  • Device and method configured to control rotation of an object on a carrier
    Patent number: 10569966
    Abstract: A device includes a carrier to carry and transport rectangular objects in a transport direction; a meter to measure a dimension of the object and/or measure a spacing between successive objects; and a controller to rotate at least one object and/or adjust said spacing. The meter can measure an outer dimension of a side surface of the object. The controller can align the side surface in line with the transport direction. A method includes: providing at least one object; measuring a dimension of the object and/or measuring a spacing between successive objects; and rotating at least one object around an upright axis line and/or adjusting a spacing between successive objects. Measuring the dimension includes measuring an outer dimension of a side surface of the object. Rotating the at least one object around the upright axis line includes aligning the side surface in line with a transport direction of said object.
