Anchor rods position assesment for connection of manipulating equipment to the transported structure

Abstract

The manipulation and transport of baskets in which goods or components of various shapes are inserted is very often complicated due to manufacturing tolerances and deformations of the basket. Prediction of the connectivity of the basket and the transport device in the gripping points is very important from the point of view of safe transport of the basket. The methodology and procedure for determining the connectivity of the gripping elements of the transported device with the anchor holes of the basket columns is presented. In the analysis and evaluation of the connectivity of the basket with the transport device, the production tolerances of the basket and the transport device are taken into account and as well as the changes of important dimensions of the basket caused by different loading conditions.
