In the lifting device, the packaging content is separated from the outer packaging.
- a cutting device for outer packaging which provided for transporting outer packaging transport unit, a sensor unit for measuring the height and width and the position of the outer packaging, a positioning unit for fixing the outer packaging during processing and a robot unit with a cutting device for separating the transported outer packaging having.
- the cutting unit cutting device comprises a computer unit which calculates a movement sequence and a pattern of the robot unit based on the determined data of the sensor unit on the outer packaging and on the stored software. More precisely, in order to be able to execute a pattern, the edge lengths of the outer packaging are measured and the measured values are transmitted to the controller, which calculates therefrom the movements of the robot unit according to the pattern.
- a cutting device in which an overwrap is cut open by two separate rotating knives.
- One of the knives runs around three sides of the outer packaging and cuts the two transverse sides and one longitudinal side of the outer packaging, while the second stationary knife cuts open the second longitudinal side of the outer packaging.
- the longitudinal sides are cut open by moving the outer packaging longitudinally in relation to the knives attacking knives.
- the knife moves along the transverse sides in front of and behind the outer packaging.
- a sensor runs along, which is one end of the travel path along the transverse sides, when the sensor is covered by a frame part of the device.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device and a method for attaching a cutting path to an outer packaging, which allows a simple and cost-effective design a quick separation of outer packaging.
- An inventive device for attaching at least one cutting path to an outer packaging is characterized by a linear guide unit which is coupled or couplable with at least one cutting unit and which is provided for attaching the at least one cutting path, wherein the at least one cutting unit has at least one cutting element a sensor unit, which is provided at least for detecting a surface of the outer packaging, by a positioning unit, which is provided for positioning and / or fixing the outer packaging in a cutting position, by a transport unit with a transport path, which for transporting the outer packaging to and / or by a cutting position is provided, wherein a travel of the at least one cutting element relative to the outer packaging by a sensor signal of at least one sensor of the sensor unit can be predetermined, in a defined geometric relationship to the at least a cutting element is.
- the at least one sensor is arranged leading the at least one cutting element, wherein the at least one sensor and the cutting unit are both arranged simultaneously in the processing area of the outer packaging. Irrespective of the dimensions of the outer packaging, the distance between the cutting unit or the at least one cutting element and the at least one sensor can be fixed so that the position of the cutting unit is also known by a position of the at least one sensor when attaching the at least one cutting path.
- the cutting element can be moved even further, until the cutting path is guided to the end of the outer packaging, or the cutting path can end shortly before the reached edge of the outer packaging, so that the outer packaging is still closed at the corners, however, cut open as far as possible and is accordingly easy to open.
- unit should be understood to mean in particular a total unit, which may also consist of several individual units.
- high quantities of outer packaging are opened in constant quality without damaging the packaged products in a short time since the process of attaching from a cutting path to an outer packaging or the process of separating the outer packaging can take place almost automatically.
- the dimensions of the particular rectangular outer packaging for the device according to the invention play no role, since they can individually recognize and process the respective surfaces of the outer packaging.
- This adaptation takes place with simple technical means and structurally cost-effective components that can work reliably on the basis of their simple function and design, high volumes of outer packaging.
- an individual measuring of the edge lengths of the outer packaging and processing of the recorded measured values can be omitted, whereby expensive sensors can be saved.

- the sensors of the sensor unit detect only caused by the dimensions of the outer packaging control signals, or provide a corresponding sensor signal, which then determine the travel; However, a complex measurement of the outer packaging to provide measurements of the dimensions of the outer packaging is not. Regardless of the dimensions of the outer packaging, the distance between the cutting unit or cutting element and sensor is fixed, so that the position of the sensor and the position of the cutting unit is known.
- the leading sensor unit guarantees during the entire operation of the device a fast collision-free movement of the mutually movable units and elements, in particular of the cutting element, and thus a trouble-free course of the process. Due to the sensor unit, the device according to the invention for separating overpacks, unlike the prior art, does not require a costly robot or time-consuming programming effort.

- each of the cutting elements can be assigned to a different surface of the outer packaging. So that the two sliding surfaces of the cutting head abut the surface of the outer packaging and, in order to attach a continuous cutting path to the outer packaging, neither the cutting head nor the outer packaging must be rotated by 90 °. This results in a relatively fast alignment of the cutting head on the surface of the outer packaging, whereby the processing time decreases. In addition, this has the advantage that all surfaces of the outer packaging can be processed quickly in constantly the same quality, since each side surface of the outer packaging is assigned a respective cutting element.
