Controling or regulating clamping force of transport device clamp arms involves controling, regulating force according to data regarding strength of transported material encoded on items

摘要

The method involves providing at least one item (6a-6c) with characteristic data regarding the strength of the transported material in the clamping force direction using an encoder (9), detecting the data using a receiver (8) associated with the transport device (4) and controling or regulating the clamping force accordingly. The encoder is also provided with information about the weight of the transported material. Independent claims are also included for the following: a transport device.
