Abstract

A sandwich packaging system comprising a handler tool assembly. The handler tool assembly having a support assembly. The handler tool assembly further has a receiving assembly. The receiving assembly has a receiving base. The handler tool assembly further has a claw assembly. The claw assembly has a plurality of handler claws. The handler tool assembly drops in a vertical direction and clamps a product by the plurality of handler claws.

Claims (40)

1. A sandwich packaging system comprising:

a handler tool assembly having:

a support assembly having:

a main body including a plurality of connection legs; and

an inner frame coupler; and

a receiving assembly having:

a receiving base;

a formulated wall positioned below the receiving base including a plurality of article receivers; and

a claw assembly having:

a plurality of handler claws; and

a directional assembly having a robotic arm assembly coupled to the support assembly by a robotic coupler, the handler tool assembly, drops in a vertical direction and clamps a product by the plurality of handler claws.

2. The sandwich packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the formulated wall is X-shaped.

3. The sandwich packaging system of claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of handler claws include a claw frame.

4. The sandwich packaging system of claim 3 , wherein each of the plurality of handler claws further include a claw arm.

5. The sandwich packaging system of claim 4 , wherein each of the plurality of handler claws further include a cradle.

6. The sandwich packaging system of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of connection legs are positioned between the claw frame.

7. The sandwich packaging system of claim 6 , wherein the claw arm is positioned between both the plurality of connection legs and the claw frame.

8. The sandwich packaging system of claim 7 , wherein the product reaches a designated pick up point where the handler tool assembly will be deployed.

9. A sandwich packaging system comprising:

a handler tool assembly having:

a support assembly having:

a main body including a plurality of connection legs; and

a receiving assembly having:

a receiving base;

a formulated wall positioned below the receiving base including a plurality of article receivers; and

a claw assembly having:

a claw frame;

a claw arm coupled to a claw frame;

a cradle; and

a claw actuator assembly positioned above the claw frame; and

a directional assembly having a robotic arm assembly coupled to the support assembly, the handler tool assembly, drops in a vertical direction and clamps a product between the plurality of article receivers and the cradle.

10. The sandwich packaging system of claim 9 , wherein the main body further includes a plurality of actuator receivers positioned on a plurality of side walls of the main body.

11. The sandwich packaging system of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of article receivers are positioned on an inner side wall of the formulated wall.

12. The sandwich packaging system of claim 11 , wherein the receiving base is positioned below the main body and coupled to the main body.

13. The sandwich packaging system of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of connection legs are positioned between the claw frame.

14. The sandwich packaging system of claim 13 , wherein the robotic arm assembly is capable of moving independently, along axes X, Y, Z, thereby allowing for horizontal and vertical movements and placement of the handler tool assembly.

15. The sandwich packaging system of claim 14 , wherein the robotic arm assembly is capable of moving in combination, along axes X, Y, Z, thereby allowing for horizontal and vertical movements and placement of the handler tool assembly.

16. The sandwich packaging system of claim 15 , wherein the robotic arm assembly includes a robotic arm.

17. The sandwich packaging system of claim 16 , wherein the support assembly attaches to the robotic arm assembly by the robotic arm attaching to a robotic coupler.

18. The sandwich packaging system of claim 17 , wherein the robotic coupler includes a flanged tool stem securely receives a corresponding receiver of the robotic arm assembly.
