Abstract
The invention relates to a method for transferring hollow cylindrical objects from a supply unit to a removal unit by providing a transport unit for transferring hollow cylindrical objects between a supply unit and a removal unit, providing at least holding element in the transport unit, positioning the hollow cylindrical object in contact with the at least one holding element at the supply unit wherein the hollow cylindrical object is held by the holding element, moving the transport unit with the hollow cylindrical object from the supply unit to the removal unit, and removing the hollow cylindrical element from the at least one holding element at the removal unit.
Claims30
A method for transferring hollow cylindrical objects from a supply unit to a removal unit comprising the steps of:
- providing a transport unit for transferring hollow cylindrical objects between a supply unit and a removal unit;
- providing at least one holding element in the transport unit, the at least one holding element is provided with an opening in the transport unit which receives the hollow cylindrical object;
- positioning the hollow cylindrical object in contact with the at least one holding element at the supply unit wherein the hollow cylindrical object is held by the holding element;
- moving the transport unit with the hollow cylindrical object from the supply unit to the removal unit;
- and
- removing the hollow cylindrical element from the at least one holding element at the removal unit.
A method for transferring hollow cylindrical objects from a supply unit to a removal unit comprising the steps of:
- providing a transport unit for transferring hollow cylindrical objects between a supply unit and a removal unit;
- providing at least one holding element in the transport unit, the transport unit comprises two discs situated one above another wherein each disc rotates around an axis, and wherein axis of rotation of one disc is inclined at an angle to the axis of rotation of the other disc;
- positioning the hollow cylindrical object in contact with the at least one holding element at the supply unit wherein the hollow cylindrical object is held by the holding element;
- moving the transport unit with the hollow cylindrical object from the supply unit to the removal unit;
- and
- removing the hollow cylindrical element from the at least one holding element at the removal unit.
A method for transferring hollow cylindrical objects from a supply unit to a removal unit comprising the steps of:
- providing a transport unit for transferring hollow cylindrical objects between a supply unit and a removal unit;
- providing at least one holding element in the transport unit, wherein the at least one holding element is provided with a plurality of troughs molded into a surface of the transport unit for accommodating a plurality of hollow cylindrical bodies wherein a vacuum source is connected to the troughs by holes, the transport unit comprises a cylindrical wheel which rotates around an axis and the holes running radially inward from a lateral surface of the wheel, and further including providing an annular chamber in the interior of the wheel, in which a blocking slider rotatable around the axis is located, wherein attachment to the vacuum source is changeable by the rotating blocking slider;
- positioning the hollow cylindrical object in contact with the at least one holding element at the supply unit wherein the hollow cylindrical object is held by the holding element;
- moving the transport unit with the hollow cylindrical object from the supply unit to the removal unit;
- and
- removing the hollow cylindrical element from the at least one holding element at the removal unit.
