  • Patent number: 11273993
    Abstract: A machine and method for positioning objects is provided. The machine has a first conveyor belt configured to receive a plurality of objects; machine vision device configured to identify the position and the shape of the objects; robotic collection device configured to collect the objects according to the information received from the machine vision device; and a second conveyor belt configured to enable the outlet of the objects. The transfer conveyor has transfer carriers configured to move in a closed loop through it enabling the speed and position thereof to be controlled independently, where the transfer carriers are configured to receive the objects coming from the robotic collection device and deliver the objects to the second conveyor belt.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9708130
    Abstract: A machine for supplying containers that comprises: a hopper (10) configured to contain a plurality of containers (100) arranged randomly; a transfer station (20); and a first elevator (30) that has first horizontal blades (31) longitudinally, each of said first blades (21) being configured to collect a first container (101) from the hopper (10) and lift the same in a horizontal position to the transfer station (20). Said machine (1) comprises a second elevator (40), parallel to the first elevator (30), that has second horizontal blades (41) longitudinally, each of said second blades (41) being configured to collect a second container (102) from the hopper (10) and lift the same in a horizontal position to the transfer station (20); and an alignment station (50) configured to receive the first (101) and second containers (102) coming from the transfer station (20) and supply the same horizontally in an aligned manner.
