A handling device for handling products that are conveyed by a transport device, the handling device including at least one handling unit having a plurality of movably supported movement carriages, and a plurality of handling elements that are embodied as vacuum grippers. The plurality of handling elements move relative to the movement carriages in each case at least substantially parallel to a product support surface of the transport device.

Handling device and method for handling products, in particular food, being conveyed by means of a transport device

The invention is based on a device for aligning products (), more particularly products moved by means of a transport device (), more particularly to form rows and/or groups of the products () running transverse to a main transport direction () of the transport device (), having at least one aligning unit () having at least one alignment element () that can be introduced into a gap that exists, more particularly along the main transport direction (), between at least two of the products () in order to align the products (), and having at least one straightening drive unit (), more particularly a linear drive unit, at least to drive the at least one alignment element (), said straightening drive unit having at least one movement element () that can be driven in an individually speed- and/or position-controlled manner, on which movement element the at least one alignment element () is arranged. The invention proposes that the at least one alignment unit () can be actively moved relative to the at least one movement element () by means of an interaction with an activation unit () of the alignment unit (), said activation unit more particularly having a different design from a further movement element () of the alignment drive unit (), or that the alignment unit is arranged in an at least substantially non-movable manner on the at least one movement element ().

Device for aligning products, more particularly for forming rows and/or groups of the products

A transport device for transporting at least one product (), with at least one guide unit (), with at least one conveyor unit (), which has at least one continuous conveyor unit () mounted movably relative to the guide unit (), which comprises at least one movably mounted conveyor element (), and at least one further movably mounted conveyor element (), which are connected to each other to form the continuous conveyor unit () and are at least jointly movable relative to the guide unit (), and with at least one conveyor drive unit () for driving the continuous conveyor unit () relative to the guide unit (), in particular for driving the continuous conveyor unit () in rotation about the guide unit ().

Transport device for transporting at least one product, in particular for forming rows and/or groups of products

A transporting arrangement () includes at least one guide system having a fixed guide rail () and supporting elements () which are guided on the guide rail (), in particular ones designed in the form of rollers and/or sliders, also comprising at least one transporting unit (), which can be moved in a movement direction () and on which the supporting elements are fastened, wherein the transporting unit () is guided on the guide rail () by the supporting elements (), and further comprising a linear motor drive arrangement having a fixed stator unit () and at least one magnetic element (), in particular a permanent magnet, on the transporting unit (), wherein a vertical guide plane () is defined, this running parallel to the movement direction () and through the center of the guide system, wherein a vertical motor plane () is defined, this running parallel to the movement direction () and through the center of the linear motor drive arrangement, and wherein a basic body () of the transporting unit () is arranged between the guide plane () and the motor plane ().

Transporting arrangement

A feeding device for feeding products (-) and/or stacks of products (-) to a packaging process of a packaging machine (-), in particular of a horizontal tube packaging machine, comprises a guide unit (-) which is disposed as a closed loop (-) and on which a plurality of arranged conveyor elements (-) are arranged so as to be drivable mutually independently in a speed- and/or position-controlled manner at least along at least one working section (--) of the guide unit (--). At least one conveyor element (-) has a holder (-), and at least one conveyor element (-) that follows contrary to a conveying direction (-) has a counter holder (-).
