CA 2458179

A method and apparatus for providing corners of a load (110) with cornerboards (152) prior to wrapping the load is provided. The method may include providing a load on a load transport surface, removing a cornerboard from within a magazine (150) by a gripper (170), and transporting the cornerboard to a corner of the load with the gripper. Relative rotation may be provided between the stretch wrap packaging material dispenser and the load to wrap the stretch wrap packaging material around the cornerboard and the load. If the cornerboard is not pre-formed, it is folded prior to transport to the load. The cornerboard is secured to the corner of the load with the stretch wrap packaging material. In a preferred embodiment, four magazines and four grippers are provided, such that four cornerboards can be carried to the load at the same time.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil qui permettent d'équiper les coins d'une charge de cornières de protection avant d'emballer cette dernière. Le procédé de l'invention consiste à placer une charge sur une surface de transport de charge, à enlever une cornière de protection d'un magasin à l'aide d'une pince, et à transporter la cornière de protection jusqu'à un coin de la charge à l'aide de la pince. Une rotation relative peut être effectuée entre le dispositif d'alimentation du film étirable d'emballage et la charge afin de permettre que le film étirable d'emballage enveloppe la cornière de protection et la charge. Si la cornière de protection n'est pas préformée, elle est pliée avant son transport vers la charge. La cornière de protection est fixée sur le coin de la charge à l'aide du film étirable d'emballage. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, l'invention comprend quatre magasins et quatre pinces qui permettent de transporter simultanément quatre cornières de protection jusqu'à une charge.
