Apparatus For Transporting Cylindrical Containers

摘要

The apparatus transports cylindrical containers between different operating stations. The containers are thereby transported successively between adjacent operating stations in a stepwise manner. The apparatus encompasses a main drive, which is equipped to move receiving units of the apparatus along a predetermined path between two operating stations. Each receiving unit encompasses a holding device for holding an assigned container. The holding device of the receiving unit encompasses a cylindrical clamping mandrel comprising a plurality of clamping segments.

主权项

1. An apparatus (10) for transporting and/or positioning cylindrical containers (11) between different operating stations (13),
comprising a main drive (30), which is equipped to move receiving units (38) for the containers (11) along a predetermined path (12) from an operating station (13) to an adjacent operating station (13), wherein each receiving unit (38) encompasses a holding device (45) for holding a container (11) and a guide body arrangement (65), comprising a guide device (67), which encompasses a guide surface (68), which extends along or parallel to the path (12), on which the guide body arrangements (65) of the receiving units (38) are supported, wherein the guide device (67) encompasses a guide segment (70), which can be driven about an axis of rotation (D) and on which a surface portion (68b) of the guide surface (68) is arranged, at least at one of the operating stations (13), which is embodied as rotary operating station (13b).
