While the timing correction and the collapse of the load are carried out, they are sent to the boxing device D, and all the operations until they are packed in the box 49 in the boxing device D are automatically performed.

[0044]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects. It was difficult to automate the integrated work from the collection work of the packed CDs to the packaging work for the following reason. (1) Automatically stacking CDs supplied from multiple packaging lines, transporting the CD stacks to one packing device while correcting the collapse of the load, and packing the CD stacks in the packing device. You can Therefore, the conventional manual work becomes unnecessary and the efficiency is improved, resulting in a system with extremely high investment efficiency. (2) Since the collapse of the load during transportation is prevented, a stacking device is installed on each of multiple packaging lines, and the CD stacks transported from each stacking device are processed by one boxing device with high processing capacity. Since it is possible to perform full operation with the operating rate of each device almost evenly, the line balance of the entire system is good. (3) The packaging surface of the CD is very smooth and there is a problem that it is difficult to carry because the load collapse easily occurs. However, since the load collapse during the transfer is corrected, such a problem does not occur. (4) Since the tray does not have to be used to convey the CD stack, a tray supply device and a tray collection device are not required, and C
There is an advantage that the whole D stacking / packing system is not complicated.
