System and method for aligning an object

A system for a defined aligning of at least one object,

• wherein the system comprises a control device, a detecting device, an aligning device, a guiding device and an aligning zone,
• wherein the aligning device and the guiding device are arranged at the aligning zone,
• wherein the control device is connected to the detecting device and the aligning device,
• wherein the guiding device has a predefined speed,
• wherein the aligning device comprises a linear motor with a first rotor,
• wherein a first object with a first alignment can be fed to the aligning zone,
• wherein the detecting device is configured to detect the first alignment of the first object and to transmit the first alignment to the control device,
• wherein the control device is configured to determine a first rotation angle on the basis of the first alignment of the first object and a predefined first alignment,
• wherein the control device is configured to determine a speed profile of a first translational movement of the first rotor with a first differential speed between the first rotor and the guiding device on the basis of the determined first rotation angle and the predefined speed,
• wherein the control device is configured to control the first rotor in the first translational movement on the basis of the determined speed profile,
• wherein the first rotor in interaction with the guiding device turns the first object in a first rotation about the first rotation angle to the first predefined alignment on the basis of the first differential speed,
• wherein the aligning device comprises a rotary table,
• wherein the rotary table is mounted on the first rotor rotatably about a rotary table axis,
• wherein the guiding device comprises a third rotor and a coupling means,
• wherein the coupling means mechanically couples the third rotor to the rotary table of the first rotor,
• wherein the control device is configured to determine a third speed profile for a third translational movement on the basis of the first rotation angle and the first speed profile,
• wherein the third speed profile has the differential speed, at least for a time, and
• wherein the control device is configured to control the third rotor on the basis of the third translational movement in such a way that a distance between the first rotor and the third rotor is changed on the basis of the differential speed and the changing of the distance has the effect that the coupling means turns the rotary table about the rotary table axis.

A method for operating a system,

• wherein a first object with a first alignment is fed,
• wherein the first alignment of the first object is detected and the first alignment is transmitted to a control device,
• wherein the control device determines a first rotation angle on the basis of the first alignment of the first object and a predefined first alignment,
• wherein the control device determines a speed profile of a first translational movement for a first rotor with a differential speed between the guiding device and the first rotor on the basis of the determined first rotation angle and a predefined speed of a guiding device,
• wherein the control device controls the first rotor in the first translational movement along the aligning zone on the basis of the determined speed profile, and
• wherein the first rotor in interaction with the guiding device turns the first object to the first predefined alignment in a first rotation about the first rotation angle on the basis of the differential speed.
