Abstract: A gripper head (10) for manipulating packaging blanks is disclosed.
The gripper head (10) comprises an upper gripping unit (17) and a lower gripping unit (19) which are configured for the joint tight gripping of a plurality of packaging blanks from a stack (50) having a large number of packaging blanks. Furthermore, the gripper head (10) comprises a separating unit which is configured to lift outer edges of given packaging blanks intended for being tightly gripped. The separating unit comprises a linear actuator (16) for lifting the outer edges, which actuator is arranged in such a way that its rectilinear lifting axis is inclined relative to a contact surface of the lower gripping unit (19) when the separating unit (18) lifts the outer edges of the given packaging blanks via the linear actuator (16).

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging system (1) and to a method for feeding flat packaging materials (20) to a packaging system (1). The packaging system (1) comprises a packaging module (2), a first transport device (3) for feeding articles to the packaging module (2) in a first transport direction (TR1), and a second transport device (4) for feeding flat packaging materials (20) arranged in a first upright orientation (22sv1) in a second transport direction (TR2), which second transport direction (TR2) differs from the first transport direction (TR1). Furthermore, the packaging system (1) comprises a handling device (5) for arranging the flat packaging materials (20) on the second transport device (4), wherein the packaging system (1) comprises at least one displacement unit (8), which displacement unit (8) is configured to displace a plurality of upright packaging materials (20) relative to one another, which displacement unit (8) has vertically oriented side walls (9) and a support surface (10), wherein an angle differing from 90 degrees is formed between each of the side walls (9) and the support surface (10).
