AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing processing devices and methods for objects in controlled environments face challenges in efficiently transferring and processing objects while minimizing contamination risks, particularly when handling objects in non-straight line arrangements and requiring complex handling within the controlled environment.

Method used

The solution involves transferring objects from a first format nxm to a second format oxp within the controlled environment, where p = 1 and o > 1, with the packaging remaining outside, using a transfer device that removes objects from packaging outside the controlled environment, and utilizing intermediate stations to facilitate efficient processing.

Benefits of technology

This approach reduces contamination risks, simplifies processing operations, and optimizes space usage by minimizing the number of objects and components within the controlled environment, allowing for faster and more efficient handling and processing of objects.

Abstract

A processing device (1) for objects (2) is proposed, having a controlled environment (3), the controlled environment (3) having at least one passage (4) for introducing objects (2), wherein the objects (2) are present in a packaging (7) in a first format (6) comprising at least one arrangement of n x m objects (2), wherein n > 1 and m > 1, characterized in that, in the controlled environment (3), an input transport device (11) or a transfer device (8) is designed to remove the objects (2) from the packaging (7), wherein the packaging (7) remains at least partially outside the controlled environment (3) during the removal, in that, in the controlled environment (3), the or a transfer device (8) is designed to transfer (9) the objects (2) from the first format (6) n x m to a second format (10) o x p, where p = 1 and o ≥ 1.
