A robotic arm ( 10 ) for use with a pharmaceutical unit of use transport and storage system ( 200 ) comprises a base plate ( 14 ) with a first cam track segment ( 16 ) and a second cam track segment ( 18 ). A first arm segment ( 20 ) is rotatably attached to the base plate ( 14 ) and a second arm segment ( 26 ) is rotatably attached to the first arm segment ( 20 ) and includes a cam track follower ( 110 ) that engages with the first and second cam track segments ( 16, 18 ) to guide the movement of the second arm segment ( 26 ). A platform ( 36 ) is secured to an end of the second arm segment ( 26 ) and is adapted to engage a product ( 214 ). A series of orientation sprockets ( 102, 124, 126, 142 ) and drive chains ( 148, 150 ) cooperate to maintain the platform ( 36 ) rearwardly oriented as the arm ( 10 ) extends from a retracted position to an extended position. |
