ABSTRACT

A tilting device for a conveying system in a picking facility and method for
tilting packages. Packages, conveyed from a conveying inlet to a conveying
outlet, are tiltable. The tilting device includes an inlet and outlet, a first
limb connected to the inlet and outlet, and a second limb connected to the
outlet. The limbs include conveying drives actuatable independently of one
another to convey packages along a conveying direction, and tilting drives
actuatable independently of one another to pivot the limbs about a pivot axis.
The pivot axis is oriented crosswise to the conveying direction so a package
conveyed onto the tilting device via the inlet can, depending on its
orientation, be ejected without a change in orientation, or can be tilted from
the first limb onto the second limb by actuation of the tilting drives to be
ejected.
