Modern package handling systems face increasing demands for flexibility and reliability, with conveyor speeds reaching 1200 units per minute and requiring precision control within 0.1mm tolerances. Traditional fixed mechanical systems struggle to maintain these speeds while adapting to varying package sizes and maintaining careful control over separation forces.

The fundamental challenge lies in achieving high-speed, precise control of package movement while eliminating mechanical complexity that could compromise reliability or adaptability.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including independently movable handling units with synchronized pivoting mechanisms, cam-driven separation systems, and integrated stability controls for stacked configurations. These and other approaches focus on practical implementations that maintain precision across varying package sizes and line pressures while reducing system complexity.

1. Biaxially Oriented Polyester Film with Dual-Layer Structure and Controlled Friction and Haze Properties

TOYOBO CO LTD, 2025

Biaxially oriented polyester film with non-slip surface, transparency, and easy winding for use in packaging applications like food containers and top seals. The film has two layers, A and B, both containing polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The dynamic friction coefficient of the A layer surface, the friction coefficient between A and B layers, and the haze are controlled within specified ranges to balance slipperiness, transparency, and processability. The film's non-slip surface prevents stacked containers from collapsing when pressed together.
