Device for handling flat glazing - has jack operated suckers gripping glazing sheets, powered by compressed gas and vacuum sources

摘要

A box is moved by mobile handling equipment (2) and it has a fixed flange (3) and a mobile plate (4) that carries suction pads. The box defines a location that houses a flexible jack (10), which is directly connected to a compressed gas supply (11) and a vacuum source (12). - The jack pushes or pulls an annular sealing joint sucker (5). The jack comprises a rubber or elastic material envelope and its end faces (14,15) are membranes which bulge reversibly under the action of an increase in pressure.
