2.2.3 Push plate unit

Push plate unit overview
Except for the top press plate pressing on the package, the claw plate unit is used
to push the package from two side faces to grasp the package and prevent the
bag from slipping corresponding with the gripper. Two push plates are drove by
two pneumatic cylinders mounted on the main frame. To ensure the synchronization
of the two push plates, a synchronization bar is used. The stroke of the two
pneumatic cylinders are 30mm.
