DEVICE FOR SELECTIVELY DISPLACING HOLDING DEVICES, AND FITTING HEAD FOR TRANSPORTING COMPONENTS

摘要

The invention relates to a device for selectively displacing at least two holding devices (110) which can be individually displaced along a z-axis by means of a central z-drive and by a selective magnetic coupling to a common lifting element (130). The exclusively magnetic coupling between the holding devices and the lifting element (130) ensures a largely bounce-free displacement of the coupled holding devices (110), during the corresponding shock-free displacement of the lifting element (130). Said coupling is especially advantageous during the transport of components as the bounce-free displacement of the holding devices (110) prevents components from falling or sliding. The invention also relates to a fitting head (200) for transporting a plurality of components, the holding devices (110) being arranged along a line or on grid points of a two-dimensional grid. Said holding devices (110) can be individually coupled to the movement of a common lifting element (130).
