The invention relates to a handling device or layer forming device () and a method for forming piece good layers. Piece goods () are conveyed on a horizontal conveying device () to a grouping station and/or layer forming station () comprising a manipulator (). In a work cycle, the manipulator () seizes at least one piece good () and moves it into a target position or target alignment, in particular with regard to a piece good layer to be formed. The horizontal conveying device (), which is arranged upstream of the grouping station and layer forming station (), comprises at least one sensor device () for obtaining positional data or dimensional data or alignment data of the transported piece goods (). Based on the obtained data, the control device () controls the movements of the manipulator () within the movement range for the purpose of the layer formation.

Device and method for the treatment and/or handling of piece goods moved in at least one row

Provided is an apparatus for transporting objects and in particular containers and/or liquid containers with a first conveyor device which is arranged at least temporarily below the objects to be conveyed and which conveys the objects, wherein the conveyor device includes a point device, and a feed section which conveys the objects to the point device, and wherein the objects are selectively conveyable along at least a first discharge section and a second discharge section by the point device, wherein the feed section extends substantially rectilinearly and wherein the first discharge section follows the feed section in a rectilinear manner and the second discharge section deviates from the rectilinear course of the feed section, and wherein the apparatus includes a selection tool for selectively conveying the objects onto the first discharge section or the second discharge section.

Apparatus and method for transporting containers

A guide arrangement for guiding moving containers, includes at least one guide element which extends in a predefined extension direction at least in some sections along the transport path of the containers, and at least one holding device which holds the guide element at a predetermined position relative to the transport path. The holding device has a clamp element which clamps the guide element, wherein the clamp element bears against the guide element in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction, and the guide element has in its cross-section two holding sections and a wall section which is formed between these holding sections and in one piece with these holding sections, wherein these holding sections are curved at least by 90&#xb0; and an outer circumference of the holding sections is in contact with the clamp element at least in some sections, and the guide element has a recess which is formed by the wall section and the hold sections and by which a further guide device can be held.
