  • Publication number: 20200346808
    Abstract: A tray gripper may be attached to a gripper arm of a tray sealing machine. For this purpose, the tray gripper is moved to a pre-assembly position by hooking the tray gripper onto the gripper arm. In addition, an eccentric is operated for exerting a clamping force upon the tray gripper that is disposed in the pre-assembly position, so that an attachment structure of the tray gripper is tensioned against an abutment structure of the gripper arm.
