Abstract: A commissioning device (1) has essentially vertical product storage units (2) in which products (3) of the same type are stacked, respectively, and at least one conveying means (4), especially a conveyor belt, which is located underneath the product storage units, for transporting outgoing selected or commissioned products. The product (3′) at the very bottom of the stack of a selected product storage unit can be pushed out of the product storage unit in the direction of travel (F) of the moving conveying device and placed in a positioned product field (6) of the conveyor device by an upwardly oriented product stopping device (5) of the conveying device. The product storage units (2) are preferably located at equal intervals above the level of the conveying device (7). If the bottom product (3′) in a stack is not commissioned, the product stops (5) of the moving conveying device (4) pass freely under the product storage unit (2).

Abstract: An arrangement (1, 1′) for automatically unstacking containers (6, 6′) nested in each other in lying posture, by depositing them on a support, e.g. a conveyor (3a), with the container opening (6a) facing upwards, the arrangement comprising a gripping device (5) for gripping and moving out the respective first container (6) of a lying container stack (2, 2′), the gripping device (5, 5′) being arranged on holding elements (8a, 8b) movable in stacking direction, and further comprising a clamping device (4) for holding back the lying container stack (2, 2′), with the foremost container (6) being left free, wherein the gripping device (5) is provided with lateral pressure-medium cylinders (5a; 46) which have horizontal axes on the same level and which are connected with the holding elements (8a, 8b) extending thereabove.

Abstract: A commissioning system (1) is provided with product storage compartments (2) vertically to horizontally disposed in a shelf, in which products are stacked. The product right at the bottom of such a stack of a selected product storage compartment can be ejected by a positionable ejector unit (4) in a direction transverse to the shelf. The inventive system is further characterized in that the shelf (5) is configured as a frame/component system, especially as a frame and plug-in modules system, which comprises modular elements. The shelf is variable in terms of height, width and/or length and can optionally be extended by adding modular elements.

Abstract: A deviation device for a conveyor which defines a conveying plane (22), e.g. a driving roller path (23), for deviating conveyed goods, e.g. containers, comprising a row of rollers (7) arranged on a separate carrier (5) common to them, the carrier being arranged in a frame (3) so as to be adjustable in height therein, the rollers having an associated driving roller (4) in common, characterized in that the frame (3) accommodating the carrier (5) is a separate module frame of a deviation module element (1; 1′) in which the driving roller (4) is mounted below the carrier (5) with the rollers (7), and in which, preferably, furthermore a basic carrier (3B) is fixed between the roller carrier (5) and the driving roller (2), which basic carrier carries a lifting drive (2) for the roller carrier (5).

Abstract: An arrangement (1) of a conveyor section (2) is provided for containers (10, 11, 12) that are conveyed on said conveyor section and that are in a filling position. The containers are to be filled with items (3) or with a bulk material in a filling station (4) by means of a filling funnel (5). The conveyor section (2) is provided on at least one side immediately before, in and after the filling station (4) with a continuous toothed belt or a chain belt (6) and with a pertaining intermitting actuator (7) and spaced apart container carrying plates (8). The plates can be positively engaged with the containers (10, 11, 12) that are open towards the top and that arrive on the conveyor section (2). The plates supply the containers to the filling position one by one and return the containers once they are filled from the filling position to the conveying section (2), preferably in an accelerated clocked manner and optionally at the outlet thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement (1) of a conveyor section (2) for containers (A, B, C, D, E) which are conveyed on said conveyor section and which are to be filled with items (3) or with a bulk material through a filling funnel (5), at a filing station (4). The containers are arranged in a filling position. According to the invention, the conveyor section (2) is configured with at least one circulating synchronous belt drive or chain drive (6) with its own intermittent actuating drive (7) and spaced-out container engagement knobs (8) in the area directly before, at and/or after the filling station (4). Said engagement knobs (8) ensure that the containers (A, B, C, D, E) arriving on the conveyor section (2) with their tops open are individually handled at a faster ate as they are moved into the filling position and, after filling, as they are moved out of the filling position, and can optionally be returned to the conveyor section (2) at the output end.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an arrangement for checking items (3) belonging to a commissioning order and transported on a conveyor path (1) with respect to product type and number of items (3) by aid of sensing devices (10) connected with a computer (4′). Here, each one of the items (3) is optically or opto-electronically, respectively, checked, optionally after having been individualized and aligned, while being transported.

Abstract: The invention relates to a commissioning system (1) with at least one high-speed automatic machine (2) which comprises at least one article shelf (3) with article shafts (4) which are adjacently and essentially vertically arranged, preferably in a slightly slanted manner, and which can be accessed from the front. Articles which are to be commissioned can be stored in said article shafts, whereby a shelf control unit (5) can travel and which is assigned to the article shelf can be positioned at each article shaft (4) and stores articles in said article shaft. According to the invention, the spatially moveable shelf control unit (5) is equipped with an article handling unit (6) which stores the articles of the same type or dimensions in a stacked manner without the use of a magazine, whereby an article stack (7) which is to be stored in. Simultaneously handled without a separate article stack magazine or receptacle by the shelf control unit.
