<p>The present invention relates to a method for rapid transfer of a work object, using a robot unit (110) having a gripping mechanism (50) adapted to carry a gripping unit (70) to hold a work piece (102), preferably from one workstation (P1) to another (P2), the transfer in the horizontal direction being at least one metre and at least partially being effected along an essentially horizontally extending beam unit (120), and the gripping mechanism (50) being arranged at an end of a vertical beam (122) movably arranged on said horizontally extending beam unit (120), in such a way that, it can collect and/or deliver a work object (102) in a position (E2, F2) situated beyond the end position (E1, F1) of the robot unit (110) on said horizontal beam (120), which robot unit is controlled by means of a control unit (150) and is driven by means of at least one belt member (124) and motors (126, 127) comprising rotor units connected to drive wheels (126A, 127A) for the said belt member (124), the said motors (126, 127) being immovably arranged in relation to the said workstations (P1, P2) and the transfer of the work object (102) being effected without displacement of the said motors (126, 127), wherein that the gripping mechanism (50) includes an arrangement of pivoting arms (20, 30) interconnected to facilitate said gripping unit to collect and/or deliver a work object in a position (E2, F2) situated beyond said end position (E1, F1).</p> |
