ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for automatically picking up and positioning packs of individual signatures comprises a rigid framework which defines a bridge crane including a pair of parallel fixed support rails for guidance of a pair of movable rails on which is slidably supported a transfer head assembly including a jaw assembly having two jaws which can be moved towards or away from one another to pick up or release packs of signatures. The jaw assembly is movable up or down with respect to that part of the transfer head assembly mounted on the rails of the bridge crane, and is automatically controlled by a microprocessor to pick up a pack of signatures from a stack on a pallet, transport the pack to a treatment station, rotate it about a vertical axis to orientate it correctly before lowering, release it and then move to another stack to load a different treatment station.
