A suction gripper is to transfer tubular bags
in an organised way to a recooling unit – thus
the task description. This system, which was
developed within the context of a mechanical
engineering final paper, is to be used in the
food industry among other areas. At the moment,
a pull-back belt is used for this purpose. This results in some of the hot and low-viscous
bags lying on top of one another, impairing effective
use of the cooler. A system has now
been installed in the outlet which transfers
the rows of tubular bags to the discharge belt
without changing their position or spacing. This application uses numerous products from
igus® such as e-chain systems® or drylin® Whousing
bearings.
