Embodiment Construction

[0049] Elements that are the same or have the same effect for the present invention will be in Figures 1 to 6 The same reference numerals are used respectively in . Furthermore, for the sake of clarity, only the reference signs necessary for the description of the respective figures are shown in the respective figures. The illustrated embodiments show only examples, for example, which can be equipped with the device according to the invention or the method according to the invention, and are not restrictive.

[0050] figure 1 A simple variant of the transport section 11 of the palletization station 10 in which a layer of several rows of continuously transported articles is to be formed is shown in a schematic plan view of the same. The conveying section 11 has, in the illustrated embodiment, two parallel conveying tracks 12 and 14, generally described as supply stations 13 or 15, on which, in the normal state, successive rows of articles 16 are transported and conveyed resp...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for forming palletizable layers (22, 28) of adjacent articles (16), multipacks (17) or the like at a layer-forming location using at least one program-controlled manipulator (20) for picking up one or more articles (16) or multipacks (17) at, and / or transferring them to, at least two spatially remote and / or spatially offset feeding stations and for positioning the articles (16) or multipacks (17), by rotation and / or displacement in predeterminable release positions at the layer-forming location, wherein, in dependence on a current supply situation of the articles (16) or multipacks (17) at the at least two feeding stations, the at least one manipulator (20) picks up the articles (16) or multipacks (17) selectively and without any fixed sequence, at the feeding stations and transfers them, with flexible adaptation of the respective transfer path, to the release position. The invention also relates to a corresponding apparatus for forming planar layers (22, 28) of articles (16) using a layer-forming location and at least one manipulator (20). The feeding stations are assigned sensor devices (52) which are intended for detecting the degree to which the feeding stations are occupied by conveyed articles (16) and which are coupled to a control device (54) for activating the at least one manipulator (20).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for layering and / or palletizing parcels, piece goods, multipacks or articles, having the features of method claim 1 of the independent method claim. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for forming a flat layer of adjacent articles, piece goods or multipacks, which has the features of independent claim 7 . Background technique [0002] In known packaging plants and palletizing plants, parcels and piece goods are transported on conveyor tracks and pushed or aligned in a suitable manner so that the desired layer layout is produced, which can then be stacked on pallets. [0003] From EP 1 046 598 A1 is known a device for handling container packages, such as bottles or cans, with which the container packages are to be arranged in a predetermined configuration for transport on pallets. The device has a platform for aligning and separating packages by means of several parallel diagonal guides, each equipped with a...
