Abstract

See full text

A method and a device for the conveyance of planar products (10, 10′, 20, 20′), in particular printed products, are provided wherein a product group (100) composed of at least two products (10, 10′, 20, 20′) is gripped by a gripper (42) in the area of a product edge (12, 12′, 22, 22′) and conveyed in a direction of conveyance (F2). At least one of the products (10, 10′, 20, 20′) is displaced relative to the other product or products (10, 10′, 20, 20′) in the product group (100) in a direction of displacement (A) defined by the gripped product edge (12, 12′, 22, 22′), such that in each case a projection (14, 24) is formed in the direction of displacement (A). Thus a first projection (14) is associated with at least one displaced product (10, 10′, 20, 20′) and a second projection (24) is associated with the remaining product or products (10, 10′, 20, 20′) of the product group (100). Thus, it is easy to increase the carrying capacity of a gripper conveyor and, when applicable, to easily separate the products that are gripped in groups.
