    摘要: A controlled motion system is disclosed comprising a linear track, a plurality of movers being movably mounted on the linear track for moving along a path. At least a first mover and a second mover are connected as a first pair to a guide unit. The guide unit comprises first and second guide tracks movably connected to respective first and second movers, whereby the guide tracks extend with an angle towards a transverse direction, the transverse direction being perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the path, so that the guide unit is movable in the transverse direction in response to a relative movement between the first mover and the second mover in the longitudinal direction. The guide unit is connected to an article receiving section configured to engage an article for manipulating a position thereof in relation to the path. A related method and packaging machine are also disclosed.

    摘要: The invention relates to a conveying device (1) comprising an upstream conveying means (2) for receiving products (3) from at least one upstream station, an accumulation surface (4) along which the upstream conveying means (2) circulates, a loading means (5) for moving the products (3) from the upstream conveying means (2) to the accumulation surface, a downstream conveying means (6) for clearing the products (3), and an unloading means (7) for moving the products (3) from the accumulation surface (4) to the downstream conveying means (6). Said device is characterised in that the downstream conveying means (6) comprises a plurality of independent moving means receiving the products (3) in receiving zones which are successively distributed from the edge of the accumulation surface (4) opposite the edge along which the upstream conveying means (2) extends. The invention also relates to a corresponding method.
