Abstract
The invention relates to a device and a method for sorting objects on a transport device. The device and the method are characterized in that first the friction between the object and the transport device is determined, and, on that foundation, the transfer of the object is then triggered.
Claims21
Method for sorting objects (3) on a transport device (2), consisting of these steps:
- determination of the friction between an object (3) and transport device (2),
- and triggering of a transfer movement (7) of the object (3) on the transport device (2) as a function of the determined friction between the object (3) and the transport device (2).
Device (1) for sorting objects (3) on a transport device (2) with:
- a friction determination device (4) for determining the friction between the object (3) and the transport device (2), and
- a transfer device (5) for transferring the object (3) onto the transport device (2) as a function of the determined friction between the object (3) and the transport device (2).
