Abstract: The invention relates to a device for transferring panel material in a production line, particularly for producing glass panels, solar cells, or flat glass, but also sheet metal parts or panel materials for producing furniture, plastic panels, etc. The device comprises a first arm (1) that can be driven about a first rotary axis (1A), at least one second arm (2) that can be driven about a second rotary axis (2A) mounted on the first arm (1), wherein the second rotary axis (2A) is parallel to the first rotary axis (1A), and a manipulation device (3) disposed on at least the second arm (2) that can selectively grip and release the panel material.

Abstract: In an apparatus for the transport of plates from a plate transport device to a plate storage rack or similar device, including a robotic arm having at its free end a plate engagement structure, the plate transport device is provided with a recess over which the plate can be centered and into which the plate engagement structure can be moved to engage the plate from the bottom side thereof and lift an remove the plate from the plate transport device.
