ABSTRACT:
A high speed device and method for transporting work pieces from one container to another is disclosed. This high speed device utilizes a rotary wheel having a number of pick heads located along the circumference of the rotary wheel. These pick heads are utilized to lift work pieces from a container. The rotary wheel then rotates to position the next pick heads over the next workpiece which it then picks up. Once all work pieces in a container are picked up they may then be deposited in a similar manner in a receiving container. This device and method reduces the time involved in moving work pieces and reduces the cost of manufacturing.
