Abstract: The invention concerns a method for horizontal movement of groups or layers of articles from a first support level of a first conveyor module to a vertically movable second support level of a second conveyor module immediately downstream of the first conveyor module in the direction of transport or transfer, in particular by means of a transfer device that remains spatially associated with the first conveyor module during the transfer. Shortly before or after reaching a final position of the transfer device, the respectively transferred group or layer of articles is moved in the direction of transport on the second conveyor module by means of a support surface horizontally movable relative to this second conveyor module and/or centered on the second conveyor module before or during its vertical hoisting movement.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for horizontal movement (26) of groups or layers of articles (10) from a first support level (22) of a first conveyor module (12) to a vertically movable second support level (24) of a second conveyor module (14) immediately downstream of the first conveyor module (12) in the direction of transport or transfer, in particular by means of a transfer device (18) that remains spatially associated with the first conveyor module (12) during the transfer (26). Shortly before or after reaching a final position of the transfer device (18), the respectively transferred group or layer of articles (10) is moved in the direction of transport on the second conveyor module (14) by means of a support surface (32) horizontally movable relative to this second conveyor module (14) and/or centred on the second conveyor module (14) before or during its vertical hoisting movement (42). The invention further comprises a corresponding device for horizontal movement of groups or layers of articles (10) form a first conveyor module (22) to a second conveyor module (14) in particular by means of a suitable transfer device (18). The second conveyor module (14) has a support level (24, 32) that is horizontally movable and/or oscillates between two final positions (38, 50), and which is positioned immediately adjacent or near to the first conveyor module (12) in the first final position (38) and at at least a slight distance from the first conveyor module (12) and/or approximately centred relative to the second support level (24, 32) in the second final position (50).

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging or palletizing machine, a system and a method for automated generation of motion and position parameters for a packaging or palletizing machine for bundle arrangements. Layer and/or packaging parameters can be entered at a user interface that is used to generate parameters for controlling the packaging or palletizing machine. A digital twin of the packaging or palletizing machine can be used to generate or calculate the parameters. This allows the calculated parameters to be tested and validated by simulation using the digital twin. The parameters are generated such that the packaging machine being controlled using the parameters creates a package for a bundle according to the packaging and/or layer parameters and/or the palletizing machine being controlled using the parameters arranges bundles according to the layer and/or packaging parameters. After generating the parameters, the packaging or palletizing machine is configured based on the calculated parameters.

Abstract: This invention concerns a method for horizontal movement of groups or layers of articles (10) between adjacent conveyor modules (12, 16, 34). The groups or layers of articles (10) are moved from a vertically movable first support level (28) of a first conveyor module (16) to a vertically movable second support level (38) of a second conveyor module (34) immediately downstream of the first conveyor module (16) in the direction of transport or transfer (30) by means of at least one frame-like transfer device (22, 40), which is lowered over the layer or group of articles (10) to be transported and encompasses them on all sides, and moves in the direction of transport or transfer (30) from the first conveyor module (16) to the second conveyor module (34) during the movement of a group or layer of articles (10) At least during the transfer movement, the support layers (28, 38) of the first and second conveyor modules (16, 34) form a common transfer surface at approximately the same height or moving vertically in the same direction. This invention further concerns a suitable device for handling and/or stacking and/or palletising groups or layers of articles (10). The device comprises a vertically movable first conveyor module (16) with a first support level (28) and a second conveyor module (34) with a second support level (38) immediately downstream of the first conveyor module (16) in the direction of transport or transfer (30), as well as at least one vertically movable frame-like transfer device (22, 40) for pushing a group or layer of articles (10) from the first conveyor module (16) to the second conveyor module (34). The transfer device encompasses the group or layer of articles (10) on all sides, whereby the support layers (28, 38) of the first and second conveyor modules (16, 34) form a common, vertically moving transfer surface at approximately the same height or moving vertically in the same direction during the transfer (30).
