Claims16
A transfer system for transferring an item, the transfer system comprising:
- a transfer assembly for transferring an item to a transporting carriage in a transfer area;
- and
- a transporting carriage for receiving the item from the transfer assembly in the transfer area;
- a transporting carriage load-relieving device, which is arranged in the transfer area and is configured to relieve the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred, wherein the transporting carriage load-relieving device comprises a raising device for raising the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred;
- and
- an aligning assembly for aligning the transporting carriage to the item transferred from the transfer assembly into the transfer area, wherein the aligning arrangement comprises an item orientation sensing device for sensing an orientation of the item transferred from the transfer assembly into the transfer area.
3 more elements
An overall installation, comprising:
- at least one transfer system for transferring an item, the at least one transfer system comprising a transfer assembly for transferring an item to a transporting carriage in a transfer area, the at least one transfer system further comprising a transporting carriage for receiving the item from the transfer assembly into the transfer area, the at least one transfer system further comprising a transporting carriage load-relieving device, which is arranged in the transfer area and is configured to relieve the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred, wherein the transporting carriage load-relieving device comprises a raising device for raising the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred, wherein the transfer area comprises a support structure, the raising device being movable such that the raising device moves relative to the support structure, the transporting carriage comprising a wheel steering unit, the raising device being configured to lift the transporting carriage such that the wheel steering unit is located at a spaced location from the support structure when the raising device is in a raised position;
- and
- a corrugator plant.
An item transfer method for transferring an item, the method comprising the steps of:
- transferring an item to a transporting carriage in a transfer area from a transfer assembly;
- and
- receiving the item transported by the transfer assembly in the transfer area by the transporting carriage, wherein a transporting carriage load-relieving device is arranged in the transfer area, the transporting carriage load-relieving device being configured to relieve the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred, wherein the transporting carriage load-relieving device comprises a raising device for raising the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred, wherein the transfer area comprises a support structure, the raising device being movable such that the raising device moves relative to the support structure, the transporting carriage comprising a wheel steering unit, the raising device being configured to lift the transporting carriage such that the wheel steering unit is located at a spaced location from the support structure when the raising device is in a raised position.
A transfer system for transferring an item, the transfer system comprising:
- a transfer assembly for transferring an item to a transporting carriage in a transfer area;
- and
- a transporting carriage for receiving the item from the transfer assembly in the transfer area;
- a support structure;
- a transporting carriage load-relieving device, which is arranged in the transfer area and is configured to relieve the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred, wherein the transporting carriage load-relieving device comprises a raising device configured to raise each and every portion of the transporting carriage, relative to the support structure, to a spaced location from the support structure upon receiving the item to be transferred, the transport carriage being in contact with the support structure when the raising device is in a non-raised position.
