CA 2503863

A system (20, 22) and method for manipulating articles (38) includes providing a bed (30) having at least one conveying surface. The conveying surface is adapted to move articles (38) in a direction of conveyance from an upstream end to a downstream end of the bed. At least one sensor (36, 34a, 34b, 34c) is provided to determine the position of any articles (38) on the bed (30). Selected articles are moved in the direction of conveyance at a speed that is generally higher than articles traveling on the bed that have yet to be manipulated and the articles are selectively rotated.

Ladite surface de transport est conçue pour déplacer des articles (38) dans un sens de transport allant d'une extrémité amont vers une extrémité aval du lit. Au moins un capteur (36, 34a, 34b, 34c) est fourni afin de déterminer la position des articles (38) sur le lit (30). Des articles sélectionnés sont déplacés dans le sens du transport à une vitesse généralement plus élevée que celle des articles mobiles sur le lit à manipuler, lesdits articles étant sélectivement mis en rotation.
