Abstract

The manipulator comprises a support structure 1 with a vice 5 vertically disposed capable of grasping a plate sheet 22 and carrying it to the press 23, the plate sheet performing a rigorously linear course. The support structure is intended to perform a rototranslatory motion, rotating around pivot 11 which is located corresponding to the extremity of the support structure opposite to the extremity in which the vice 5 is placed. This pivot slides along guide 13 which is located laterally with respect to the direction of advance of the plate, the direction of the guide being perpendicular with respect to the direction of advance of the plate. The energy required to transport the plate from the loading zone to the press is reduced to about one-half with respect to the energy required in similar devices of known type in which a support structure which carries the plate sheet from the loading zone to the press performs exactly the same course of the plate (see FIG. 3).
