Rapid supply and positioning device with improved rectangular kinematics

摘要

The rectangular pilgrim-step cycle for supplying and positioning products 1 is improved by varying the speeds to limit the shocks exerted on the product. The vertical movements P1-P2; P3-P4 of the movable pilgrim-step support 11 have an intermediate slowing-down stage corresponding to the bringing alongside or the deposition of the product in order to limit the shocks. The invention can be applied to automatic devices for assembly at a very high rate. <IMAGE>
