Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An operating device for a handling device, with a gripping section and a coupling for a gripping device, with at least a part of the coupling being at or in the gripping section, so that it is rotatable about an axis of rotation, with a reading device for reading out an information carrier with coded data being placed on the side of the griping section facing the coupling, where the reading device is designed to read out an information carrier of a gripping device coupled to the coupling regardless of the rotational position of the coupling.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. Operating device for a handling device, with a gripping section and a coupling for a gripping device, with at least a part of the coupling being located at or in the gripping section, so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, so that the coupling can assume different rotational positions, wherein a reading device for reading out an information carrier with coded information is located at the side of the gripping section facing the coupling, with the reading device being configured so as to read an information carrier of a gripping device coupled to the coupling regardless of the rotational position of the coupling, wherein the reading device has an antenna for reading a transponder, where the antenna is positioned so that it is concentric with the axis of rotation. 2. Operating device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the antenna is configured as a laminar antenna. 3. Operating device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the coupling is configured as a quick-change mechanism. 4. Operating device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the antenna is circular. 5. Operating device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the antenna has several separate sectors. 6. Handling device for handling objects, with an operating device with a gripping section and a coupling for a gripping device, with at least a part of the coupling being located at or in the gripping section, so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, so that the coupling can assume different rotational positions, wherein a reading device for reading out an information carrier with coded information is located at the side of the gripping section facing the coupling, with the reading device being configured so as to read an information carrier of a gripping device coupled to the coupling regardless of the rotational position of the coupling, wherein the reading device has an antenna for reading a transponder, where the antenna is positioned so that it is concentric with the axis of rotation. 7. Handling device according to claim 6 , with a gripping device, wherein at least one coupling element for connecting to the coupling of the operating device is located at one coupling side of the gripping device, wherein an information carrier with coded data is located at the coupling side, wherein the information carrier is a transponder.
