  • Patent number: 8588960
    Abstract: A “pick-and-place” package marshalling system uses multiple pneumatic transfer units synchronized with a packaging conveyor to marshal packets into a single-file array for shipping and to cull out empty and defective packets. The system can be employed in a blister packaging operation in place of a standard marshalling system. A pick-and-place module, comprising one or more pairs of pneumatic transfer units, lifts packets off the conveyor at a pick station, marshalls them into a single-file array, carries the packets above the conveyor to a downstream place station, and pneumatically deposits the packets there.
