Abstract
An apparatus and a method for handling napkins, by means of which the handling process can be made more efficient in terms of time and less expensive. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that at least one of the napkins, in particular a stack of napkins, hangs in each case over one of a number of mutually adjacent beams of a deposition device, in particular in such a way that the napkin is deposited by means of a central region, preferably by means of a center, over a beam. One significant feature consists in that, by means of at least one multi-axis robot, which has at least two gripping elements, the gripping elements can be moved in a fully automated and selective manner up to the at least one napkin, and the at least one napkin is deposited on a transport means.
