Abstract
A manipulation device for manipulating and/or processing a workpiece includes a first motion unit for generating a linear motion of a first component and a second motion unit for generating a linear motion of a second component. The motion units are arranged relative to each other such that the motions that can be generated by the motion units are aligned parallel to each other. The first and second components are connected via first and second hinge joints, respectively, to a fastening element that is suitable for receiving a workpiece and/or a tool. The first and second hinge joints comprise first and second guide arms, respectively, which are coupled to the first and second components, respectively, via revolute joints. The first and second guide arms are coupled directly or indirectly to each other by at least one revolute joint so as to be pivotable relative to each other.
