An alignment device is proposed. The device aligns stick packaging products packed in a stick packaging machine, transfers the stick packaging products to a packaging device, and simultaneously checks a weight, thus automatically sorting the stick packaging products into normal and defective products. A separate weight sorting device is not required, so that a stick packaging machine may be installed in a low height, and cost for purchasing and maintaining the device may be reduced. Furthermore, respective rows are individually controlled, thus facilitating independent weight checking and defective-product sorting. It is possible to individually sort defective products and then entirely sort remaining normal products, thus preventing the normal and defective products from coexisting, and it is possible to realize an automated packing operation for normal products and the automation of a succeeding line, and to count and pack an exact quantity of products.
