Abstract

A method moves a stack of products by a robot. The robot has an articulated arm and at least one gripper disposed on the articulated arm to grip the stack of printed products and the stack of products selectively being turned. The method includes pivoting the stack of products through an effective angle α< >180° and subsequently pivoting the stack through an effective angle α=180°−αor pivoting the stack back through an effective angle α. This method of moving stacks of products is performed in an automated way and in particular of depositing them in a turned or unturned arrangement.
