Abstract
A method for moving a multi-axis or multi-axle handling system, particularly for orienting a hand of an industrial robot, with a gripping tool connected to a hand is characterized in that the movement is performed in such a way that movement-dependent moments on an article held by the gripping tool are largely eliminated and that essentially only normal forces act between the article and the gripping tool. An apparatus according to the invention is used for performing the method. This permits a safe and speed-optimized movement of handling articles, particularly during palletizing and commissioning, which leads to corresponding economic cost advantages.
