Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH03200516A] PURPOSE: To feed a foldable carton from all side of a magazine onto one end of a box-making machine by positioning a feeding station and a receiving section facing each other, disposing suction heads on a rotor by shifting them by a specified angle and specifying the radius direction intervals of suckers. CONSTITUTION: Suction heads 22 disposed by shifting 120 deg. respectively all over the whole periphery of a rotor 20 are guided along a cycloid path C for the purpose of delivering a foldable carton 1 from a feeding station A to a receiving station B. For the purpose of forming the cycloid path C, the gear ratio between a sun gear 35 and a planet gear 33 is set as 4:3 and the radius direction intervals of suction faces of respective suction heads 22 are set in the range of three times of the eccentricity E of crank pins to the rotation axial line of a crank 30. The interval between the feeding station A and the receiving station B is set as two times of the total of the eccentricity distance E of the crank 30 and the spacing D between the suction heads 22 and the axial line of the rotor 20 or the axial line of the crank pins.
