Claims35
A sorting method for sorting plate-shaped elements, having the following method steps:
- a) unsortedly, or randomly, filling compartmented frames of a receiving station with the plate-shaped elements,
- b) transporting the compartmented frames filled with the unsorted plate-shaped elements to a separate sorting station, and queueing the compartmented frames into a sorting station compartmented frame row,
- c) sorting the plate-shaped elements in the separate sorting station from the compartmented frames filled with the unsorted plate-shaped elements into other compartmented frames of the separate sorting station, using at least one sorting shuttle that travels back and forth outside the compartmented frames parallel to the sorting station compartmented frame row.
