The invention relates to a method and to a device for the singulation of packages, especially for the singulation of parcels. The invention is based on the assumption that the parcels are initially present as a bulk flow. The packages are transported in the form of a package flow on fifteen different transport means at different transport speeds, whereby the transport direction is deflected at least once by approximately 90°.

A method for counting and aggregating a pre-determined number of articles includes: driving, by a conveyor, an article stream to move to an end of the conveyor in a single layer state; conveying the article stream in a periodic motion; after the articles in the article stream leave the conveyor, accurately counting the number of the articles; and when a total number of articles in a combination of temporary storage bin is the same as a target number, transporting all articles in the combination of temporary storage bin to a storage device. Article batches are separately delivered to different temporary storage bins, and the total number of articles in temporary storage bins in different combinations is calculated, so as to obtain with a combination in which the number of articles is the same as the target number. The operation efficiency is improved and the manufacturing cost of device is reduced.

A conveying system employs independently controlled flights. The flights are controlled separately from a conveying surface. The conveying system includes a dynamic gapping conveyor for spacing conveyed objects in a selected manner. The dynamic gapping conveyor uses flexible flights independently driven by drivers to control the spacing between conveyed objects. The independent drivers allow the position of the flights to be controlled based on the length of a conveyed object.

The invention relates to a method for operating an electromagnetic transfer system (10) which is used to convey items (1; 1a) to a downstream conveyor device (15), and which comprises a carrier path (20), preferably designed to be closed, on which there is at least one moveable transport element (22) for an item (1; 1a) that is moved along on a transport surface (24) by said transport element (22), said transport element (22) having at least one permanent magnet element (32) that is arranged to be functionally connected to individually-energisable inductor coils (31) which are arranged along the carrier path (20). Position-detecting means (35) are provided to ascertain the position of the transport element (22) on said carrier path (20) and, in a delivery region (37), the item (1; 1a) is delivered from the transport surface (24) to the downstream conveyor device (15), said conveyor device having a separate drive (38). According to the invention, in order to reduce the spacing (A, A1, A2) between individual items (1; 1a) on the downstream conveyor device (15), the conveyor speed (v4) of said conveyor device (15) is reduced intermittently at the point of delivery from the transport surface (24) to the conveyor device (15), in relation to the speed (v2) of the transport element (22), and/or the speed (v2) of the transport element (22) is increased at the point of delivery in relation to the conveyor speed (v4) of the conveyor device (15).

The invention relates to a transfer arrangement (10; 10a) for transferring articles (1), having a first conveying arrangement (11) for the articles (1), on which the articles (1) are conveyed at in particular non-uniform intervals (a) from one another, and having at least one transporting element (38) with a transfer element (44) for butting against an article (1) along a transporting route in the region of the transfer arrangement (10; 10a) and for transfer from the transporting route onto a second conveying arrangement (15), wherein the at least one transporting element (38) is arranged such that it can be moved along a closed transporting path (30) which has a multiplicity of preferably individually energizable coil elements (36) which are in operative connection with at least one permanent-magnet element (39), arranged at least indirectly on the transporting element (38), and cause the transporting element (38) to move along the transporting path (30) when the coil elements (36) are energized, wherein a control arrangement activates the coil elements (36) in order to generate a movement profile of the transporting element (38), and wherein an arrangement with means (41, 42) for detecting the position of the transporting element (38) is provided along the transporting path (30). According to the invention, it is provided that the first conveying arrangement (11), in a transfer region (26) for transferring the articles (1) to the transporting route of the transfer arrangement (10), is aligned with the transporting route, and that the movement profile of the transporting element (38) is such that, when the article (1) is received by the transfer element (44), the transfer element (44) comes into contact with the article (1) in an at least more or less impact-free manner.
摘要:
An infeed apparatus for the manufacture of containers such as can bodies, comprises a series of 3 or more infeed turrets (22, 30). The infeed turrets (22, 30) take a can body as linear pitch and convert this pitch to a circular pitch. By use of the series of turrets, the can passes to a machine such as a container processing machine not only at a desired linear pitch but also at the specified processing speed. The exchange ratio between individual turrets (22, 30) in the infeed turret series is variable and no greater than 2:1.

A sheet take-out apparatus includes a first separation unit, a second separation unit, a drawing roller for drawing sheets from a nip of the second separation unit, and a pinch roller rotating in contact with it. Overlapping sheets which pass the first and second separation units and are not separated are detected to be overlapped in a state that they are clamped by the nip of the drawing roller and pinch roller. When overlapping is detected, in a state that the rear ends of the overlapping sheets in the conveying direction are restricted by the nip, the drawing roller and pinch roller are stopped and the overlapping sheets are re-separated.
