摘要 |
The invention relates to a transport and gripping device (10) for transporting workpieces (40) to and from a processing device (20). Said transport and gripping device comprises a gripping mechanism (50, 52) for gripping the workpiece (40); a device for moving the workpiece in the longitudinal direction thereof by displacement of said transport and gripping device; a device for turning the workpiece parallel to the direction of gripping; and a device for rotating the workpiece about the lateral axis thereof. Said transport and gripping device also comprises an arm (32, 32a), the gripper (38, 50, 52) being attached to the distal end thereof. Said device used to move the workpiece in a longitudinal direction (40) is embodied in such a way that the arm (32, 32a) is moved in a substantially transversal manner across the longitudinal side thereof. The device used to turn the workpiece (40) parallel to the direction of gripping is embodied in such a way that the arm (32, 32a) is rotated on its proximal end. The device for rotating the workpiece about its lateral axis (40) is embodied in such a way that the arm can rotate about itself.
