Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
To pack objects into a box, a pickup head equipped with multiple vacuum cups picks up a layer of the objects and descends into the box. The box is initially positioned in an approximately correct position relative to the path of descent of the pickup head and as the pickup head approaches the top of the box, four guide panels snap into engagement with the four inner walls, respectively, of the box for four purposes: (1) to position the box precisely correctly relative to the path of descent of the pickup head; (2) to crowd the layer of objects on the pickup head together to conform to the dimensions of the box; (3) to guide the pickup head into the box; and (4) to serve as guards to prevent damage to the descending objects by the rim of the box.
