Patent ID: 8251632

Claim:
A system for transporting planar SOFC stack, comprising: a frame, for carrying a cell stack; a robotic arm, for grabbing and holding the cell stack; and a driver, coupled to the frame and the robotic arm and being used for driving the robotic arm; wherein the robotic arm comprises: a main control, disposed at the top of the driver; a first control unit, electrically and pivotally coupled to the main control by a support shaft for controlling the plural second control units; a plurality of second control units, electrically connected to the first control unit and the main control; and a plurality of grabbing claws, provided for one second control unit selected from the plural second control units to disposed thereat while being electrically connected to the main control, the first control unit, and the corresponding second control unit; wherein, the first control unit is arranged so as to rotate about the axis of the support shaft so as to bring along the plural second control units and the plural grabbing claws to rotate in a synchronized manner; wherein, the plural second control units are provided for respectively controlling the stretching of plural grabbing claws in a synchronized manner for grabbing and releasing the cell stack.
