Provided is a laser machine which achieves an enhanced durability against laser beam irradiation. A workpiece transfer device for carrying a workpiece into and out of a workpiece machining chamber, has a turntable device and a partition wall. The partition wall is secured to the top surface of the turntable device, partitioning the top surface of the turntable device into a plurality of workpiece mounting tables on which workpieces can be mounted. The partition wall has: a first plate forming one surface of the partition wall and formed of aluminum alloy; a second plate forming the other surface of the partition wall and formed of aluminum alloy; and a frame for securing the first plate and the second plate in a spaced apart relationship.

The present disclosure shows an apparatus for the automated removal of workpieces arranged in a bin, said apparatus having a first object recognition device for detecting the workpieces in the bin; a first picker for picking and removing the workpieces from the bin; a controller for evaluating the data of the first object recognition device, for path planning and for controlling the first picker; and a transport device on which the workpieces removed from the bin are placed. Provision is made that a robot arm that is used for placing the workpieces on the transport device is arranged on a pedestal above the transport device.

The invention relates to a dispenser for transferring layers of goods from a pallet onto a receiving surface and then down a discharge conveyor. The dispenser incorporates a vertically movable platform capable of bringing a first tier of goods in alignment with a rotary table. Sweeper arm moves the goods on to the table as it rotates. Goods accumulate on the rotary table and then become guided down a discharge conveyor for further processing.

A container conveyor system includes a first endless conveyor and a second endless conveyor. The first endless conveyor is provided with a plurality of neck grippers that holds the neck of a capped container and conveys the container held by the neck gripper by moving the neck gripper. The second endless conveyor is provided with a plurality of vertical grippers that comprises an upper grip member, which is liftable and abuts against the top of the cap of the container, and a support plate that supports the base of the container. The second endless conveyor conveys the container held by the upper grip member and the support plate by moving the vertical gripper. The container conveyor system conveys the container by transferring the container between the neck gripper and the vertical gripper.
