Abstract
A handling system includes a tube lifter with a lifting tube having a tube interior, and an end effector mounted on the lifting tube and rotatable about an end effector axis of rotation, a manipulator for displacing the end effector, and a coupling device for coupling the tube lifter to the manipulator. The coupling device has a first tube lifter coupling portion and a second manipulator coupling portion, the coupling portions can be connected to one another by a connecting device. The manipulator has a driven rotary element rotatable about a manipulator axis of rotation. The coupling device includes a gearbox configured to translate a rotary movement of the rotary element about the manipulator axis of rotation into a rotary movement of the end effector about the end effector axis of rotation in the connected state of the first and second coupling portions.
