Abstract
The invention refers to a manipulating device, particularly for industrial obots, comprising an articulated gripping arm located and extending from a support, of the kind in which the articulated gripping arm comprises a lever system with at least a first, a second and a third member pivotally connected with the pivot axes parallel to each other, the first member being pivotally connected at the support. Such manipulating devices are equipped with at least two drive units to move a driven member to a predetermined angular relationship with respect to a preceding member or to the support as the case may be. A gripper or tool is located at the free end of the last (outermost) member. The invention particularly concerns manipulating devices for the purposes of the watch industry where relatively small parts must be precisely manipulated.
