    摘要: A loading system includes one or more adjusting mechanisms configured to adjust a position of the container held by the container holder, a controller configured to control operation of the one or more adjusting mechanisms, a transfer mechanism configured to move a loadable object into a holding space of the container with the container held by the container holder to transfer the loadable object to the container, and one or more position detectors. The one or more position detectors are located to detect a relative position of a loadable object when the loadable object is held by the transfer mechanism and is in the holding space. The controller is configured to perform an adjusting control in which the position of the container is adjusted to place the container in a proper position with respect to the loadable object, the adjusting control being performed based on detected information from the one or more position detectors, and being performed during at least a portion of a process of transferring the loadable object by the transfer mechanism, and being completed before the loadable object becomes supported by the container.

    摘要: A connector assembly includes a base plate that defines a fill opening and an aperture. A fill tube is coupled to a first side of the base plate. The fill tube is aligned with the fill opening. A radial flange is coupled to a second side of the base plate. The radial flange extends around the fill opening. A toggle magnet is coupled to the first side of the base plate proximate to the aperture. The toggle magnet is operable between an activated state and a deactivated state.

    摘要: A purpose of the invention is to provide a powder supply device having a dust collection unit to collect powdery dust released when powder is supplied from a lateral side, and having a space-saving and simplified structure. A powder supply device according to the present invention has a main body, a plurality of stockers and a dust collection unit. The stocker has a charge port and a supplier. The dust collection unit has a casing, an exhauster and a filtering member. The casing has a ceiling portion and a lateral side portion, with a side opposing said ceiling portion being opened to form a lid-shaped configuration. The lateral side portion has a notched portion into which the supplier is to be inserted. The filtering member is provided inside the casing and is positioned above the notched portion and below the ceiling portion in order to collect the powder.

    摘要: The present application relates to a spherical object falling buffer device including a flow-limiting pipe assembly and a central column assembly; wherein the flow-limiting pipe assembly includes a flow-limiting pipe, a redirecting joint and a sphere outlet pipe; a diameter of the flow-limiting pipe is greater than that of the sphere outlet pipe, and an inner surface of the redirecting joint is a conical surface; the central column assembly includes at least a central column arranged in the flow-limiting pipe; a flow-guiding region is provided between the flow-limiting pipe and the central column, and a plurality of gravity flow guide grooves are provided on an outer peripheral surface of the central column. The spherical object falling buffer device may restrict, guide and buffer spherical objects during falling, and avoids collision damage of the spherical objects or the stock bin due to the excessive falling speed of the spherical objects.

    摘要: A magazine (200) is described for portion-wise receiving individualized bulk electronic components (298). The magazine (200) comprises (a) a receiving structure (110) which comprises multiple closable receiving cavities (112, 112a), which are arranged along a longitudinal axis (100a) of the receiving structure (110); (b) a cover structure (120) which is arranged at an upper side of the receiving structure (110), displaceable along the longitudinal axis (100a), so that in a closed position of the cover structure (120) all receiving cavities (112, 112a) are covered and in one opening position of multiple opening positions at least one receiving cavity (112) is free; and (c) a closure foil (225) which encompasses the cover structure (120) along the longitudinal axis (100a) in the form of a closed tape, wherein at least a part of the closure foil (225) is releasably connected to the receiving structure (110). Further, a device (430) is described for portion-wise transferring components (298) from one such magazine (200) into a reservoir (490) for a component supply device. Further, a method is described for portion-wise transferring components from one such magazine (200) into the one such reservoir (490).

    摘要: A hopper loader having a hopper connected to a vacuum source for applying a vacuum to the hopper to convey material into the hopper through a material inlet. A material separator is disposed between the material inlet and the vacuum source for filtering the material. A material discharge assembly is connected to the hopper and disposed for controlling downwardly gravity flow of the material from the hopper, the material discharge assembly having a material outlet configured to be opened and closed to control the discharge of material from the hopper. A vacuum detector is disposed between the material separator and the vacuum source. A vacuum activated control operatively connected to the vacuum detector and configured to turn off the vacuum source in response to a signal from the vacuum detector.
