Abstract: A connection device for connecting a link of a robot arm to a joint body of the robot arm includes a connection ring connected to an outer cladding wall of a link and which has a plurality of receiving areas distributed uniformly over the circumference. Each receiving area is designed to receive an engagement element of a joint support ring in a form-fitting manner to connect the link to the joint body when the connection ring is connected to the joint support ring. The engagement elements of the joint support ring engage in the receiving areas of the connection ring in a form-fitting manner.

Abstract: A modular robot-operated handheld device includes a safety base control device arranged in a housing with an emergency-stop trigger and an approval device, as well as a first mechanical coupling formed on one end wall of the housing. A second mechanical coupling, identical to the first mechanical coupling is formed on the other end wall of the housing in such a way that a connection module to be mechanically coupled to the modular robot-operated handheld device can be optionally coupled to the first mechanical coupling on the right-hand side of the modular robot-operated handheld device, or to the second mechanical coupling on the left-hand side of the modular robot-operated handheld device. Associated connection modules can be optionally coupled to the modular robot-operated handheld device.

Abstract: A gripping tool, a gripping device, and a gripping method for reel-type and/or disk-type gripping objects, in particular SMD rolls. The gripping tool, which can be automatically handled and operated, has a frame having a connection, in particular a robot connection, and has a gripper having a controllable adjusting device, wherein the gripper is provided and designed for laterally guiding and for centrally gripping and supporting the gripped object.
