Abstract
A device for handling an artifact of substantially cylindrical shape, having a bed () and supporting means fixed to the bed () and connected to actuators. The supporting means being positioned along at least an arc of circumference lying in a plane orthogonal to the development axis α of the bed () and having rolling elements () adapted to support and handle an artifact, at least one of them being motorized. Each rolling element () is connected to one of a plurality of corresponding actuators operatively connected to each other and adapted to regulate a movement of the rolling elements () in response to forces exerted by the artifact on each rolling element (), in such a way as to distribute the forces uniformly on each rolling element () to position one or more resultants of the forces in one or more points.
