Handling apparatus and methods for dealing with moving one behind the other in at least one row piece goods

The invention relates to a handling device (10) for handling at least one row (1) one behind the other moving piece goods (2). Such a handling device (10) comprises at least one manipulator (5) for piece goods (2) and at least one transport means (3), via which the piece goods (2) in a detection area (4) of the at least one manipulator (5) transported. The at least one manipulator (5) for clamping and / or frictional and / or positive accepting and for separating and transferring to a target position (P1) and / or orientation of at least one piece good (2) consists of (by means of the at least one transport means 3) (in its detecting region 4) transported row (1) is formed. For this purpose, the manipulator (5) comprises at least one means for clamping and / or frictional and / or positive accepting at least one piece good (2) and at least one on the manipulator (5) arranged detecting means (13) for detecting spatial coordinates and / or position and / or outline data of a within the detection region (4) of the at least one manipulator moving (5) the piece goods. The invention further relates to a method for handling at least one row (1) one behind the other moving piece goods (2).
