  • Patent number: 7513087
    Abstract: A packaging system is disclosed that packages a product by supplying the product onto a lifter by means of a supply device, pushing the product on the lifter up to a packaging station, and covering the top surface of the product with a film. The packaging system includes a conveying unit that contacts the rear end in the conveying direction of the product on the supply device and configured to convey the product onto the lifter, a detection unit configured to determine the amount of misalignment of the product in the conveying direction and/or the width direction that is orthogonal to the conveying direction, while the product is being conveyed by the conveying unit, and a control unit configured to control the devices in the system to perform in accordance with the amount of misalignment.
