ABSTRACT:
A robotized handling and transfer system for magazines of different configuration for semiconductor devices production lines utilizes magazines which are provided with standardized pick-up implements receiving elements and with an identification bar code affixed in a geometrically fixed spatial position in respect to the receiving elements. A mobile arm of the transfer robot is provided with an expansion type pick-up head, suitable for any kind of magazine. Upon each pick-up action, the mobile arm presents the picked-up magazine to a bar code reader mounted on the self-propelled robot for determining the type of magazine and consequently the area where the latter is to be deposited. The pick-up expansion head accesses from above a space confined by the structure of the magazine so it does not encumber stacking or arranging the magazines closely together.
