Abstract
A device comprises an assembly for attaching to and moving on the production line. The attachment and movement assembly comprises at least two clamps that can be actuated selectively to clamp the production line, the attachment and movement assembly comprising an active mechanism for moving the clamps longitudinally relative to each other. The attachment and movement assembly comprises a tilting mechanism for tilting the clamps relative to each other, between a position in which they are parallel to each other and a position in which they are tilted with respect to each other. The tilting mechanism comprises a flexion bar capable of switching from a straight configuration in the parallel position of the clamps to a curved configuration in the tilted position of the clamps.
