Chronos Robots Grippers pick up just about anything.


[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

Chronos Richardson believes that to achieve the most out of a Robot robot or automaton (ôtäm`ətän') mechanical device designed to perform the work generally done by a human being.  Palletising Systems end-users need to get a good grip on the business end of the robot. To achieve this Chronos has developed a range of innovative gripper heads, which achieves the optimum output from the world leading Kawasaki Robot Arms.

The different types of gripper currently on offer:

* Pneumatic gripper A pneumatic gripper is a specific type of pneumatic actuator that typically involves either parallel or angular motion of surfaces that will grip an object. When combined with other pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic components, the gripper can be used as part of a "pick and place"  for cartons and boxes * Pneumatic gripper for cans, pails, buckets, drums and sheets * Motorised Adj. 1. motorised - equipped with a motor or motors; "a motorized wheelchair"
motored, motorized
 pusher pusher Drug slang 1. A person who sells drugs, especially the 'heavies'–eg, heroin 2. A metal hanger or umbrella rod used to scrape residue in crack stems  gripper for bags only * Motorised pusher gripper for bags and pallet * Motorised pusher gripper for bags, pallet, and slip sheets * Pneumatic gripper for bags only * Pneumatic gripper for bags and pallet * Pneumatic gripper for bags, pallet, and slip sheets * Pneumatic pneumatic /pneu·mat·ic/ (noo-mat´ik)
1. pertaining to air.

2. respiratory.


pneu·mat·ic
adj.
1. Of or relating to air or other gases.

2.
 pusher gripper for bags * Multi-pack bundle gripper

Extensive application knowledge and expertise ensure Chronos application engineers can provide the best available advice when end-users are planning to install a robot palletiser or perhaps upgrading an existing system. They can discuss detailed needs and expectations; taking particular account of the site conditions, layout options and performance expectations.

Chronos expertise helps ensure the selection of the ideal gripper option to take into account the individual circumstance Circumstance or circumstances can refer to:
  • Legal terms:
  • Aggravating circumstances
  • Attendant circumstance
 of specific applications.

Below are some of the typical factors that need to be addressed:

* What palletising outputs are required? * Are different products being palletised at the same time; or just a single product? * Do products need to be isolated to take into account reject or under-weight packages? * What palletising formats are required? * Which type and size of pallet will be used?

One aspect often overlooked is the optional upstream From the consumer to the provider. See downstream.

(networking) upstream - Fewer network hops away from a backbone or hub. For example, a small ISP that connects to the Internet through a larger ISP that has their own connection to the backbone is downstream from the larger
 and downstream requirements including:

* Infeed and accumulation conveyors * Pallet magazines slip sheet dispensers. * Protection fences * Light barriers * Outfeed conveyors * Wrapping and load protection systems
