  • Such devices are known from EP-A-0 628 505 and are suitable for being arranged in a stack or products delivered in scale form individually using the absorbing devices mentioned and the absorbed products to hand over to grippers, who then grasp the gripped products Carry out further processing.
  • Each of the suction organs Always pass the gripper exactly one product, so that it is the one named Device allows to take the products individually and them to be fed individually for further processing.
  • An object of the invention is that described above Develop devices in such a way that with economically justifiable Effort on the one hand increases the security of an error-free Acceptance and delivery of the products can be guaranteed and on the other hand an increase in the speed of recording and Transfer process becomes possible.
  • this object is achieved in that the from the swivel axes of the suction heads in the pick-up and transfer area, the path along or parallel to the gripper conveyor line.
  • suction organs and grippers during the process of receiving and transferring products uniformly along an at least largely common trajectory forth.
  • This has compared to known devices in which suction elements and grippers during the pick-up and transfer process move on different trajectories, the advantage that no relative movements caused by different trajectory curves occur between suction elements and grippers, so that the invention corresponding to each other at the same speed Suction elements and grippers with trajectory curves with their base or Carrier units are arranged largely stationary to one another.
  • the length of the along or parallel to the gripper conveyor line running section of the suction member conveyor line so is dimensioned that at least two successive grippers in this Find a section.
  • the gripper conveyor line and the suction element conveyor line can in Pick-up and transfer area, for example on concentric circular paths run. This enables an easy funding opportunity for Suction elements and grippers, since in both cases a drive by means of or several transport wheels is possible.
  • Grippers and a suction element are assigned to each other.
  • the gripper corresponds to the distance between two successive suction elements. So a gripper and a suction element with optimized Distance from each other the receiving and transfer area on their go through corresponding trajectories, which in terms of the overall arrangement to be operated mechanical effort minimized and the correctness and speed of the recording and transfer process optimized.
  • the suction member conveyor section and the gripper conveyor section preferably run in the receiving and transfer area approximately in the middle, in particular centered over the products to be picked up. This ensures that laterally next to the products to be picked up and picked up no mechanical devices have to be provided.
  • suction elements and grippers can be conveyed by a transport wheel in the receiving and transfer area. It is also possible to provide only a single transport wheel, which conveys both the suction elements and the grippers in the receiving and transfer area.
  • the grippers are conveyed by means of a separate or common transport wheel, they can either be releasably or non-releasably coupled to the transport wheel during transport. If the coupling cannot be detached, the grippers generally describe a circular path around the transport wheel, a section of this circular path forming the receiving and transfer area. In another section of the circular path, the products previously transferred to the grippers are then delivered to a downstream conveying device or any other processing station.
  • the grippers can leave the circular path of the transport wheel after picking up a product in order to convey the picked products into an area spaced apart from the transport wheel.
  • the grippers are preferably coupled to a conveying means which runs in the receiving and transfer area along the corresponding section of the transport wheel.
  • the suction elements are each pivotable between one Pick-up and a transfer position on the suction organ transport wheel or on the respectively assigned base or carrier unit, which in turn is firmly coupled to the transport wheel, are held.
  • the suction elements can be swiveled during recording and
  • the transfer process can be controlled in such a way that between the suction element and the associated gripper creates a relative movement, which is why ensures that a sucked product is handed over to the gripper.
  • the suction elements are in their transfer position effective leadership means for a defined leadership not product held by suction between the guide means and have a back pressure device.
  • This leadership tool is used for the already picked up and transferred to a gripper Products defined according to their pick-up and transfer process and ensure that the section of the product that is not held by a gripper, not uncontrolled can move and also preferably not with one or in contact with several grippers running in the conveying direction comes.
  • the interaction of the guide means with the back pressure device also make sure that on a gripper transferred products are still safely managed when the respective grippers for the purpose of further transport or further processing has already released again.
  • each associated with a suction element Gripper is designed as a pair of grippers, the suction member in the pick-up and transfer area between the two grippers of each assigned gripper pair is arranged.
