Abstract

A gripping mechanism (11) for picking up objects (O) from a pick-up zone (3) on a conveyor (C), comprising an array of six rods (16) which can be extended and retracted by pneumatic cylinders (18), clamping means (17) mounted over said rods and operable to clamp the objects (O) between the rods (16) and the clamping means (17). Also disclosed is a system for palletising or stacking objects comprising a conveyor (C) for conveying objects to a pick-up zone (3), a side barrier (5) comprising an array of upstanding bars arranged along a discharge side (7) of the pick-up zone (3), the bars being spaced to allow the rods of said clamping mechanism to pass with a stack of objects clamped between the rods and the clamping plates (17).
