Abstract
A method and a device for the conveyance of planar products ('), in particular printed products, are provided wherein a product group () composed of at least two products (′) is gripped by a gripper () in the area of a product edge (′) and conveyed in a direction of conveyance (F). At least one of the products (′) is displaced relative to the other product or products (′) in the product group () in a direction of displacement (A) defined by the gripped product edge (′), such that in each case a projection () is formed in the direction of displacement (A). Thus a first projection () is associated with at least one displaced product (′) and a second projection () is associated with the remaining product or products (′) of the product group (). Thus, it is easy to increase the carrying capacity of a gripper conveyor and, when applicable, to easily separate the products that are gripped in groups.
