Problems solved by technology

However, when coupling in this way by means of incremental sensors, there is the risk that, if the individual goods are positioned imprecisely, deviations will result in the correlation.
Furthermore, incorrect positioning of individual goods can add up, requiring additional measures for additional motion control of the robot

Embodiment Construction

[0051] Figure 1 to Figure 5 The top views each show the time course of an embodiment variant of the method according to the invention for processing successively moving individual goods by means of corresponding handling devices. According to the method description described below, small or minimal gaps or distances between the individual goods 2 may occur during the gap-free conveying of the individual goods 2 moving one after the other. These gaps or distances can arise, for example, through a relative movement of the individual parts 2 relative to one another and / or through dimensional deviations of the individual part parts 2 . When such gaps or distances occur, it can happen that the receiving position of the manipulator 5 or the gripper described below acting in the catch area 4 is no longer correct. If this positioning error of the manipulator 5 with respect to the piece goods 2 to be captured is accumulated by a plurality of piece goods 2 or groups of piece goods 2 t...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for handling piece goods (2) which are moved one after another and are transported to a capture area (4) of at least one manipulator (5). In thisconnection, in a plurality of successive manipulation steps in each case at least one transported piece good (2) is gripped by clamping and / or by force fitting and / or by form fitting by the at least one manipulator (5) out of the closed formation (F), is spatially separated from following piece goods (2) of the closed formation (F), and is brought into a defined relative target position and / or target orientation in relation to the respective following piece goods (2). In particular, in this case the piece goods (2) are brought into respective different target positions and / or target orientations such a way that in each case preliminary groupings and / or layer arrangements for stackable layers of piece goods are formed in each case with a defined number of piece goods (2). During the courseof this, within the closed formation (F) gaps (30) are produced in each case between successive groups (1a) of a defined number of piece goods (2), wherein the number of piece goods (2) within the separate group (1a) corresponds to a defined number of piece goods (2) of each preliminary grouping and / or layer arrangement to be formed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for handling piece goods moving in at least one row in succession with the features of the independent method claim 1 . Furthermore, the invention relates to a plant for handling piece goods moving in at least one row in sequence, having the features of independent plant claim 11 . Background technique [0002] In known methods for packaging and / or palletizing individual goods, such as parcels, multi-packs, etc., the individual goods are first conveyed on a transport device conveyed in a straight line and are suitably Shifting, orientation and / or alignment in order to produce the desired shaped layers, which can then be stacked multiple times one above the other, for example onto pallets prepared for this purpose. Said processing step can be advantageously used in particular in plants for processing containers for beverages. The relevant unit goods can be, for example, packages, boxes, cartons, multipacks or other gr...
