Abstract: A garment hanger handling device comprising a housing and a gripping tool adapted to grip and hold a garment hanger. The gripping tool is adapted to pick up a garment hanger at a loading station, to move the garment hanger to a mounting station, and to forward the garment hanger to an unloading station. The garment hanger handling device is provided with a linear actuator adapted to move the gripping tool in a vertical direction and a rotational actuator adapted to rotate the gripping tool around a vertical axis. The gripping tool is adapted to position the garment hanger in a predefined rotational and vertical position at the mounting station in dependency of an input signal. A position where a garment is applied on a garment hanger can be adapted to the length of the operator, type of hanger, and garment. The position can be adjusted for each mounting cycle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for positioning an empty garment hanger in an individual mounting position, comprising the steps of: picking up an empty garment hanger at a loading station with a gripping tool, reading a data signal identifying a garment that is to be hung on the garment hanger, moving the empty garment hanger to a mounting station, adjusting the position of the garment hanger in dependency of the data signal, and holding the garment hanger in the individual mounting position. The advantage of the invention is that the position where a garment is applied on a garment hanger can be adapted to the length of the operator, type of hanger and type of garment, where the position can be adjusted individually for each mounting cycle.
