Patent ID: 7860610

Claim:
A handling device for handling parts and in particular sheet metal bodywork parts, comprising a carrier unit which has a coupling means for coupling to a robot arm of a robot and a plurality of operating modules each having at least one attachment interface for an attachment of an operating device, each operating module being provided with adjustment means for setting a position of the attachment interface wherein the adjustment means comprise several positioning setting drives controlled by electrical control signals from a control device, such setting drives rendering possible shifting the attachment interface in the x, y and z directions of a cartesian coordinate system spanning the x, y and z coordinates, the positioning setting drives being so designed that the attachment interface is able to be positioned in a desired target position by motion in at least one of the x, y or direction, and wherein the positioning setting drives of each operating module are so designed that the attachment interface of a respective operating module may be positioned independently from the attachment interfaces of the other operating modules to the desired target position.
