20090101477 | Method and apparatus for the controlled transfer of unit loads - The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for the controlled transfer of unit loads from a first conveyor onto a second conveyor which is partially projected over by the first conveyor, the transport directions of which conveyors run at an angle with respect to each other. In order to permit controlled transfer of the unit loads in a defined position from the first conveyor onto the second conveyor, it is proposed that a negative pressure which acts on the upper side of the conveyor belt of the second conveyor can be generated below the first conveyor in the transfer region onto the second conveyor. | 04-23-2009 |
20090127074 | Conveying device comprising at least one slide for piece goods, and method for stacking piece goods in a container - The invention comprises a conveying device for mail piece goods, and a method for the automatic oriented placement of such piece goods in a container. The piece goods are discharged individually into the container via a slide. The slide is has two rolls in the region of the lower planar section of the conveying area. The rolls are power-operated at speeds that are different from each other, have a great section of the conveying area. The rolls are power-operated at speeds that are different from each other, have a great coefficient of friction on the surface thereof, and provide the piece goods with a defined speed in order for the piece goods to be dropped into the container in a targeted manner, be oriented properly, and be stacked. The closer one roll lies to the discharge end, the greater the speed of said roll is selected relative to another roll. | 05-21-2009 |
20090242465 | Method and arrangement for synchronizing the distribution information of sorting stock with the information relating to a sorter element loaded with this sorting stock - A method and an arrangement for synchronizing distribution information of a sorting stock are disclosed. The sorting stock has information relating to a sorter element of a sorter loaded with the sorting stock. The sorter element is moved, together with a plurality of further sorter elements, on a path closed on itself past a laying-down station where the sorting stock is laid onto the support of this sorter element. The occupancy of the sorter element is recognized by an image comparison and the information known before the laying-down relating to the sorting stock is assigned unequivocally to the sorter element recognized as fed. | 10-01-2009 |
20090287346 | Drive for the Cross Belt of a Cross Belt Sorter - A cross belt sorter is provided for transporting and sorting piece goods, composed of a plurality of sorter elements which are moved on a conveyor track and which are coupled to form a train or can be moved individually and which are in each case provided with a cross belt which circulates continuously around deflection rollers and can be driven transversely with respect to the transport direction of the sorter elements and on which the piece goods can be transported in a resting position and loaded and/or unloaded at fixed loading and/or unloading locations, for which purpose at least one deflection roller of the cross belt corresponds to a drive. The drive of the at least one deflection roller for the cross belt be provided by means of a barrel motor which is arranged within the deflection roller. | 11-19-2009 |
20090289777 | Arrangement for Increasing the Reading and Writing Integrity of RFID Labels - An arrangement is provided for increasing the reading and writing integrity of RFID labels which are fastened, in particular, to piece goods of the type which lie on a flat support by way of at least one preferably flat supporting side which forms a possible fastening plane for the RFID labels, such as a parallelepiped-shaped piece good or the like. In order to ensure inexpensively and simply the predominantly automatic reading and writing of the RFID label irrespective of the position and orientation of the piece good on its support, it is proposed that the RFID label is arranged in at least two adjacent planes of the piece good which differ from one another, to which end the label is bent out of a first fastening plane about at least one edge of the piece good, which edge delimits the possible supporting side, into at least one second fastening plane. | 11-26-2009 |
20100140053 | SPACE-SAVING SORTING PLANT AND METHOD FOR SORTING ARTICLES - A sorting plant and method for sorting articles, especially flat mail consignments, include a conveying device, a transfer mechanism and at least one reception device. A conveying transport mechanism of the conveying device transports an article along a conveyor track. The reception device has a plurality of reception components for at least one respective article and a reception transport mechanism. The reception transport mechanism moves the reception components along a reception component track and simultaneously brings one respective reception component of the reception device into a transfer position. The reception component track has a reception segment proceeding vertically or obliquely from the top downward. The transfer mechanism brings an article from the conveying device into one of the reception devices when the article is located at a transfer point on the conveyor track and when this reception component is located in a transfer position with respect to the transfer point. | 06-10-2010 |
20100213031 | SORTING SYSTEM FOR SORTING BULK GOODS - A sorting system for sorting bulk goods is disclosed. A plurality of sorter elements are guided in a contactless manner along a horizontal track of a stationary guideway. The sorter elements being driven in a contactless manner in the direction of transport. One bulk good is transported on each sorter element, either on one at a time or resting on several sorter elements, from a loading point to an unloading point, where it is loaded and/or unloaded transversally to the direction of transport. The sorter elements carry the load in a suspended manner. | 08-26-2010 |
20120224939 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE CONTROLLED EMPTYING OF A TRANSPORT CONTAINER HOLDING PIECE GOODS - A method and a device for the automated emptying of packets and packages or similar piece goods from a collection or transport container holding the piece goods. The container is pivotable to this end by way of a tipping device at least temporarily holding the container, according to a defined motion schema, into an emptying position. In order to provide an effective, automated solution for gently emptying packets and packages or similar piece goods from collection or transport containers, allowing for simultaneous minimizing of the damage occurring at low cycle times, the collection or transport container is tipped out, wherein the motion schema and thus the tipping procedure of the collection or transport container can be accelerated or decelerated as a function of the current emptying procedure and/or considering the speed and/or amount of the tipped-out piece goods. | 09-06-2012 |
