    摘要: The present invention includes an apparatus (1) and a method for handling articles and comprises an upper suspension (3) with at least three rotatably driven positioning arms (5), where the positioning arms (5) each comprise at least two arm sections (7, 9) that are swivelable relative to each other and operated independently of one another. A manipulator (32) comprises one or more clamping jaws (34, 36) and is mechanically coupled to the positioning arms (5) such the manipulator can be positioned by movement of one or more of the positioning arms (5). At least one drive shaft (12) is linked non-rotatingly to the manipulator, such that the manipulator is rotated by movement of the at least one drive shaft (12). Rotation of the at least one drive shaft (12) also controls the one or more clamping jaws (34, 36) via the at least one actuating shaft (14).

    摘要: The invention is a method and device for reducing bundles (2) being conveyed in a transport direction (TR) in n rows (3) to a smaller number of continuing transport rows, in particular to (n−1) or (n−2) or (n−3) continuing transport rows (3-1, 3-3). A space (8) is formed at least between the individual bundles (2) of at least one incoming and continuing transport row (3-1, 3-3). The size of the space (8) corresponds to at least the value of a longitudinal extent of an individual article or of an individual group (2) in transport direction (TR). At least two bundles (2) of the at least one row (3-2) are transferred simultaneously by a gripper (10) into a number of consecutive spaces (8) between bundles (2) of a continuing transport row (3-1, 3-3) adjacent to the row (3-2).

    摘要: The present invention includes a method for the handling of articles such as packs, piece goods or the like. The method is performed with a device comprising an upper suspension, to which at least three rotatable driven actuating arms are attached. The device comprises a manipulator with one or more sets of clamping jaws for gripping the articles and which is mechanically coupled to the at least three actuating arms. A position of the manipulator can be defined by a movement of one or more of the at least three actuating arms via a linear guide. The linear guide is formed as a rotatable first shaft and connected to the manipulator in a torque proof manner. The manipulator is rotated together with the first shaft by a rotational movement of the first shaft. At least one actuating device designed as a second shaft passes through the linear guide and controls the one or more sets of clamping jaws for temporarily gripping and releasing of articles. The actuating device designed as a second shaft is rotated relative to the linear guide in order to operate the one or more clamping jaws.
