FIELD: manufacturing processes in radio electronics.
SUBSTANCE: method comprises steps of feeding articles onto rotary transporting surface through discrete ducts; providing zone for receiving and forming line succession of articles on radial guide; along said radial guide in fixed interval forming succession of articles of architecture composition; then receiving and transferring articles on common carrier and fixing their positions. Reception zone for forming line succession of articles of architecture composition is in the form of successive group of discrete reception zones. It is possible to realize controlled shifting of articles inside one or two discrete zones arranged along radial guide in front of respective outlets of discrete ducts for feeding article. Inside each discrete zone it is possible to change orientation of received articles. First and last discrete zones (partially or wholly) initially are arranged outside said fixed interval. Apparatus for orienting different-shape articles at transporting them includes disc having transporting surface and mounted with possibility of rotation. Cartridges with articles are arranged over said disc for successively feeding articles to respective discrete ducts whose outlets are placed successively on transporting surface. Apparatus also includes radial guide in the form of plate over which one rotating member for transferring articles is arranged. Under said plate common carrier is mounted with possibility of shifting for receiving articles of line succession. Additional guide in the form of plate having regularly arranged successive grooves is mounted with possibility of controlled shifting along said first over it or under it. Each groove is arranged in front of outlet of respective discrete duct. Lateral sides of first groove placed in central part of transporting surface and respectively lateral sides of next grooves are normal and inclined relative to first guide.
EFFECT: enhanced operational reliability, improved maintenance characteristics of apparatus.
