  • APPARATUS FOR HANDLING PARTS OF ANY KIND, IN PARTICULAR FOR THE LINEAR LOADING AND UNLOADING OF MACHINES
    Publication number: 20090084749
    Abstract: An apparatus for handling parts of any kind, in particular for the linear loading and unloading of machines, comprising a drive unit (1) for the linear displacement of a beam (2), boom or the like, wherein the beam (2) comprises a guide (3) for a carriage (4), is characterized in that the beam (2) and the carriage (4) can be displaced in the same direction and work in the same direction, and in that the drive unit comprises a stationary drive element (5) and a drive element (6) which is permanently assigned to the beam (2) and which can move with this beam (2), wherein the drive elements (5, 6) act directly or indirectly on one another.

  • Portal system
    Patent number: 5006036
    Abstract: A portal system is described which consists of two translational axes and two rotary axes which are so arranged and controlled that every point within a cubic working space can be computed and reached. As a result of this special kinematic construction the total complexity for the frame and also the mechanical complexity and cost are substnatially reduced in comparison to customery portal systems.
