MECHANICAL MANIPULATOR WITH VERTICAL DRIVE AXIS AND ASSEMBLY MACHINE EQUIPPED WITH SUCH MANIPULATORS

摘要

The invention relates to a mechanical manipulator (10) of the type comprising an output shaft (12) capable of moving in axial translation, and which is pivotable about its axis (A1), of the type in which the translational movement and the pivoting movement are each controlled by a cam mechanism (16, 18), the two translating and pivoting cams (20, 22) being rotatably connected to an input shaft (28) which is driven by rotation about its axis (A2), characterized in that the input shaft (28) is substantially parallel to the output shaft (12), in that the profile of the translation cam (20) is generally transverse to the input shaft (28), and in that the output shaft (12) is translationally connected to the translation cam follower member (24) .The invention also proposes a machine for assembly equipped with such manipulators (10).
