APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GRIPPING, HOLDING AND RELEASING OBJECTS THAT CAN BE PENETRATED

摘要

The present invention concerns an apparatus for gripping, holding and releasing objects (30) that can be penetrated. The apparatus includes at least two needles (1, 2) with a central axis in the longitudinal direction of the needle placed at a distance from each other. At least one drive unit is connected to the needles (1, 2) for driving these between an extended and a retracted position. At least one of the central axes of the needles forms a part of a circle when this needle is in an extended position. Furthermore it is described a method to grip, hold and release objects (30) that can be penetrated.
