Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Method and apparatus for placing plate-like elements ( 10 ) within a processing machine ( 1 ): the machine including a feeder ( 20 ) for placing the elements ( 10 ) in a plurality of gripping members ( 31 ) of a conveyor ( 30 ) in successive stations ( 3, 4, 5 ). The feeder ( 20 ) has a fixing device ( 21 ) for elements. The feeder ( 20 ) is driven by a computation and control unit ( 40 ). The method includes successive steps during advancement of each plate-like element ( 10 ) of measuring the longitudinal and angular placement error of the plate-like element ( 10 ) relative to a theoretical position, by detecting its front or rear edge, controlling the feeder ( 20 ) according to the measured placement errors, activating the fixing device ( 21 ) to attach the plate-like element ( 10 ) to the feeder ( 20 ), then measuring the longitudinal, the transverse and angular placement error of the plate-like element ( 10 ) attached to the feeder ( 20 ), relative to a theoretical position, by detecting register marks ( 12 ) printed on the element ( 10 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for placing plate-like elements within a processing machine, wherein the machine comprises a feeder for placing the plate-like elements, and a plurality of grippers of a conveyor in which the elements are placed by the feeder, the conveyor conveying the elements in a paced flow to successive stations, the feeder having a gripper, the feeder being driven by a computation and control unit; the method comprising the successive steps of: advanci…
