Abstract

A depalletising system, including: a zone for positioning a stack of layers of loose containers; a head for removing an upper layer of said layers of the stack; the removal head being suitable for moving said upper layer by sliding; the removal head including at least one sidewall for pushing the upper layer; an unloading support movable with respect to the stack and that allows the upper layer moved by the removal head to be supported; sensor means that allow the reaching of a desired position of the support with respect to the upper layer to be detected.

Abstract

A method for depalletising a ream of cartons wrapped by a strap. The method may include collecting, by a robot gripping head, the ream of cartons placed on a pallet. Collecting the ream may include exerting a suction force on the ream by one or more suction mouths. The method may also include moving a first arm and a second arm to position the first arm and the second arm below the ream and retain the ream in a positioning zone obtained in the head.

Abstract

An apparatus for moving containers may include a stacking system for forming several overlapping layers of containers and a feeding line for feeding the containers to the stacking system. The stacking system may include a first pick-up head for picking up a group of the containers from the feeding line to form one of the layers. The first pick-up head may include one or more suction nozzles for sucking the group of containers and lateral compression sides which laterally retain the group of containers.

Abstract

Perimeter safety protection to prevent undesired or accidental accesses to at least one portion of a machine, said protection comprising: i) a barrier (11) comprising a first metal grid (110); said first metal grid (110) comprising a plurality of metal wires (120); ii) a support (2) supporting the first grid (110); iii) a clamp (3) for clamping the first grid (110) to the support (2) and that permits an electric bridge between the first grid (110) and the support (2); said clamp (3) comprising a body (30) made of electrically conductive material, which presses a portion of the first grid (110) against the support (2) and in turn comprising: - a first notched slit (31) that: crosses completely, in thickness, said body (30); starting from a perimeter edge (33) of said body (30) extends inwardly; grips at least one first wire (121), said first wire (121) being part of said wires (120) of the first grid (110); -an opening (34) that crosses in thickness said body (30); iv) means (4) for mechanically connecting the body (30) to said support (2) comprising a metal element (40) that crosses said opening (34) and engages in the support (2); v) earthing means (5) electrically in contact with said support (2).

Abstract

A method for packaging surgical gloves in a box (9) comprising the steps of: -positioning the gloves (10) in a housing (60) defined by a case (6); -preparing said box (9) which identifies an internal compartment (90) for housing the gloves (10); -introducing together the case (6) and the gloves (10) present in the case (6) into said compartment (90) through an opening (91) of the box (9); -extracting the case (6) from the box (9) through said opening (91) leaving the gloves (10) inside the box (9); -closing said opening (91) of the box (9).

Abstract

An apparatus (1) for removing a film (2) of a package (3) of objects having an elongated shape along a longitudinal axis comprises two pairs of rollers (7 and 12) suitable for pressing on the film (2) externally to hold the package (3) in place in a removal station (8); the two pairs of rollers are operatively connected to respective motor drives so as to apply a mechanical stretching to portions (13 and 14) of the film (2) in order to tear them, thus enabling the first pair (7) of rollers to remove the film (2) and free the objects from the package. Known film removal apparatus require a device for cutting the packaging film longitudinally, so that the speed of the apparatus is limited according to the length of the package and there is a risk of objects being damaged during cutting.
