Abstract

A cartesian robot is described for transferring objects successively from a first horizontal surface, the robot comprising: a support beam horizontally (4) disposed above said surfaces, at least one travelling beam (5) extending from support beam (4) for movement there along, the at least one travelling beam (5) carrying a magnetic track on which is mounted by non-contact bearings at least one shuttle (7) for movement along said track and gripping means (9) mounted on said shuttle (7), operating means for operating said gripping means (9) to grasp an object on said first surface and control means to cause said shuttle and travelling beam to move to a desired position above the second surface and cause the gripping means to release to transfer said object.
