<p>The invention comprises a material handling device (8) and method for transferring material between locations. More specifically, the invention contains a device for placing material onto and/or removing material from a pallet. The device has a pedestal (12) with a working arm (50) pivotally connected thereto. The arm (50) is driven by a horizontal motion actuator (30). Connected to the arm (50) and actuator (30) is a cam follower (36) that is received in a cam track (39) on a cam track plate (38). The plate (38) can be removed and replaced with another plate with the cam tracks in a different arrangement. The actuator (30) moves the follower (36) along the track (39), resulting in movement of the working arm (50) along a pre-selected path. At the end of the arm (50) is a material holder (60) which has the ability to move vertically relative to the pedestal (12).</p> |
