Abstract
An improved pick and place machine works together with a part holding device to pick and lift a part out of a first station, shift to a second station, descend and release the part. An unique linkage system converts simple reciprocating motion from a fluid cylinder or the like into an inverted U-shape motion, providing a smooth, controlled acceleration, deceleration motion for the holding device. The machine has a carriage which is held upright by a sliding lever and which having a box shape, rum outside of a body enabling the part holding device to be mounted on the carriage.
