Embodiment Construction
[0044] The same reference numerals are used below for the same components or components with the same function, where superscripts are sometimes used.
[0045] figure 1 An isometric view of a star conveyor 1 known from the prior art is shown. The star conveyor 1 includes a body 20 on which a plurality of clamping devices 2 are arranged radially. Each holding device 2 here comprises a corresponding pair of holding arms 4, which are designed to hold a container 3 (see figure 2 ). The star conveyor 1 is not only used, for example, as a conveying device for containers in filling stations of the beverage industry, but also in other stations for gripping, conveying and especially transferring objects such as beverage bottles, collectively referred to herein as "containers".
[0046] figure 2 The transfer points in the embodiment of the star conveyor 1 according to the invention are described. Here the two star conveyors 1 comprise a body 20 on the underside of which the clamp...

#CMT# # / CMT# The device (2) has a pair of gripping arms for gripping and holding a container in a gripping position. A positioning element (6) is formed independent of the gripping arms for positioning the container, which is gripped along an axis in the gripping position. The positioning element includes a positioning stopper (8). The gripping arms and the positioning element are arranged and formed relative to each other such that the container is pushed against the positioning element during a gripping process. #CMT# : # / CMT# An independent claim is also included for a star conveyor comprising a rotatable base body. #CMT#USE : # / CMT# Gripper device for a star conveyor utilized for supplying and discharging of containers (all claimed) e.g. beer bottle, water bottle and soda bottle, to a filling machine in a beverage industry. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : # / CMT# The positioning element is formed independent of the gripping arms for positioning the container, which is gripped along the axis in the gripping position such that safe and accurate gripping of the container is enabled in a cost-effective manner. The device is designed with less component cross-sections such that the light weight device can be manufactured in a cost-effective manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : # / CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of a gripper device. 2 : Gripper device 6 : Positioning element 7 : Main body 8 : Positioning stopper 10 : Central body.
Description
technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gripping device for a star conveyor or similar conveying unit, comprising gripping arms arranged in pairs correspondingly for gripping and holding containers or the like in clamped position. [0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a star conveyor for containers or the like, comprising a rotatable body and a plurality of gripping devices of the aforementioned type distributed around the periphery of the body. Background technique [0003] Star conveyors like this and gripping devices for star conveyors are already known, eg for filling machines in the beverage industry. In automated operations they are used to convey, feed and transport away containers, especially but not limited to bottles for beer, water or soft drinks. Thus, the star conveyor and the plurality of gripping devices arranged on the star conveyor feed the containers, for example along the conveyor belt, which are gripped by the paired gripping arms of ...
