- the detachable attachment can be meeting appropriate handle provided recording to be connected to a main body of the respective coupling part.
- the arrangement may advantageously be such that the main strand is arranged with its first free end respectively first coupling part on the first arm part and with its other free end and second coupling part on the last arm part of the handling arm, wherein the first coupling part the feeding of energy and the second coupling part is for delivering the input energy.
- the energy fed in may be electrical energy in the form of drive energy and / or control and / or sensor signals as well as pneumatic and / or hydraulic pressure energy.
- the first arm part can advantageously be arranged pivotably on a pedestal, the last arm part of the handling arm having a handling or processing unit to be supplied with energy.
- the sheath of the main strand as the individual supply strands, flexibly formed and follows each intended movement of the arm of the handling arm, so that it ensures especially in the extended state of the handling and parallel to this running the power supply and feed ,
- the sheath may be formed by a plastic corrugated pipe.
- the arrangement may be such that except for the two coupling parts with their recordings of the main strand is arranged freely movable along the outside of the arm parts, which extends along a plane of movement thereof.
- arm parts of the main strand undergoes a maximum deflection at the respective hinge point, in which the deflection of the adjacent strand parts of the main strand with inclusion of the respective coupling part, kink-free in abutment with each other can be brought.
- the respective receptacle for a coupling part of the main strand on a standardized connection device which is connectable to an associated receiving device on one of the arm parts in a detachable manner again, the arrangement being such that all eincicbaren main strands, even with mutually different configuration to be determined on the respective arm part via the standardized connection device.
- the subject matter of the invention is also a supply device with individual flexibly formed supply lines which serve to supply electrical and / or fluidic energy, wherein the supply device is provided in particular for a movable arm of a handling system according to one of claims 1 to 7 and the features of Patent claim 8.
- Fig. 1 is a schematically simplified side view of a
- Embodiment of the handling system according to the invention and a schematically simplified drawn perspective oblique view of the embodiment, as seen on the end of the last arm portion of the handling arm.
- a device base of the embodiment is designated 2, which is anchored to a floor surface for stationary application of the system.
- a handling arm designated as a whole by 4 is rotatably mounted about a vertical axis through 360 ° in the manner customary in such systems.
- the handling arm 4 has two arm parts 6 and 8 in the form of profile carriers of rectangular cross-section, of which the upper, last arm part 8 at the free end 9 has an effector 10 indicated only schematically. This is in the usual manner with such manipulators manner by means of associated drive and control devices movable, wherein in the example shown a pivoting movement about a longitudinal axis of the arm 8 perpendicular to the horizontal axis is provided.
- the first, lower arm part 6 is connected to the base 2 via a hinge point 12, which has a first hinge part 14, which is rotatable about the vertical vertical axis on the base 2, and a second hinge part 16 which on the first hinge part 14 about a horizontal Axis is pivotally mounted.
- the upper end of the first arm part 6 is connected to the inner end of the last arm part 8 via a second hinge point 18 which provides for the upper, last arm part 8 a pivoting about a horizontal axis available to the longitudinal axes of both arm parts 6 and 8 runs vertically. Due to the two horizontal pivot axes of the joints 12 and 18, a vertical plane of motion is predetermined for the movements of the arm parts 6 and 8.
- the supply device which has the individual supply lines for the actuation of the effector 10, is formed in the invention by an independent structural unit, which is designed as an exchangeable exchange unit and is attached removably attached to the outside of the handling arm 4.
- the supply device has a main strand 20, in which all supply strands are combined within a flexible casing 22, which follows in its course the movements of the arm parts 6, 8 of the handling arm 4 during operation of the handling system.
- a corrugated tube made of metal or plastic is provided as the flexible sheathing 22, which enables a kink-free deflection of the strand course at the articulation points 1 2 and 18, even when the arm parts 6, 8 and the maximum deflection are completely folded abutting the deflection points adjacent strand parts of the casing 22 to each other.
- a coupling part is provided, of which a designated 26 first coupling part for the supply of energy and a second, designated 28 coupling part for the delivery of the injected energy are provided.
