Methods for transferring discrete articles |
| 摘要 |
The present disclosure provides a method of transferring discrete articles from a transfer assembly to an apparatus comprising a head. The transfer assembly comprises a frame defining a first rotation axis and a transfer member. The method comprises rotating the transfer member about the first rotation axis and maintaining a transfer surface of the transfer member at a substantially constant minimum distance away from a surface of the head at a point of discrete article transfer. The transfer surface is moved at a first substantially constant tangential velocity at the point of discrete article transfer. The method further comprises rotating the head of the apparatus about a second rotation axis. The surface of the head is moved at a second substantially constant tangential velocity at the point of discrete article transfer. The second tangential velocity of the head is greater than the first tangential velocity of the transfer surface. |

1. A method of transferring discrete articles from a transfer assembly to an apparatus comprising a head, wherein the transfer assembly comprises a frame defining a first rotation axis and a transfer member comprising a transfer surface configured to receive one of the discrete articles, the method comprising:
rotating the transfer member of the transfer assembly about the first rotation axis; maintaining the transfer surface at a substantially constant minimum distance away from a surface of the head at a point of discrete article transfer, wherein the transfer surface is moved at a first substantially constant tangential velocity at the point of discrete article transfer; and rotating the head of the apparatus about a second rotation axis, wherein the surface of the head is moved at a second substantially constant tangential velocity at the point of discrete article transfer, and wherein the second substantially constant tangential velocity of the head is greater than the first substantially constant tangential velocity of the transfer surface to tension the discrete articles being transferred at the point of discrete article transfer. |
