Abstract: A packaging line to pack profiles and a rotor are described herein. An example method includes transferring a first profile to a movable head carrying a rotor, coupling the first profile to the rotor, along a first side wall of the first profile, with a concave section of the first profile facing upwards, rotating, via the rotor, the first profile such that the concave section of the first profile is facing downwards, transferring a second profile to the movable head with a concave section of the second profile facing upwards, and releasing the first profile over the second profile to insert a side wall of the first profile into the concave section of the second profile and a side wall of the second profile into the concave section of the first profile.

Abstract: An automated packaging line for C- or U-shaped profiles are related methods are disclosed. An example method includes transferring a first profile and a second profile to a first location, each of the first and second profiles having a u-shaped or c-shaped cross-section defining an external convex side and an internal concave side. The example method also includes rotating a first blade and a second blade about a horizontal central axis, where the first blade and the second blade are coupled to opposite ends of a pair of rotor arms including a first rotor arm and a second rotor arm. The first and second rotor arms rotate about axes that are parallel to and offset from each other. The example method also includes inserting the first profile into the first blade with the internal concave side of the first profile facing upwards as the first blade moves upward through its rotation.

Abstract: An example packaging line to pack profiles having a U-shaped or a C-shaped cross-section includes a first conveyor and a second conveyor to transfer profiles. The first conveyor and the second conveyor are spaced from and parallel to each other. The example includes a head block to move upward and downward. The first conveyor and the second conveyor transfer profiles to an area beneath the head block. The example includes a rotor, carried by the head block, to couple to a first profile transferred by the first and second conveyors with a concave side of the first profile facing upwards. The rotor rotates the first profile such that the concave side of the first profile is facing downwards over a second profile, where a concave side of the second profile is facing upward, and the rotor releases the first profile to insert the first profile into the second profile.

Abstract: An automated packaging line for C- or U-shaped profiles is described. The example packaging line includes a first blade and a second blade that are rotatable around a horizontal axis in a first vertical plane and a third blade and a fourth blade that rotatable about the horizontal axis in a second vertical plane that is parallel to and offset from the first vertical plane. The first blade and the third blade are synchronously rotatable around the horizontal axis and the second blade and the fourth blade are synchronously rotatable about the horizontal axis.

Abstract: A packaging line to pack profiles and a rotor are disclosed herein. An example packaging line to pack profiles having a U-shaped or a C-shaped cross-section formed by a first side wall, a second side wall and a base wall between the first and second side walls is disclosed herein. The example packaging line includes a first conveyor and a second conveyor to transfer profiles. The first conveyor and the second conveyor are spaced from and parallel to each other. The example packaging line also includes a head block to move upward and downward. The first conveyor and the second conveyor are to transfer profiles to an area beneath the head block. The example packaging line also includes a rotor, carried by the head block, to couple to a first profile transferred by the first and second conveyors with a concave side of the first profile facing upwards.
