Abstract
A method for rejecting an article from a sequence of transported articles, wherein the establishment of a first contact between a pusher and the article to be rejected is detected by at least one measurement signal, and wherein a desired stroke is carried out for diverting the article, starting from the detected contact. Errors regarding a different lateral offset of the articles to be rejected and blind strokes caused thereby can thus be reduced.
Claims12
A method for rejecting an article, particularly a bottle, from a sequence of articles by means of a pusher from a conveyor belt, wherein a measurement signal for detecting a first contact between the pusher and the article to be rejected is monitored and the pusher carries out a desired stroke, starting from the first contact, and wherein the measurement signal is evaluated at periodically repeated intervals and the start of the desired stroke is initiated within not more than 2 ms after detection of the first contact.
