Publication number: 20220388181Abstract: The invention relates to an system for picking-up elements, comprising an automated arm (5) provided with at least one tool at one of its ends for picking up said elements (3), and a work surface (4) on which said elements (3) are placed, wherein said tool comprises at least one pick (1). Furthermore, the pick-up system also comprises a fixing-ejecting element (2), which removes from the at least one pick (1) an element (3) that has been picked up. The invention provides a system for picking-up elements which facilitates picking up, i.e., gripping, securing, conveying, and leaving, the elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2020Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Antoni BALSELLS MERCADE, Antoni GUIMERÀ PEDROLA, Josep Mª CARRER VIVES, Bernat BALSELLS VIVES

Publication number: 20220297313Abstract: The adapter interchange system for robotised systems comprising a robotic arm (1) provided with a tool (2) at one of the ends thereof, with said tool (2) comprising at least one actuator (3) joined to the end of said robotic arm (1) and at least one adapter (4) detachably joined to said at least one actuator (3). It allows an adapter interchange system to be provided which allows the adapter of the actuator of the tool to be changed, instead of changing the entire tool, to provide a less complex and more economical solution.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2020Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Antoni BALSELLS MERCADE, Josep Mª CARRER VIVES, Bernat BALSELLS VIVES, Antoni GUIMERÀ PEDROLA

Publication number: 20220258330Abstract: The system for handling elements comprises a robotic arm (1) provided with at least one tool (2) on one of the ends thereof, wherein the system for handling also comprises a support plate (10) from which a plurality of bristles (20) emerge, the ends of the bristles (20) further from the support plate (10) defining a support surface intended to receive said elements. It provides a system for handling elements which facilitates the handling thereof, meaning, the grabbing, securing, transportation, and releasing thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2020Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Antoni BALSELLS MERCADE, Josep Mª CARRER VIVES, Bernat BALSELLS VIVES, Antoni GUIMERÀ PEDROLA

Patent number: 10183412Abstract: The cutting device includes a blade (1), in which either the blade (1) can move relative to a sheet of flexible material (4) or the sheet of flexible material (4) can move relative to said blade (1), and the blade (1) is associated with a plurality of independent flexible bristles (2), which press and stabilize the flexible material vertically and/or horizontally against a base (5) where the flexible material to be cut is supported. The device can be used to apply constant and well-distributed pressure on the flexible material in the cutting zone, preventing the material from wrinkling and securing the same in an optimal manner relative to the blade, thereby facilitating the cutting.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2014Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: TKT BRAINPOWER ENGINEERING, S.L.Inventors: Antoni Balsells Mercadé, Antoni Guimerà Pedrola

Patent number: 9796553Abstract: The present invention relates to a holding system for holding sheet material for plotters characterized in that it comprises at least one substantially tubular side holding element (1), at least part of the external surface (2) thereof being tapered. Furthermore, said side holding element (1) comprises a longitudinal opening (7) and has internal chamfers at one of its ends (4). As a result of the thickness and the tapering of the external surface thereof, the side holding element hold the sheet material and, simultaneously, ensures that there is a gap between the winder tube and the sheet material wound on said tube, which facilitates its removal from the tube.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2011Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: TKT BRAINPOWER S.L.Inventors: Antoni Balsells, Francesc Masgrau Lagresa, Antoni Guimera Pedrola

Patent number: 9193193Abstract: The present invention relates to transmission device for plotters characterized in that it comprises at least a freely rotating first wheel (2) arranged between the motor tube (5) and the winder tube (6) of a plotter, such that the rotation of the motor tube (5) is transmitted to said winder tube (6) through said freely rotating first wheel (2). It may also comprise a pair of freely rotating wheels (3) that are constrained to rotate together by contact, arranged between said motor tube (5) and said winder tube (6), one wheel of said pair of wheels (3) being in contact with said motor tube (5) and the other wheel of said pair of wheels (3) being in contact with said winder tube (6). It facilitates the change from direct to inverse transmission without having to use tools, and it achieves a clutch effect as the result of the sliding of the wheels with respect to the tubes.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2011Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: TKT BRAINPOWER, S.L.Inventors: Antoni Balsells Mercadé, Francesc Masgrau Lagresa, Antoni Guimerà Pedrola
