Trading machine

In the trading machine, to extract an object the motor is activated, from which rotary movement is transferred by means of an axis to platform, and pusher unit positioned on the platform is moved towards the channel for placement of object until stopped by the end of lower object, during that time a stack of objects is held in the channel, supported by third wall and simultaneously sliding along the working surface of the platform, lower object, its end being pushed by pusher unit, shifts towards first window. The object which is positioned directly above the lower object, is still partially supported by the latter, whole stack of objects is maintained in unchanged position. Rotation of the platform is continued, lower object under effect of the pusher is ejected into first window, passed into it and moved towards second window, while the pusher approaches second wall. In the moment when the suspended part of lower object is larger than the part in touch with working surface, the lower object is separated from the stack under effect of gravity and then falls into tray.

Glasses delivery automatic machine

Glasses delivery automatic machine

Motor starts working upon receiving signals from control elements. Motor turns carousel in such way that stack of glasses, disposed before first and second ends of corresponding guides, moves in direction of ends. Round skirting of lower glass, when moving along first and second guides, fids itself in spaces third ends and between second and fourth ends of guides. First and second enter space between round welts of lower glass and of glass disposed above it. Then stack of glass shifts in such a way that separators find their place in space. Lower glass moves away from stack until it cannot keep to top glass due to friction, and lower glass separates from stack. At this moment stack of glasses finds itself above outlet and glass, separated from stack, falls down. Separated glass falls down through outlet under effect of gravity. Next stack of glasses stops in front of first and second ends of first and second guides correspondingly. Carousel stops until motor turns on the next time.
