A packaging method is described in which at least one primary packaging () is inserted through a closable opening into a secondary packaging () after a handling device () has been positioned at the closable opening of the secondary packaging (). The primary packaging () is guided by the handling device () during its insertion into the opening of the secondary packaging (), and a target position of the primary packaging () is predetermined within the secondary packaging (). After insertion of the at least one primary packaging () into the secondary packaging (), the opening of the secondary packaging () is at least partially closed under the cooperation or action of the handling device (). Furthermore, a packaging module is described which is designed to perform such a packaging process.

Packaging method for packaging primary packages into secondary packages and packaging module

The present invention includes an apparatus () and a method for handling articles and comprises an upper suspension () with at least three rotatably driven positioning arms (), where the positioning arms () each comprise at least two arm sections () that are swivelable relative to each other and operated independently of one another. A manipulator () comprises one or more clamping jaws () and is mechanically coupled to the positioning arms () such the manipulator can be positioned by movement of one or more of the positioning arms (). At least one drive shaft () is linked non-rotatingly to the manipulator, such that the manipulator is rotated by movement of the at least one drive shaft (). Rotation of the at least one drive shaft () also controls the one or more clamping jaws () via the at least one actuating shaft ().
