  • Patent number: 7111437
    Abstract: For producing wall panels (8) from bricks (1), a line-up path (4) on which bricks to be masoned are deposited in a row with a gripper, a transfer device (10) for transporting the brick row from the line-up path (4) to a bricklaying station (7) for masoning the wall panel, and a device for moving apart the bricks to form vertical joints (9) between the bricks (1) of the wall panel (8) are provided. The gripper depositing the bricks (1) on the line-up path (4) is formed by a depiling gripper (3) that depiles the bricks (1) of a pile (2) in rows with its two longitudinal grippers (13, 14). The device for moving apart the bricks (1) is formed by transverse grippers (21, 21a) disposed on the depiling gripper (3) between the longitudinal grippers (13, 14), said transverse grippers (21, 21a) individually holding the bricks (1) of the brick row depiled with the longitudinal grippers (13, 14) and being formed to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the depiling gripper (3).

  • Patent number: 6868847
    Abstract: In a method for producing wall panels, bricks (9) are partly cut at a cutting station, conveyed to a line-up path (5) and then masoned into wall panels. Bricks (9) to be cut are gripped by a transport and holding device (12; 12a; 34; 49; 66), transported to the cutting station (19, 20; 24a; 50) and cut at the cutting station (19, 20; 24a; 50) in the required cutting planes in the state as clamped in the transport and holding device.
