Method and device for handling piece goods moving sequentially in at least one row

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for handling sequentially moving piece goods (2) which are transported to a capture area (4) of at least one manipulator (5). In this case, in a plurality of subsequent handling steps, at least one transported piece ( 2 ) is in each case gripped and / or force-fitted from the formation (F) as a whole by means of at least one manipulator ( 5 ) and / or form-fittingly captured, spatially separated from the subsequent piece of goods (2) of the formation (F) as a whole, and respectively placed in a defined relative target position with respect to the subsequent piece of goods (2) and / or or target orientation. In particular, the component goods ( 2 ) are placed in respectively different target positions and / or target orientations in such a way that a defined number of component goods ( 2 ) each forms a layer for stackable component goods layers. Pre-grouped and / or layered arrangements. During this time, gaps (30) are respectively produced between mutually following groups (1a) of a defined number of individual goods (2) within the formation (F) as a whole, wherein the individual groups (1a) of the separate groups (1a) The number of piece goods ( 2 ) corresponds to the defined number of piece goods ( 2 ) per pregroup and / or layer arrangement to be formed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for processing piece goods that move in sequence in at least one row. Furthermore, the invention relates to a plant for processing piece goods that move in succession in at least one row. 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 groupings. In order for the mentioned pallets to be transported reliably, certain requirements m...

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
