Abstract
A device (10) for feeding bulk material items (12) from a mass multiply arranged one above the other in a store (14) into a randomly re-alignable, individually distributed and disentangled position within the reach of a robot (18) comprises a substantially horizontally arranged oscillating conveyor surface (16) with first apparatus (58, 60) for the forward feed or reverse transport of the bulk material items (12) in the x-direction or in the x- and y-direction of the space coordinates and a second apparatus (62) for exciting an oscillation of the oscillating conveyor surface (16) in the z-direction of the space coordinates.
