FIELD: radioelectronics. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices providing orientation of different-shape articles, for instance, radioelectronics components, in transportation and it can be used in small-size automatic sorting machines and at surface mounting. Proposed device contains guide arranged over transportation surface. Guide are made in form of ribs installed to form channels to receive successively arranged articles in process of their orientation. Ribs are located on transportation surface or off said surface with possibility of fixing in position relative to transportation surface. Technological capabilities of device are enlarged owing to possibility of displacement of articles along different trajectories at their orientation. EFFECT: improved reliability and speed of mounting when device is used in small-size sorting machines at surface mounted. 25 cl, 65 dwg
