| 20120104782 | ADJUSTABLE GRIPPER HEAD ASSEMBLY - A gripper head assembly for a product processing machine includes a gripper support and a plurality of grippers secured to the gripper support to grip a plurality of product routed through the product processing machine. The gripper head assembly is configured such that a spacing of the plurality of grippers is changeable relative to the gripper support. A product processing machine includes a grid assembly for guiding product to a destination and a gripper head assembly for gripping product and guiding the product into the grid assembly. The gripper head assembly includes a gripper support and a plurality of grippers secured to the gripper support to grip a plurality of product routed through the product processing machine. The gripper head assembly is configured such that a spacing of the plurality of grippers is changeable relative to the gripper support. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20110067539 | FILM POSITIONER - A film positioner includes at least one film guide having a plurality of parallel guide bars. The guide bars are operably receptive to at least one film material strip and extend at least partially across the film positioner with axes nonparallel to a lateral extent of the film positioner. A method of changing a lateral position of at least one film material strip includes wrapping the at least one film material strip is around a first guide bar of the plurality of guide bars, thereby turning the at least one material strip to a guide angle from the flow direction. The at least one material strip is wrapped around a second guide bar of the plurality of guide bars, thereby turning the at least one material strip from the turn angle back to the flow direction at a second lateral position different from the first lateral position. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110067356 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF PRODUCT WRAPPING - An aim assembly includes a hub movable about a central axis and at least one support operably connected to the hub. At least one arm is operably connected to the at least one support and thereby movable about the central axis in a predetermined path. At least one adjustment mechanism is located at the central axis and is capable of altering the predetermined path during movement of the at least one support about the central axis. A method of operating an arm assembly includes locating at least one hub at a central axis and moving at least one arm about the central axis in a predetermined path. The at least one arm is operably connected to the at least one hub via at least one support. An adjustment mechanism is engaged thereby altering the predetermined path during movement of the at least one arm about the central axis. | 03-24-2011 |
