In order to be able to load a forming tube channel, which stands very steeply and is open at a front and top on a longitudinal side, correctly by checking and, if necessary, changing position of a product piece in the forming tube channel, instead of sliding the new product piece from the outside on a support plate to the forming tube channel in the machine and dropping it into the forming tube channel, the entire forming tube channel is moved from a cutting position outward to a loading position, the product piece is inserted there and an entire transfer device in the form of one or more slides is moved back to the cutting position and locked there.

Slicing machine with cross transfer device for loading outside the machine and loading method for a slicing machine

An apparatus () for manipulating a load includes a first support structure () for supporting the load and a second support structure () for supporting the load. The apparatus also includes a coupling () coupled between the first support structure () and the second support structure (). The coupling () includes a compliant mechanism () for providing a compliant range of motion to the load about a rotative axis where a center of gravity of the load is located away from the rotative axis. The rotative axis is a non-vertical axis.

Test head positioning system

An apparatus for supporting a load includes pneumatic units and couplers coupled to opposite sides of the load. The couplers move the load parallel to a first axis responsive to actuation of the pneumatic units. At least one of the couplers rotate the load about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. The load is compliant along the first axis and about the second axis At least one of the pneumatic units provides compliance along the first axis and about the second axis.

Test head positioning system and method

Provided is an apparatus for establishing a distance between a test head and a peripheral. The apparatus includes a frame to which one of either a test head or a peripheral is docked. The frame has a linear unit which moves the frame towards or away from a docking surface of either the test head or the peripheral.
