Publication number: 20140238617Abstract: A system includes a first drive unit used for driving at least one of a release device, a gripper device, and a second drive unit used for driving a support device. The release device is a vacuum device. The vacuum device is coupled to a vacuum source and applies a suction force against an edge portion of one layer among a first layer disposed on a second layer. Another layer among the first layer and the second layer is held by a support surface of the support device. The vacuum device and/or the support device are movable upwards and downwards for peeling the edge portion of the one layer from the other layer. The gripper device holds the peeled edge portion of the one layer and the support device or the gripper device is movable along at least one axis for removing the one layer from the other layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2013Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Sultan Shair, Martin Petersen

Publication number: 20140196852Abstract: A system and method for removing steel beads from large diameter tires by lifting a tire into a position adjacent an extraction hook and a pair of stripping dyes. The hook is positioned adjacent the tire bead and is then withdrawn through a narrow opening in the stripping dyes, which removes the bead from the tire. The machine is capable of removing both rubber-encased inner beads from the tire without repositioning the tire within the system. A plurality of lifting platforms position the tire and the stripping mechanisms with respect to one another throughout the extraction process.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: Eagle International, LLCInventors: Julie K. Prochello, Les Pederson, Joe Brehmer

Publication number: 20140150981Abstract: Provided is a peeling apparatus includes a first holding unit, a second holding unit, and a peeling inducing unit. The first holding unit holds a first substrate of a superimposed substrate in which the first substrate and a second substrate are bonded. The second holding unit holds the second substrate of the superimposed substrate and moves the second substrate in a direction of separating the second substrate from a surface of the first substrate. The peeling inducing unit forms an area where the second substrate starts to be peeled off from the first substrate on a side surface of the superimposed substrate. The second holding unit includes a first suction and moving unit and a second suction and moving unit. The first suction moving unit sucks and moves a circumferential edge portion of the second corresponding to the area formed by the peeling inducing unit, in a direction of separating the circumferential edge portion from the surface of the first substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2013Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: Tokyo Electron LimitedInventors: Masanori Itou, Masaru Honda, Takayuki Chinju
