摘要

The invention relates to a handling device (1) and a method for picking up flat articles. The handling device (1) comprises a plurality of radial arms (3), each having at least one suction head (6) for gripping the flat article. The handling device further comprises a central flange section (4) from which the plurality of radial arms (3) extend away in different directions and which has a supporting function for the plurality of radial arms (3). The central flange section (4) comprises a conduit system which is fluidically connected to the suction heads (6) in order to transmit a negative pressure onto the suction heads (6) of the plurality of radial arms (3).
