Device for handling products in individual or grouped containers based on movement by elastic pressure in the top of the containers

Abstract

The present patent application for the invention of a device, coupled to a robot or other handling system, deals with the pressure on the container, which allows the product to be moved to be held, moving and rotating them, defining their positioning and organizing them for later palletizing or positioning for subsequent operations. The invention comprises a device (D) composed of a headstock or structure (1) made of metal or another type of material, to be coupled, by means of a coupling (2), to a robot (R1) or other handling equipment; and, in the lower part of the device (D), an elastic blanket (3) made of material such as elastic/polymer is installed, which must have the property of maintaining the integrity of the product handled, in this case the container (4), single or grouped, and allow it to be moved over the work area (A1). The device (D), according to the invention, is operated from movements for the formation of layers or mosaics (M) from a dedicated software, and this association enables the movement of the containers (4) in transverse and longitudinal axes, or swivels.
