A method for transferring objects such as ophthalmic lenses or contact lenses between two consecutive processing stations, particularly processing stations having differing cycle times or cycle speeds is disclosed, including removing the objects from a preceding processing station, in which the objects are advanced with a first cycle speed, transporting the removed objects to a subsequent processing station including a plurality of consecutively arranged receptacles (1-10), which are advanced through the subsequent processing station with a second cycle speed faster than the first cycle speed. The objects may be transported via at least one feed tube (12, 13), each feed tube ending in a respective transfer nozzle (14, 15) which is arranged in vicinity of a corresponding one of the receptacles (1-10) and which is aligned with an inlet of the receptacle (4, 5; 4, 6). The respective transfer nozzles (14, 15) are capable of being moved synchronously with and in the direction of advancement of corresponding receptacle. |
