A pneumatically-powered loading unit for use with an industrial robot comprises a transfer arm driven pneumatically for effecting a reciprocal movement in a space between a first cylinder which is fixed and hollow and a second cylinder which is rotatable. The transfer arm has a portion engaging with the second cylinder thereby to rotate in response to the rotation of the second cylinder. The loading unit further comprises a manipulator for effecting a gripping movement, thus providing three fundamental movements, reciprocating, rotating and gripping movements with a simple and compact construction. |
