Abstract
An automatic handling apparatus for plate-shaped objects, including a height-adjustable magazine having compartments lying horizontally, one above the other, and a manipulator which can be moved in a linear manner and is swivelable. The manipulator is equipped with interchangeable gripping arms. The gripping arms and the plate-shaped objects are deposited in compartments of the magazine. The compartments include a coding for the size and shape of the plate-shaped objected and the associated gripping arms. A control device controls the manipulator as a function of the coding of the plate-shaped object or gripping arm to be handled.
