An example through sketch

I - The problem

We have boards which are 100 to 150 mm wide 20 to 30 mm deep and 500 to 4000 mm high. These boards are transported on a convoy. We have to take them from the convoy and to put them on an inferior level 500mm away and it has to be parallel to the convoy.

II - Research

It is a simple system. We decide to take the 500-to-4000-mm high boards at one end with a gripping of 500 mm.

III- Systemic analis

Take the boar from conveyor :pneumatic clamp with one gripping action and two liberating actions and also
with an action to keep the board balance.

Level changing: grip level "0", high level "+350" , low level"-300". We chose an electric motor to pull it all up.

Movement : pneumatic action.

This system has 5 movements
