Abstract
A device may comprise a track defining a common X-axis and first and second robots. The first robot may comprise a first X-axis driven element for movement along the track; a first Z-axis driven element, for moving parallel to a Z-axis and along the common X-axis; a first Y-axis driven element, attached to the first Z-axis driven element, for moving parallel to a Y-axis, the Z-axis and along the common X-axis. The second robot may comprise a second X-axis driven element for movement along the track; a second Z-axis driven element, for moving parallel to the Z-axis and along the common X-axis; a second Y-axis driven element, attached to the second Z-axis driven element, for moving parallel to a Y-axis, the Z-axis and along the common X-axis. The first and second robots have first and second end-effectors coupled to the first and second Y-axis drive elements, respectively.
