    摘要: A loader-unloader system for loading and unloading work pieces, particularly work pieces having thin portions, in a machine tool wherein each work piece is held in position for rotation about a longitudinal axis during which various machine operations may be performed by the tool comprising a loading conveyor adapted to deliver articles in succession to a loading position, an unloading conveyor adapted to receive work pieces, and a loader-unloader assembly. The loader-unloader assembly comprises a track extending along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine, a trolley movable along the track and means for moving said trolley back and forth along the said track. A load-vacuum clamping head assembly is mounted on the trolley, and an unload-vacuum head assembly is mounted on the trolley. Each assembly includes a vacuum head for gripping a work piece, means on the trolley for mounting said vacuum head for swinging movement into and out of position adjacent the machine and for reciprocating movement toward and away from the axis of said machine, and means for swinging the vacuum head from a position wherein the work piece has its axis extending parallel to the axis of the machine to a position wherein the axis of the work piece is at an acute angle to the axis of the machine.

    摘要: Articles such as bricks are loaded on one end of a horizontal endless loading conveyer in predetermined groups governed by trays fixed on the endless member of the conveyer. When the groups of articles reach a discharge station along the conveyer, they are sequentially discharged transversely of the conveyer onto a horizontal temporary support plate by paddle plates moved by an endless conveyer transversely overlying the first conveyer such that the articles are pushed by the paddle plates onto the temporary support plate. The temporary support plate overlies a vertical elevator and is retractable from below the discharged articles resting thereon to deposit the same on preceding articles stacked on the elevator. The elevator is then lowered a predetermined amount to make space for the next group of articles to be discharged after which the temporary support plate is moved back to its position overlying the elevator to receive the next group of articles to be discharged. When the elevator reaches its lower-most position, having received a full stack of articles, a push-off mechanism including a vertical pusher plate pushes the stacked articles from the elevator to an adjacent shuttle car which then is moved adjacent a further handling station such as a strapping station where a second push-off mechanism is actuated to push the stacked articles from the shuttle car into a strapping mechanism. The shuttle car then returns adjacent the elevator which then may be raised to a level below the temporary support plate for starting the next stacking operation.

    摘要: Facilities for processing steel. One facility includes a line for producing packages; a plurality of stackable cassettes for receiving packages; a splitter subfacility; automated transfer apparatus; and an automated overhead crane. The line may be a slitting line with the packages being coils of steel, or a cut-to-length line with the packages being stacks of steel sheets. A premises of the facility comprises a loading area in which packages from the line are loaded into cassettes, a storage area in which cassettes are stored, and a transition zone including at least one transfer position. The automated transfer apparatus moves packages and/or cassettes between the transfer position and the splitter subfacility. The automated overhead crane moves cassettes between the storage area, the loading area, and the transition zone.

    摘要: An arrangement of coils of varying widths and diameters in a warehouse having an automated crane wherein: the coil axes are parallel; the coils are arranged in lines, the coil widths in each line falling within a first predetermined range associated with the line, the coil diameters in each line falling within a second predetermined range associated with the line and the coil axes in each line being orientated perpendicularly to said each line; the lines define (i) rows of coils; (ii) a bottom layer of coils; and (iii) one or more upper layers of coils; each upper layer coil is supported by a pair of lower layer coils in a line; the first and second predetermined ranges associated with the line in which said each coil is arranged are the same as those associated with the line in which the supporting coils are arranged.
