Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for automatically stacking tires (4) on a support (1). According to the method, geometrical data of the tires (4) and/or a digital model of the tires (4) is provided, based on the geometrical data and/or the tire model and a predefinable size of the support (1), an algorithm calculates a stacking pattern for the tires (4) on the support (1) by taking into account a predefined size of the support, said stacking pattern making it possible to store the largest possible number of tires (4) in a stable manner on the support (1). Positional data of the tires (4) are adopted from the stacking pattern and associated trajectories of a handling device for stacking the tires (4) are generated and stored according to the stacking pattern. The stored positional data and trajectories are retrieved and transferred to the handling device, which receives the tires (4) at a given receiving position and puts the same on the support (1) in accordance with the positional data and associated trajectories. The present method and the associated device make it possible to automatically stack the tires with an optimal stacking pattern for the tires.

Abstract: The present invention proposes for the first time a completely automatable method for handling substantially rod-shaped objects, particularly poles of articles individually stacked in one another, such as plastic cups, for use e.g. in the dairy industry, during loading processes in conjunction with a loading aid, particularly a cardboard box or carton. The objects to be handled are made available in a first geometrical arrangement by a manufacturing or processing machine. The invention is characterized in that initially at least part of the objects is gripped, subsequently a relative arrangement of the objects is modified and the modified arrangement of the objects is deposited in the loading aid, the objects being arranged in upright standing manner. This makes it possible to achieve optimum packing densities for the objects in the loading aid. The invention also relates to a device suitable for performing said method.
