Abstract

A movement apparatus for industrial automation, in particular for handling a workpiece, including: a fluidic actuator to which a pressurised fluid can be applied, with a actuator element, and a pressurised fluid provision device which is designed to apply the pressurised fluid to the fluidic actuator according to a control signal, in order to move the actuator element into a predefined position. The pressurised fluid provision device is designed to, whilst the actuator element is in movement to the predefined position, successively change a pressure of the pressurised fluid and/or a throttle opening which is used for providing the pressurised fluid, according to a predefined value course, in order to adapt the movement of the actuator element.
