Abstract
The invention relates to a robot cell (1) provided for use on machine tools and/or assembly machines. The robot cell (1) includes a handling device, e.g. an industrial robot (2). By means of the robot cell (1), a workpiece (4) to be processed on the machine tool or the assembly machine can be removed from an incoming transport container, pre-processed, orientated, inserted into the machine tool or assembly machine, removed from the machine tool or the assembly machine, measured and placed or stacked in an outgoing transport container. The robot cell (1) can be used on different machine tools or assembly machines. In order to facilitate operation of a robot cell (1) of this kind, the robot cell (1) can be used on the machine tool or the assembly machine without being linked or connected to the machine tool or the assembly machine, the robot cell (1) has an optics device (5), by means of which, in conjunction with reference markings on the machine tool or assembly machine, the robot cell (1) can be positioned in its operating position on the machine tool or the assembly machine, wherein by means of a control apparatus (6) and the handling device connected thereto or the industrial ro…
