Abstract:
A block stacking arrangement having multiple container stacking slots and a loading space arranged below the container stacking slots in a direction of gravity, a pass-through opening being arranged between each container stacking slot and the loading space, via which a container can be moved out of the loading space into the container stacking slot or from the container stacking slot into the loading space and which has a holding device. Good flexibility of the block stacking arrangement is achieved at least because at least two pass-through openings have different sizes.
Abstract:
A control apparatus includes a first information acquiring section that acquires three-dimensional information of a first region of surfaces of a plurality of objects, the information being obtained by imaging or scanning the plurality of objects from a first location; a second information acquiring section that acquires three-dimensional information of a second region of surfaces of the plurality of objects, the information being obtained by imaging or scanning the plurality of objects from a second location; and a combining section that generates information indicating three-dimensional shapes of at least a portion of the surfaces of the plurality of objects, based on the three-dimensional information of the first region acquired by the first information acquiring section and the three-dimensional information of the second region acquired by the second information acquiring section.
Abstract:
A joining apparatus magazine temporarily stores a plurality of joining elements loaded from a loading station and feeds the joining elements to a joining head connected to an assembly line robot. The magazine comprises a housing connectable to the joining head; a drive motor; and a rotary body rotatable about an axis by the drive motor. The rotary body includes a plurality of chambers for temporarily storing joining elements. The magazine further comprises a loading arrangement operable for loading joining elements into the chambers; and an unloading arrangement operable for discharging a joining element from the chamber toward the joining head. The loading arrangement and the unloading arrangement are coupled together such that either a chamber can be loaded or a chamber can be unloaded.
Abstract:
Two load bearing dollies are securely attached respectively, via lashing straps, to opposite ends of any moveable object such as: household furniture items, appliances, or various manufacturing/industrial equipment. Each dolly frame may be carpeted on all contact surfaces to create friction, and each contains two 360 degree swivel casters fixedly secured to dollies to maneuver over various terrains. Each dolly has a platform that may be parallel to the ground or tilt to make contact with movable object at any varying degree of angle, thereby securing the object through points of contact on the platform frame, as well as securing it from above via the strapping.
