METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING ARTICLES, PIECE GOODS, OR BUNDLES, RESPECTIVELY

摘要

Disclosed is a method for conveying, handling, manipulating, stacking, and/or palletizing articles (20), piece goods, and/or bundles, which are fed in conveying direction (38) to a handling station and/or grouping station (52) and are taken up there within a defined manipulating section (50) by means of a handling device and/or manipulating device (34), are rotated and/or shifted and thus respectively brought into an arrangement (46) to each other so as to be stackable or palletizable. The arrangements (46) are subsequently stacked on top of one another and/or palletized for the purpose of forming stacked layers (60) of articles, piece goods, and/or bundles. The articles (20), piece goods, and/or bundles are transferred to the handling station and/or grouping station (52) as pairs or triplets (14), which have been stacked pairwise or triple-wise on top of one another in a stacking station 64 arranged upstream.;Moreover disclosed is a corresponding arrangement of stations (12) for conveying, handling, and/or palletizing, which are arranged consecutively in conveying direction (38), for the purpose of conveying, handling, manipulating, stacking, and/or palletizing articles (20), piece goods, and/or bundles. A handling station and/or grouping station (52) comprises a handling device and/or manipulating device (34) for taking up, rotating, and/or shifting the articles (20), piece goods, and/or bundles within a defined manipulating section (50). Arranged downstream in conveying direction (38) from the handling station and/or grouping station (52) is a palletizing station (54) for the purpose of stacking and/or palletizing stackable or palletizable arrangements (46) of articles, piece goods, and/or bundles. In addition, a stacking station (64) is arranged upstream in conveying direction (38) from the handling station and/or grouping station (52) for the purpose of pairwise or triple-wise stacking on top of one another articles (20), piece goods, and/or bundles before they are transferred to the handling station and/or grouping station (52).

1. A method for conveying, handling, manipulating, stacking, and/or palletizing articles (20), piece goods, and/or bundles, which are fed in conveying direction (38) to a handling station and/or grouping station (52) and are taken up there within a defined manipulating section (50) by means of a handling device and/or manipulating device (34), are rotated and/or shifted and thus respectively brought into an arrangement (46) to each other so as to be stackable or palletizable, which arrangements (46) can subsequently be stacked on top of one another and/or palletized for the purpose of forming stacked layers (60) of articles, piece goods, and/or bundles, wherein the stacked groups (14) of articles, piece goods, and/or bundles, which are transferred to the handling station and/or grouping station (52), are double- or triple-stacked on top of one another in a stacking section (64), which is arranged upstream, in particular, spatially immediately upstream in conveying direction (38), from the handling station and/or grouping station (52), and wherein the articles (20), piece goods, and/or bundles are transferred to the handling station and/or grouping station (52) as pairs or triplets (14), which have been stacked pairwise or triple-wise on top of one another.
