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).
