Method and device for stacking and unstacking panel-shaped objects

摘要

When handling panel-shaped objects, such as glass panes, a gripping device (4) is used in order to remove the objects from stacks (1, 2), in which the objects are inclined towards the vertical, or to position the objects onto stacks (1, 2), wherein the gripping device allows at least two stacks (1, 2) of objects to be formed on bearing blocks, the stacks (1, 2) differing from each other. The gripping device (4) has at least two grippers which are independent of each other. Suction heads (7) are provided as the grippers of the gripping device (4), the suction heads being pivotal independently of each other into and out of the suction head working position associated with the objects. In the process, gripping device (4) suction heads (7) pivoted out of their operating position are arranged above the stacks (1, 2).

主权项

1. A device for stacking and de-stacking of panel-shaped items, or glass panels, comprising:
at least two different stacks, side-by-side on a bearing platform, in which the items or panels stand inclined to vertical, are stacked by placement of the panel-shaped items or panels, and are de-stacked by the removal of the panel-shaped items or panels, using a gripping device for purposes of capturing the items, wherein the gripping device comprises at least two sections side-by-side, each section having at least one gripper, or each section having at least two grippers, the grippers are configured to be moved by swiveling movements or linear movements, or raising/lowering linear movements, that are independent of one another, into and out of their operative positions associated with items, and the grippers when moved out of their operating positions are arranged above stacks.
