Bulk material moving device, has gripping device movable in vertical and horizontal directions, and including control unit for sequential withdrawal of gripping effect of gripping elements, according to fixed pattern

摘要

The device has a gripping device (20) movable in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction by a drive device (30) i.e. folding arm robot. The drive device is attached at a housing (50). The gripping device has multiple gripping elements e.g. suction mechanisms (21), from which respective units are controllably separable from each other. The gripping device has a control unit for sequential withdrawal of the gripping effect of the gripping elements, according to a fixed pattern. An independent claim is also included for a method for moving a bulk material from one position to another position.
