- OT-2026-000000033
This disclosure describes an anti-sway control system for cranes that mitigates payload oscillation during hoisting and trolley travel. The system utilizes feedback from a rope angle sensor to dynamically adjust the acceleration and deceleration profiles of the crane's motion axes. By incorporating real-time rope lengt

This disclosure describes a system for verifying the tool center point (TCP) of a robotic manipulator's end effector. A reference artifact featuring three precisely oriented touch planes is positioned within the robot's workspace. A contact-sensing tool engages each plane sequentially, and the robot's position encoder

A system for precise article induction onto a cross belt sorter carrier is disclosed. It addresses the problem of articles being misaligned, dropped, or split across multiple carriers due to induction timing that is not precisely synchronized with the physical position and pitch of the carriers. The arrangement utilize

An arrangement for separating overlapping parcels on a conveyor system is disclosed. It utilizes a series of rollers, each comprising multiple independently driven bands, to create a speed gradient across the conveyor width. This differential speed causes parcels that are in contact or partially overlapped to separate
