Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2019151861A2] An end effector, system and methods for handling stacked sheets, such as fiber reinforced laminate, a compressed stack of fiber reinforced laminate and a method of machining the compressed stack of fiber reinforced laminate. The end effector is arranged for handling a set of press plates and stacked sheets to be sandwiched there between and comprises a carrier with a central portion and a peripheral portion. The central portion is provided with a number of suction grippers arranged to operate in a suction plane. The peripheral portion includes a number of hooks, each hook having a stem that is arranged to reach through the suction plane, and a catch carried thereon having a carrying face arranged to operate in a carrying plane parallel to the suction plane. The hooks are movably disposed, so that the catch can move along the carrying plane between a first position in which the catch can pass through a set of aligned handling apertures in the set of press plates, and a second position in which the catch hooks behind a periphery of a handling aperture in a bottom press plate of the set of press plates.
