Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to a tooling device which for connecting to a manipulator. The device includes a base unit and at least two manipulator modules each with a first and a second end. At least one degree of freedom in movement is provided between both ends of each manipulator module. The first end is connected with the base unit and a tool interface is provided at the second end. The tool interfaces are each moveable independently of the other relative to the base unit. At least one manipulator module is linearly moveable on its first end relative to the base unit.

Abstract: A mechanical latching unit for a main drive unit includes a rolling mechanical switch within a housing, with a main roller, a counter roller, a carriage and a carriage trip/locking lever, with a first joint created between the main roller and the first end of the carriage, where by the load of the traction link of the main drive unit carried out to the main roller distributes a primary force component carried out to the counter roller and a secondary force component carried out in a direction to a second end of the carriage, where by the mechanical latching unit includes a force reduction mechanism having at least two force reduction stages, a carrier reset spring fastened to the housing which resets the carriage back to a neutral respectively blocking position, and a lever reset spring which resets the carriage trip/locking lever back to a neutral respectively blocking position.

Abstract: A positioning device includes a supporting structure, a work carrier, at least six length-adjustable struts arranged in strut pairs, each strut being moveably mounted to the supporting structure and to the work carrier and at least one drive configured to adjust a length of at least one of the struts. The struts of each strut pair are disposed parallel to each other and each strut pair has a pivot bearing disposed at a first end of each strut and a second bearing disposed at a second end of each strut.

Abstract: A jig particularly for the positioning of articles (1), with length-adjustable props (2), with a base part (3), with a receptacle (4) for the article (1), the props (2) being arranged between the base part (3) and the receptacle (4) and being in each case mounted movably there, and with a drive and control for adjusting the props (2), is specified. At least one pair of props (5) is formed from two props (2) in such a way that the two props (2) of the pair of props (5) extend parallel, thus resulting in the form of a parallelogram.

Abstract: In a device for positioning a tool in a working area wherein two spaced parallel horizontal guide tracks are provided and a guide slide is movably supported by each guide track, a coupler link is supported on each guide slide so as to be pivotable about a vertical pivot joint axis and the coupler links are joined to each other pivotably about another joint having an axis parallel to the vertical pivot joints of the coupler links, and a spindle extends from the other joint of the coupler links in alignment with the axis thereof so as to be linearly adjustable and is provided with a tool. The spindle with the tool is position-adjustable by linear movement of the guide slides along the tracks whereby the tool supported by the coupler links which are longer than the distance between the two guide tracks can cover also areas at opposite sides of the two parallel guide tracks.

Abstract: A device for positioning a tool within a predetermined working area includes two guides which are parallel to one another and run in a first coordinate direction, and on which in each case a guide slide is mounted in a longitudinally adjustable manner. The guide slides are connected by a supporting structure which carries the tool and which also permits a movement of the tool in a second coordinate direction. It is connected to the guide slides so as to be movable about in each case a first or second joint axis, respectively, parallel to a third coordinate direction. It includes two coupler links which are connected to one another by a third joint axis parallel to the first and second joint axes. Coaxially to this third joint axis, the supporting structure is provided with a spindle which carries the tool and is adjustable linearly in the direction of the third coordinate direction and independently thereof by a rotation angle about the third joint axis.
