发明名称 Tilting and rotating station for use in an automated order-picking system
摘要 A system (10) and method for packing an article (20) onto a shipping carrier (26), the article (20) having an arbitrary orientation relative to the conveyor (28) and being transported within an order-picking system on a conveyor (28; 28a, 28b) downstream towards a packing station (22), which includes a packing robot (12) for automatically loading the shipping carrier (26), wherein the article (20) is to be put down with one of its faces (38) onto the shipping carrier (26). The one of the faces can be predetermined arbitrarily, comprising: a rotating station (30), preferably provided in the conveyor (28), and thus dividing the conveyor (28), having a rotation area (42), which is substantially arranged in a plane of the conveyor (28) for receiving an article (20) from the conveyor (28), and which is rotatable from a receiving position about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the conveyor (28) into a plurality of delivery positions; and a tilting station (32) comprising a tilt area (46), wherein the tilt area (46) in a receiving position is substantially orientated parallel with respect to the plane of the conveyor (28), and in a tilting position is substantially orientated perpendicular to the plane of the conveyor (28).
