A handling device for handling parts and in particular sheet metal bodywork parts, comprises a carrier unit which has a coupling means for coupling to a robot arm of a robot and a plurality of operating modules each having an attachment interface for the attachment of an operating device such as a vacuum gripper or the like, each operating module being provided with adjustment means for setting position of the attachment interface wherein the adjustment means comprise several positioning setting drives controlled by electrical control signals from a control device, such setting drives rendering possible shifting the attachment interface in the x, y and z directions of a Cartesian coordinate system spanning the x, y and z coordinates, the positioning setting drives being so designed that the attachment interface is able to be positioned in the desired target position by motion in the x, y and/or z direction.

Handling device

A drive cylinder comprising a cylinder barrel () extending between two cylinder heads (and) and a plurality of ties () distributed about the outer periphery of the cylinder barrel () and bracing the cylinder heads (and). Of these of ties at least one is constituted by a profile part () which extends in the peripheral direction () of the cylinder barrel () some distance along its outer periphery and whose profile provides means for the implementation of at least one additional function.

Working cylinder

A slide drive device has a principal housing, in which at least one actuating element able to be driven linearly is arranged. Externally on the principal housing there is a slide kinetically coupled with the actuating element. Two stroke limiting means render possible a variable preset of the two end positions of the slide and each comprise an adjustable arranged on the one part and a counter-abutment arranged opposite to same on the other part. The one adjustable abutment is arranged on the slide and the other adjustable abutment is located on the principal housing. Both abutments are provided in end regions facing in the same axial direction, on the slide and, respectively, on the principal housing.

Slide drive arrangement

A piston for a fluid power cylinder, which possesses two separate piston parts, which are detachably set together in a joint region axially with a sealing action. Each piston part has a rigid carrying element, which is molded on a holding portion, which in its radially outer region has a lip seal comprising sealing material with rubber-elastic properties and serving for sealing on a piston running face. The respective lip seal and the holding portion associated with same are constituted by components of an integral elastic body comprising a sealing material with rubber-elastic properties. Such elastic body is molded on the respectively associated carrying element. The two elastic bodies are in sealing contact with one another in the joint zone.
