Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shock absorber for coordinating a plurality of products, having random variations in the arrangement of the products. SOLUTION: This collecting shock absorber is provided with a suction rail 230 which receives a plurality of products having the random variation to the arrangement, a product follower 232 loaded so as to reciprocatingly move along the rail, a driving mechanism for making the product follower reciprocate along the rail and a sensor 238 made to generate signals to the driving mechanism. The suction rail is provided with a vacuum chamber, an input end and an output end, and the vacuum chamber has at least one opening capable of gripping the product, arranged on the rail by vacuum absorption lightly. The product follower is made to reciprocate, from the input end to the output end of the suction rail and is used to collect, by sliding the product arranged on the rail. The sensor is used to generate the signals for reciprocating the product follower to an input position, by detecting the presence of the product in the output end of the rail.
