The invention in question concerns a linear, module assembled, flexible automatic handling machine with pick up and/or placing capability, especially for the handling of work pieces between process stations and involving a number of line tools (15), each equipped with at least one movable carrier (16) between two end points. The line tools (15) are, with the exception of the first and the last, connected to each other via their respective carriers (16), whereby each carrier (16) is movable in a linear direction from a mutual point centred between the end points to the maximal end position on each side of the middle point. The aim of the invention in question is to produce a handling machine which can work in narrow spaces between two manufacturing machines which leave almost no swing room, and with a high positioning and repetition exactitude. It should be able to cover relatively large distances between the machines. It should be simple to adjust for other production units and other moving parts, and it should comprise of simple standard modules. These demands have been solved by the line tools (15), designed as mechanical drive elements, each comprising a continuous belt, chain or the like (22) supported by a platform (24) arranged on a belt wheel (23). The first drive element's (15a) belt (22 a), via a primary carrier (16a), is fastened to another drive element's (15b) platform (24b) whose belt (22b), partly via other carriers (16b), is fastened to the first drive element's (15a) platform (24a), and partly via a third carrier (16e), to a third drive element's (15c) platform (24c) whose belt (22c), in its turn, via a fourth carrier (16d) is connected partly by the second drive element's (15b) platform (24b), and/or via a fifth carrier (16e), to a grip tool (17), or similar tool, for the next belt if further drive element's are to hand.<IMAGE> |
