Abstract

An end effector (60) comprises a base (63), a first gripper (64) connected with the base (63) so as to swivel around a gripper axis (68), and a positioning element (66) which is guided on the base displaceably along an end effector axis (76) and interacts with the gripper (64) via a guide slot system. The gripper axis (68) extends outside of a guide slot (70) of the guide slot system.
