ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses a pick and place machine operable to pick up a part at a loading station and to thereafter place and release the part in a delivery station spaced at least horizontally from the loading station. The pick and place machine comprises a housing and a first member supported by the housing. The first member has free horizontal reciprocal movement on the housing with respect to the pick-up and delivery stations. A second member is supported by the first member for reciprocal movement between the first member and the pick-up and delivery stations. A rotatable post with opposing ends is mounted through the first member and has an actuating arm on one end and a follower arm on the opposing end. The follower arm has opposing ends with a follower on one end and a pivot mechanism connected to the second member on the other end. Guides are provided on the housing for engaging the follower and co-operating elements of sliding abutment means are provided on the guides and the follower. An actuator is provided on the housing for reciprocal actuation of the actuator arm.
