Abstract
An apparatus for selective diversion of objects such as containers, packing and packing units of different mass. The apparatus has a first transport device for the objects and a diversion device for diverting predetermined objects from the first transport device onto a second transport device. The intensity with which the objects are diverted from the first transport device onto the second transport device is controlled by means of a controlled device.
Claims6
An apparatus for the selective sequential diversion of a plurality of objects of different mass, the apparatus comprising:
- a first transport device;
- a second transport device adjacent to the first;
- a diversion element capable of applying a force to divert a selected object from said first transport device onto said second transport device;
- a sensor for measuring the speed attained by the diversion element at a certain point in time after start of the diversion process;
- and
- a diversion element controller which is connected to the sensor and selects one of the force with which and the time period during which the diversion element diverts the selected object from the first transport device to the second transport device based upon the measured speed.
