ABSTRACT:
Articulating workpiece transfer apparatus comprises a pair of identical housings each of which has a circular flange projecting from one side of the housing and abutting one another. Each flange has adjacent its periphery a beveled edge. A circular clamp has a concave groove in which the peripheral edges of the flanges are accommodated, and such clamp is operable to apply a clamping force on each flange urging the latter into face-to-face engagement with one another. Each housing has a cylindrical opening for the accommodation of an elongate transfer arm which is linearly slideable and rotatable about the axis of the arm. Each housing includes a clamp which enables and disables relative movement between the associated arm and the housing. The housings are rotatable relative to each other about an axis which passes through both flanges and which is normal to the axis of rotation of the respective transfer arms.
