Transfer and alignment module (10) configured for the at least partially automated handling of batch-packed or separated packaging material (2) at a
transfer point with a change of direction in an arrangement between two systems (20) of a
production line (30), comprising: -a table (13) for transferring the packaging material (2); -a plurality of drivable transfer units (13.1) provided on the table, in particular transfer rollers or bearings; -at least one alignment unit (13.3) provided on the table, in particular with slide rails (13.4) for adjusting a lateral relative position; -at least one drive (14) and at least one drive and / or control component (18) from the following group:
actuator (18.1), measuring
transmitter (18.2), sensor (18.3); characterized in that the transfer and alignment module (10) has a first
material transfer point (11.1) upstream of the table (13) and a second
material transfer point (11.2) downstream of the table, wherein the transfer and alignment module (10) has a frame (12) supporting the table and rollers (17) and is thus mobile, wherein the transfer and alignment module (10) is designed in a modular manner and can be arranged relative to at least one
system (20) for the at least partially automated handling,
processing or production of the packaging material (2) in such a way that the transfer and alignment module (10) can be coupled to the
system (20) in a modular manner for the packaging
material transfer and for the alignment of the packaging material (2),wherein the transfer and alignment module has at least one control component which can be coupled to at least one
signal of the
system and by means of which at least one
transfer parameter can be specified as a function of the operating state of the system, wherein the transfer and alignment module (10) is configured to scale from a first transfer speed or
cycle rate to a second transfer speed or
cycle rate.
