Abstract

A robotic unit with a picker (18) serves for handling data media in a storage device. The robotic unit can be traversed with a base plate (24) on a guide bar (16). On the base plate (24) a rotary plate (28) is disposed which can be turned about a vertical axis. On the rotary plate (28) two motors (52, 56) are disposed, each of which causes, via a toothed wheel drive, the translational and the turning movement of the robotic unit. The toothed wheel drives (48, 50, 54, 58) are disposed in a common plane in an indented recess (46) of the base plate (24).
