ABSTRACT:
A robot device for loading empty spools (b) and the unloading of filled spools (b') into and from wire winding machines arranged in a single file on one side of a path (4). The longitudinal axis of the path (4) is substantially parallel to the winding axes of the wire winding machines. The robot device comprises a transport carriage (2) movable along the path (4) and carrying a vertical supporting structure (1) on which is cantilevered a turret-like gripping frame (41-55) having an axis of rotation (10) which is horizontal and parallel to the path (4) and carries at least one pair of diametrically opposite self-centering clamps (P, P'), each clamp being adapted to grip a spool (B, B') the axis of which is parallel to the rotational axis (10) of the gripping frame (41-55), by clamping the end flanges of the spool (B, B'). Rotational (16, 17), locking (21-23) and displacement elements (30, 36) maintaining the gripping frame (41-45) with its clamps (P, P') on a horizontal plane rotate it around its axis of rotation and displace it horizontally parallelly to the axis of rotation so as to bring a clamp (P, P') to the side of the robot facing the winding machine and to move it towards and away from the winding machine.
