A station for picking up and delivering shaped sheets that define box-like bodies of different types includes a magazine for the sheets and at least one handling element for at least one sheet at a time. The magazine accommodates a plurality of mutually aligned and juxtaposed sheets and the at least one handling element includes an end bracket provided with at least one grip element and at least one assembly with arms which are articulated with respect to the bracket and are independently movable with respect to a fixed frame. The bracket can move between a first configuration of alignment with the end sheet accommodated in the magazine, in the condition where the at least one grip element is in contact with the end sheet, and a second configuration of alignment with a conveyance line of the sheets which corresponds to the delivery region.
A station for picking up and delivering shaped sheets that define box-like bodies of different types, of the type comprising a magazine for said sheets and at least one handling element for at least one sheet at a time, wherein said magazine accommodates a plurality of mutually aligned and juxtaposed sheets and said at least one handling element comprises an end bracket provided with at least one grip means and at least one assembly having arms articulated with respect to said bracket and are independently movable with respect to a fixed frame, said bracket being movable between a first configuration of alignment with the end sheet accommodated in said magazine, in the condition where said at least one grip means is in contact with said end sheet, and a second configuration of alignment with a conveyance line of said sheets which corresponds to a delivery region, each arm of each assembly being rotatable and independently movable with respect to the fixed frame of the station, by way of the action of a respective motor device, with respect to a single common rotation axis, said motor device being of the type chosen from among controlled electric motors, controlled brushless motors, actuation systems constituted by motors and camshafts, wherein said arms which are independently movable with respect to a fixed frame are three in number, two first arms being pivotally connected to respective linkages, each respective linkage having an end pivotally connected to said bracket to rotate about a common first rotation axis, a third arm being pivotally connected to a rod, the free end of the rod is rotatably engaged with said bracket about a second rotation axis.
