| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a system ( 1 ) and a method of dispensing stackable objects ( 2 ), comprising a storage unit ( 4 ) and actuatable discharge mechanisms ( 21 ) as well as a detection system ( 30 ), whereby the storage unit ( 4 ) has shaft-type dispenser magazines ( 13 ) disposed in its longitudinal direction aligned one after the other in a row, from which the objects ( 2 ) are dispensed, and the discharge mechanisms ( 21 ) are provided at the bottom end ( 20 ) of each dispenser magazine ( 13 ). The detection system ( 30 ) has a measuring unit, by means of which the distance between the uppermost object ( 2 ) lying farthest away from the discharge mechanism ( 21 ) and a top level limit ( 42 ) of a dispenser magazine ( 13 ) is measured, and from this, the level of objects ( 2 ) or an actual stock level of objects ( 2 ) in at least some of the dispenser magazines ( 13 ) is calculated. In a preferred embodiment, the measuring unit is mounted on a control carriage ( 32 ) disposed above the top ends of the dispenser magazines ( 13 ) which can be displaced horizontally between the dispenser magazines ( 13 ).
