Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2020005664A1] A multi-function reel change tool (10) is provided for use with a robotic arm (20), such as a collaborative robotic arm, for changing film rolls on packaging equipment. The tool includes a first part (18) capable of acquiring, cradling, transporting and depositing a partially full or full reel of material by contacting an outer periphery of the reel and a second part (22) capable of acquiring, cradling, transporting and depositing the core of a spent or partially spent reel of material by contacting the outer periphery of the core of the spent reel or material or the outer periphery of the material remaining on a partially spent reel. Preferably, but not necessarily, the tool has no independently moveable components.
