Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6189428
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A method for removing a substantially planar work piece (11) from the top of a stack (10) of work pieces comprises the steps of gripping the work piece (11) on a top surface of the work piece, lifting the gripped work piece, pre-separating the work piece from the stack by introducing a separator element (43) in between the lifted work piece and a neighboring work piece underneath the lifted work piece (11) and gripping and removing the pre-separated work piece (11) by a transport device. An apparatus for carrying out the method comprises a gripper (33) for gripping the work piece (11), the gripper (33) being movable in a vertical direction for lifting the gripped work piece (11), a separator element (43) being movable in a horizontal direction to be introduced in between the lifted work piece (11) and a neighboring work piece underneath the lifted work piece (11) and a transport device for gripping and removing the pre-separated work piece (11). The method and apparatus allow for fast and reliable removal of substantially planar work pieces from the top of a stack.
