Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015108481A1] A method of feeding elongate objects (5) one by one from a conveyor, on which the objects (5) are conveyed with their longitudinal direction substantially transversal to the conveying direction, to a subsequent conveyor. The method comprises the steps that the elongate object (5) is detected and its position and alignment are determined and the determined alignment is compared to a predetermined positioned alignment. Control signals to a number of control drives (3) are calculated, and the object (5) is affected by the control drives to take the predetermined positioned alignment. A device for performing the method according to the above comprises detection means (2) for measuring the position of incoming objects; control drives (3) for alignment and positioning of the objects (5); and a control system for control of said control drives (3) through feed-back.
