Abstract (en)

There is described a method of docking a modular operative group (4, 4') to a carousel (3) of an articlehandling machine (1), comprising the step i) of arranging modular operative group (4, 4') in a fully docked position, in which first docking means (40, 49) carried by modular operative group (4, 4') and second docking means (5, 48) carried by carousel (3) are firmly blocked with respect to one another; ii) arranging modular operative group (4, 4') in a pre-docked position, in which first docking means (40, 49) and second docking means (5, 48) cooperate with one another and can tilt with respect to one another about an axis (H) integral with carousel (3); and iii) rotating modular operative group (4, 4') about axis (H) from a first angular position assumed in pre-docked position to a second angular position assumed in fully docked position, so as to cause the relative movement of first docking means (40, 49) and second docking means (5, 48) up to when they are firmly blocked with respect to one another and modular operative group (4, 4') is in fully docked position.
