Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0001601A1] An apparatus for changing the orientation of an article is provided which comprises a first rotational axis (2), a first article location (34) whereat the article has a first article orientation, and a second article location (34) whereat the article has a second article orientation. A platform (30) is provided having a surface adapted to receive the article adjacent the first article location and to discharge the article at the second article location. The platform is arranged at a first radial distance from the first rotational axis at the first article location and at a second radial distance from the first rotational axis at the second article location. The platform is adapted to rotate about the first (Z) and second rotational axes (S2) to move from the first article location to the second article location, wherein the second rotational axis also rotates about the first rotational axis as the platform moves from the first article location to the second article location.
