Abstract
A control device for activating a transverse belt () of a conveying carriage () of a transverse-belt sorter (), wherein a transverse-belt conveyor () for conveying an article in a transverse conveying direction, which is oriented substantially transversely to the conveying direction of the transverse-belt sorter (), is formed on the conveying carriage (), and wherein the transverse belt () can be driven mechanically, wherein the control device is configured so that, when the article is introduced laterally onto the transverse belt (), it activates the transverse belt () such that the article is transported to a conveying position on the transverse belt () or, when the article is discharged laterally, it activates the transverse belt () such that the article is transported in the downward direction from a conveying position on the transverse belt (); and wherein, when the article is introduced and/or discharged laterally, the control device activates the transverse belt () at least in dependence on a mass of the article.
