A method for automatically handling a plurality of product containers includes the steps of: providing a container exchange apparatus having at least one platform for temporarily hosting containers to be transferred; moving the at least one platform along a conveyor device and a shelving unit; and driving shifting means for exchanging containers from the conveyor device to the shelving unit, and vice-versa, via the at least one platform.

Method for automatically handling a plurality of product containers, and a related system

A method is disclosed for varying a spatial arrangement of randomly arranged, stacked or piled products, particularly to rearrange the products in a way that makes automated handling thereof possible. The method relies on a plurality of subsequent conveyors extending between a product input and a product output, wherein at least one of a conveyor speed a conveyor direction and a conveyor height of a conveyor of the plurality is offset from, respectively, the conveyor speed the conveyor direction, and the conveyor height of a subsequent conveyor in the plurality.

Method for varying the spatial arrangement of products

A method and system for automatically forming and handling compound pallet units including a pallet and a plurality of products stacked on the pallet. The method includes the steps of providing a conveyor device, at least one loading area provided for automatically receiving empty pallets and temporarily hosting compound pallet units to be transferred to a main conveyor, and at least one manipulator robot configured for picking selected products and placing the products on a pallet stationing at said loading station.

A device for carrying out a repitching operation, i.e., for changing the pitch between articles (A) comprised in a flow of moving articles, includes one or more conveying elements () for the articles (A) that are to follow a path of orbital movement about a principal axis (X) between a position of picking-up (T) and a position of release (G) of the articles (A) themselves. The speed of said orbital movement is selectively variable () in the passage between the aforesaid positions of picking-up (T) and of release (G) so as to modify the pitch between the articles (A) carried by the conveying elements (). Said conveying elements () are likewise orientable about a respective axis (X) oriented in a radial direction with respect to the principal axis (X) so as to modify the orientation of the articles (A) in the passage between the position of picking-up (T) and the position of release (G). There is present at least one cam formation (), the cam profile of which follows the path of orbital movement of the conveying elements () about the principal axis (X). The conveying element or each conveying element () is provided with a cam-follower element () that can co-operate in a relationship of following with the aforesaid cam formation () for determining the orientation assumed by the respective conveying element () in the position of picking-up (T) and of release (G), irrespective of the speed of the aforesaid orbital movement.

Device for changing the pitch between articles being conveyed and rotating these articles

Described herein is a side panel for sanitary articles that can be worn as pants, such as baby diapers or sanitary towels, with a main body, which can assume a general U-shaped configuration, with end parts arranged on the front and on the back of the body of the user, and with at least one aforesaid side panel for connecting the aforesaid end parts on each side of the user. The side panel has an as a whole tapered pattern starting from a proximal edge to be fixed on the main body of the article and a distal edge carrying a connection formation for closing the article itself around the waistline of the user. The panel has, in connection with the proximal edge and distal edge, two end sides inclined with respect to the general direction of extension of the aforesaid proximal edge and distal edge. The end sides have profiles such that the side panel is juxtaposable without any solution of continuity in a position corresponding to said end sides with two homologous side panels rotated through 180&#xb0; in the general plane of extension of the panel. Each connection formation is extendable in a distal direction beyond the distal edge of the panel.
