICH SWINGS HORIZONTALLY OR MOVES LINEARLY | 7 |
20090035114 | Transfer apparatus - A transfer apparatus includes a stationary base, a lift base, a lifting mechanism for vertically moving the lift base, a rotary base mounted to the lift base, a rotating mechanism for rotating the rotary base about a vertical rotation axis, a linear moving mechanism supported by the rotary base, and a work hand supported by the linear moving mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes a slide guide mechanism for vertical movement of the lift base, and first and second screw-feeding mechanisms. Each screw-feeding mechanism includes a rotatable vertical screw shaft, and a nut member provided on the lift base and screwed onto the screw shaft. The first and the second screw-feeding mechanisms are spaced from each other, with the rotation axis of the rotary base being located between the first and the second screw-feeding mechanisms. | 02-05-2009 |
20090041569 | Robot with removable fulcra - A robot is described for moving a certain item within a three-dimensional work area, from a picking position to a placing position. The robot comprises a first motion assembly, provided with a gripping element to pick the item and to move it within a two-dimensional work area, and a second motion assembly supporting said first motion assembly and adapted to impart thereto a lateral translation so as to define a three-dimensional work area. The first motion assembly comprises a lever system with movable fulcra operated by motorization means, through transmission means. | 02-12-2009 |
20100092272 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING PART LOADS - There is provided an apparatus for transferring packaged goods from a first position X to a second position Y. An exemplary apparatus comprises at least one gripping device comprising several gripping elements of which at least two can be actuated separately from each other. The exemplary apparatus further comprises a drive that is adapted to move the at least one gripping device in a vertical direction and in at least one horizontal direction. The exemplary apparatus also comprises a controller that is configured according to a fixed scheme, the controller being adapted to sequentially cancel a gripping effect of the gripping elements. The exemplary apparatus additionally comprises a guide element adapted to steer the packaged goods to the second position Y, the guide element comprising a baffle plate placed in a slanted position and having a bottom plate and two side walls that run towards each other in the form of a funnel. | 04-15-2010 |
20120034058 | ROBOTIC ARM - A robotic arm is for holding a molding item. The robotic arm includes a mount; a lifting mechanism mounted to the mount; a horizontal driving device; a rotating assembly mounted between the lifting mechanism and the horizontal driving device to rotate the horizontal driving device relative to the lifting mechanism; a holder for holding the molding item, the holder mounted on the horizontal driving device. The lifting mechanism cause the holder to move relative to the mount in a first direction, the horizontal driving device moves the holder relative to the mount and the lifting mechanism in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. | 02-09-2012 |
20130022437 | Agricultural Storage Container Manipulator - An automated, high volume container manipulator and process useful with an agricultural seed box. In an exemplary application, the manipulator removes an upper ring of a seed box, rotates the ring 180 degrees and places the ring over the lower seed box base in a nested condition. Container lid removal, transport and replacement devices and processes are also included. | 01-24-2013 |
20130136568 | HANDLING MECHANISM - A handling mechanism comprises a mounting seat, a driving assembly, a sliding member, an extending mechanism and a clamping assembly. The driving assembly is mounted on the mounting seat. The sliding member is slidably mounted on the mounting seat and driven by the driving assembly. The extending mechanism comprises an extending member and a strength member. The extending member is positioned on the sliding member being capable of moving along a direction perpendicular to a direction of the movement of the mounting seat. The strength member is slidably positioned on the sliding member and connects with the extending member. The clamping assembly is fixed to the strength member for clamping very heavy workpieces. | 05-30-2013 |
