ABSTRACT:
In order to configure a handling device, provided with an actuator for gripping a work piece, as well as at least two movement axes that are operatively connected to a drive and which allow the actuator to be positioned in different positions on a coordinate system, such that it has a relatively inexpensive design but can still be used for a multitude of purposes, a design is suggested for said handling system where the handling device is adapted to at least one workpiece carrier, provided with several workpiece holders on which a workpiece can be arranged, such that the handling device (1) is provided with means for positioning a reference point of the handling device (1) with the aid of the movement axes in such a way that it is located only in fixedly predetermined positions, so that at least in some of these positions the reference point is located respectively on one reference axis for one of the holders (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38).
