ABSTRACT:
A handling apparatus adapted for transferring machined pieces from one station to another. A hollow cylindrical arm is mounted vertically movable upon a frame which is laterally movable along a guide rail. Within the hollow arm are positioned an operating rod and a coaxial inner cylinder with a spring disposed between the ends of the inner cylinder and the cylindrical arm for biasing the inner cylindrical arm downwardly. A clamper including fingers which are spreadable by operation of the operational rod is formed at the lower position of the inner cylinder. Control switches for vertically moving the assembly are mounted alongside a control device positioned atop the inner cylinder and controlling the movement of the operational rod. A dog member mounted on top a rod coupled at its lower end to the lower end of the hollow arm controls the operation of the switches according to the relative vertical position of the hollow arm and the cylinder, which is sensed independent of the height of the stack of the pieces being transferred.
