A machine for unwinding and rewinding a covering tape () includes a first support shaft to coaxially receive a reel of covering tape, a second support shaft, parallel to and distanced from the first support shaft, which is adapted to coaxially receive a tubular support, a motor adapted to put the second support shaft in rotation around its own axis, a plurality of contrast rollers arranged around the second support shaft and oriented parallel thereto, and a movement apparatus adapted to move the contrast rollers towards and away from the axis of the second support shaft.

Machine for unwinding and rewinding a covering tape intended for the stabilisation of palletised loads

Machine for stabilising palletised loads includes a functional arrangement, a first movement apparatus generating relative motion about a revolution axis, a second movement apparatus generating relative translation motion of the functional arrangement in a direction parallel to the revolution axis. The functional arrangement includes a support shaft, a motorised drive roller, a contrast roller, and actuator members to create relative movement between the drive roller and the contrast roller in transversal direction with respect to the respective rotation axes between a distanced configuration, in which a gap is defined between the drive roller and the contrast roller to be crossed with clearance by the covering tape unwinding from the reel, and a neared configuration, in which the drive and contrast rollers clamp the covering tape. The support shaft and the contrast and/or drive rollers are mounted on the functional arrangement and oriented in the same direction.

Machine for stabilising palletised loads with reel change system

A machine () and a method for stabilising palletised loads () are described, comprising: a functional arrangement () provided with a reel () on which a covering tape () is wound, a gripping device () adapted to take a first end of the covering tape () wound on the reel () and to make it integral with the palletised load (), a first movement apparatus () adapted to generate a relative motion of revolution of the functional arrangement () around the palletised load (), according to a predetermined revolution axis (Z), a second movement apparatus () adapted to generate a relative motion of translation of the functional arrangement () with respect to the palletised load () in a direction parallel to the revolution axis (Z), a cutting device () placed in the functional arrangement () so as to separate the covering tape () from the reel (), a fixing device () adapted to fix at least a second end of the covering tape () to the palletised load ().

A seizing head for objects is described that includes a support frame adapted to be coupled to a manipulator robot, and a plurality of picking apparatuses arranged mutually flanked according to a predefined flanking direction and individually adapted to take and withhold at least one object, wherein each picking apparatus is installed on a respective mobile frame, which is slidably coupled to the support frame according to a sliding direction parallel to the flanking direction, and wherein the seizing head further includes a plurality of functionally independent activation devices, each of which is adapted to activate a respective mobile frame along said sliding direction.

Manipulation head for objects

A machine for stabilising palletised loads including an apparatus having a reel of covering tape, a gripping device to take a first end of the tape of the reel and make it integral with the load, a first movement apparatus to generate relative revolution of the apparatus around the load about a predetermined revolution axis, a second movement apparatus to generate relative translation motion of the apparatus with respect to the load in a direction parallel to the revolution direction, a cutting device placed in the apparatus to separate the tape from the reel, and a fixing device to fix a second end of the tape to the load. The apparatus also includes a tensioning fin configured to rotate around an articulation axis parallel to the reel axis and having a rectilinear end border, distal of and extending parallel to the articulation axis and configured to stay in contact with a longitudinal edge of the tape unwinding from the reel, and a spring acting on the fin to push the end border against the longitudinal edge of the tape.

Machine for stabilizing palletised loads with tensioning fins

Herein described is a system and method for packaging packages (C), comprising the steps of: forming a row of packages (C) advancing, one following the other, along a pre-set advancement direction (A), picking up at least two first packages (C) from the row, superimposing each of said first packages (C) on a respective second package (C) of the row, releasing each of the first packages (C) resting on the respective second package (C), obtaining at least two stacks of packages, each of which comprises at least two mutually superimposed packages (C) and stabilising the stacks of packages (C).

Method and system for packaging packages

A palletizing device () comprising a lower plane () able to supportingly receive a pallet () and a loading device () vertically mobile above the lower plane () and comprising an upper platform (), superposed in plan view on the lower plane () and provided with variable-configuration support means () and activating means able to cyclically move the support means () between a closed configuration, in which the define a support for a first layer of products () to be palletized, and an open configuration, in which they remove the support in order to release the first layer of products () downwards, in which the loading device () comprises a storing platform () defining a support for a second layer of products () to be palletized and flanked to the upper platform ().

Palletising device

A machine for winding a load by an extensible web, including a fixed base for supporting the load, a fixed framework overlying said base, a framework moveable vertically on the fixed framework, which rotatably supports a horizontal circular guide, means for rotating the guide, a mechanism for imposing vertical translations to the moveable framework, a mechanism suspended on the guide bearing the reel with the winding web, in which the circular guide has a hollow tubular section, and is rotatably held within a seat integral with moveable framework and including at least three pairs of wheels with mutually inclined axes for creating the seat for sliding and retaining the guide.

Winding machine for groups of packages

A machine for grouping packs includes a sliding work plane for advancing in sequence at least a consecutive and equidistanced row of packs along a predetermined advancing direction (A); and a retaining means for cyclically braking the advancing of one of the packs of the row with respect to the sliding work plane, the retaining means including at least a striker body and a moving means for cyclically locating the striker body close to a pack advancing on the work plane, such that the striker body receives the pack in contact there-with, preventing the pack from advancing at a same speed as a previous speed thereof on the work plane.
