Abstract

A process and a device is provided for the positioning of bobbins which are delivered by a conveying device and are tilted from a conveyed position into a position from which they can be picked up by a grasper. Provisions are made for the bobbins to be brought into the desired position for pickup by the grasper. For this, further provisions are made for the tilting action to be triggered by the bobbin which is running up against a tilting surface and for the bobbin to be brought up against a stop so that the predetermined position is achieved.
