  • Patent number: 10227187
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device (1) for handling individual intermediate layers (5). The method involves removing from each of at least two separate stacks of intermediate layers (7) an individual intermediate layer (5) arranged topmost on the particular stack of intermediate layers (7). The removed individual intermediate layers (5) are moved into a detection range of a sensor system (13) of its own and the particular own sensor system (13) identifying, preferably by means of optical detection, an outer edge (6) of the particular intermediate layer (5). Subsequently, the removed individual intermediate layers (5) move toward a particular target location (Z1, Z2), the particular, preferably optical detection thereby being taken into account, such that the intermediate layers (5) reach their particular target location (Z1, Z2) in a predetermined position.

  • Patent number: 8517165
    Abstract: A conveyor line (10) for the transport of articles (20, 24) in an article stream (18) from a first processing line (50) to a second processing line (52). The conveyor line (10) includes a first conveyor section (11) and a second conveyor section (12). On the first conveyor section (11) the article stream (18) is formed by at least two articles (20, 24) arranged mostly side by side, whereby the second conveyor section (12) includes at least one lane dividing plate (30) for the separation of the articles (20, 24) into at least two lanes (31). A third conveyor section (13) is arranged between the first conveyor section (11) and the second conveyor section (12), the third conveyor section (13) including multiple deflections of the articles (20, 24) along a path with multiple curves.
