Embodiment Construction

[0064] figure 1 A partial view of the device 1 according to the invention is schematically shown in the context of the production of the product to be manipulated or the rod-shaped objects formed therefrom, here specifically for the production of plastic cups for the milk processing industry. With the shown configuration of the device, two cups of different diameters can be handled without configuration. The device 1 according to the invention has for this purpose a plastic cup manufacturing device 2 in the form of an automatic deep-drawing machine. Within the framework of the manufacturing device 2 there are two handling devices 3.1, 3.2 in the form of a multi-axis industrial robot, preferably in the form of a four- to six-axis industrial robot, which are each equipped with a gripping device 4.1, 4.2. In the working areas A1 , A2 of the handling devices 3.1 , 3.2 there are tool stations 5.1 , 5.2 on which their respective gripping devices 4.1 , 4.2 can be exchanged for adapt...

Abstract

The invention relates to a completely automatable method for handling essentially rod-shaped objects, particularly rods comprised of articles stacked inside one another in a manner that enables them to be separated, such as plastic cups for use, e.g. in the dairy industry, during loading processes in conjunction with a loading aid, particularly a box. To this end, the objects to be handled are prepared by a manufacturing or processing machine in a first geometric arrangement. The invention is characterized in that at least a portion of the objects are firstly grasped, an arrangement of the objects relative to one another is subsequently modified, and the modified arrangement of the objects is then placed in the loading aid during which the objects are arranged in an upright manner. This permits optimal packing densities for the objects in the loading aid. The invention also relates to a device suited for carrying out said method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for handling substantially stick-shaped objects during packaging in combination with packaging aids, especially cartons, in particular sticks consisting of individual nested articles such as plastic cups, wherein the to-be-handled An object of is provided by a manufacturing or processing machine in a first geometrical configuration. The invention furthermore relates to a device for providing a substantially rod-shaped object in a first geometrical arrangement of a corresponding manufacturing or processing machine during packaging in combination with a packaging aid, in particular a carton, in particular by a single A rod consisting of items nested within each other, such as plastic cups, is then manipulated. Background technique [0002] In the milk processing industry, cups made of deep-drawn plastic films are often used to hold yoghurt, milk drinks or similar foods. The above-mentioned cups are generally designed i...
