System and method for ordering elements, specifically for packaging

Abstract

The invention relates to an element control system comprising at least one element source (1) comprising randomly arranged elements (erij; i = row number; j = position of the row element); a plurality of source output lines (s1, s2, s3, s4), associated with the at least one source (1); a synchronization station (2) comprising a plurality of synchronization channels (ch1, ch2, ch3, ch4) in which each source line of the plurality (s1, s2, s3, s4) can be associated with one or more of the channels of synchronization (ch1, ch2, ch3, ch4); in which at least the synchronization channels (ch1, ch2, ch3, ch4) comprise a plurality of synchronized transport means (mij) configured to support and move first groupable elements eu1ij, said synchronized transport means (mij) comprising means corresponding motorization independent of each other (mmij); a processing unit (3) configured to start and synchronize the functions of one or more of at least the source of elements (1), the plurality of source output lines (s1, s2, s3, s4) and the synchronization station (2) in which the processing unit (ue) comprises a synchronization module (37) configured to send independently to each motorization means (mmij) one of an adjustment signal (sn1) of a predefined speed (v) or stop signal (sn3). The invention further comprises a method of controlling elements describing the functions of the corresponding system.
