A device for removing flat articles, in particular blanks of collapsed boxes from a delivery station and for transferring them to a receiving station which has a transport device thereat. Plural suction arms each with suction devices thereon are provided, which suction arms move through a self-contained cycloidal path. The cycloidal path has several tips and curved segments lying therebetween. The delivery station and the receiving station are each arranged at a tip of the cycloidal path. A rotor is provided for moving the suction arms. A sun and planet gear arrangement is provided on the rotor, which sun and planet gear delineate the cycloidal path. The suction arms are aligned parallel to one another and preferably to the transport direction of the transport device in order to achieve in this manner a technically simple and reliable device.
A device for removing flat blanks of collapsed boxes from a delivery station, and for transferring the boxes to a receiving station which includes a transport device, comprising plural suction arms with suction devices supported thereon, the suction arms being rotatably supported for movement on a closed cycloidal path, wherein the cycloidal path is defined by plural tips separated by curved segments lying therebetween, wherein the delivery station and the receiving station are each arranged at a respective tip of the cycloidal path, and comprising a rotor for effecting movement of the suction arms, wherein a sun and a planet gear are provided on the rotor, the sun and planet gear delineating the cycloidal path, and wherein the suction arms are aligned parallel to one another and to a transport direction of the transport device.
A transfer device for removing flat blanks of collapsed boxes from a delivery station and transferring the blanks to a receiving station that includes a transport device, comprising:
