Work transferring system and work transferring method
A work transferring system includes a hand including a body and at least one attracting part configured to hold a work with a gap maintained between the work and a surface of the body by attracting the work to a distal end protruding from the surface; a transfer mechanism configured to transfer the work to a predetermined transfer destination by moving the hand, a work releasing member disposed above the transfer destination to which the transfer mechanism transfers the work and configured to release the work from the attracting part, and a lifting mechanism configured to move up and down the work releasing member or the work. The work releasing member includes a claw arranged in a substantially horizontal cantilever manner and having a shape that allows insertion of the claw into the gap.
Handling Device, Removal Station, and Method for Handling Tubular or Elongate Bowl-shaped Workpieces
A handling device (1) for tubular or elongate bowl-shaped workpieces such as pipette tips (4) or cups, said workpieces preferably being transported or being able to be transported on a workpiece carrier (T) during the production of said workpieces until packaging, the workpiece carrier (T) having receiving places (5) for the workpieces, which receiving places are arranged in a grid relative to each other, preferably with the stipulation that faulty workpieces located on the workpiece carrier (T) can be detected, and preferably with the stipulation that a removal station (25) is provided, by means of which the faulty workpieces can be removed from the receiving places (5) of a workpiece carrier (T), receiving places (5) thus being freed up, freed-up receiving places (5) of the workpiece carrier (T) being able to be loaded with faultless workpieces by means of the handling device, the handling device comprising a refill magazine (2), which has magazine places (3) arranged next to each other, each magazine place having a holding element (7) that can be moved up and down and that is used to secure and to receive and release a faultless workpiece, with the additional stipulation that each magazine place (3) comprises a guide tube (6), in which the up and down movement of the holding element (7) occurs, the holding element (7) being able to be moved, together with a secured workpiece, into the guide tube (6), and that an acceleration apparatus (V) is provided, by means of which the workpiece can be accelerated out of the guide tube (6) and can be moved to a receiving place (5) of the workpiece carrier (T).
PEDESTAL OF MOLDING EXTRACTION MACHINE
Provided is a pedestal of a molding extraction machine which may be stably carried without a particular transportation member attached thereto. In the pedestal of the molding extraction machine sorting a molded product from an injection molding machine, at least one through-hole into which a carrying member for carrying the pedestal may be inserted is provided and the carrying member such as a forklift or a hanger rod is inserted into the through-hole so that the molding extraction machine may be carried. Accordingly, there is no need to particularly attach a transportation member and the molding extraction machine may be stably carried by the carrying member.
WORK TRANSFERRING SYSTEM AND WORK TRANSFERRING METHOD
A work transferring system includes: a hand including a body and at least one attracting part configured to hold a work with a gap maintained between the work and a surface of the body by attracting the work to a distal end protruding from the surface; a transfer mechanism configured to transfer the work to a predetermined transfer destination by moving the hand; a work releasing member disposed above the transfer destination to which the transfer mechanism transfers the work and configured to release the work from the attracting part; and an lifting mechanism configured to move up and down the work releasing member or the work. The work releasing member includes a claw arranged in a substantially horizontal cantilever manner and having a shape that allows insertion of the claw into the gap.
