Platform for robots

A method for feeding a device with workpieces by means of a robot, by means of a feed system, wherein the feed system comprises a feeding station and at least one transport carriage, wherein the feeding station comprises a robot fastening section and is designed in such a way that a workpiece holder can be reproducibly held in it unmovably in a receiving position defined relative to the robot fastening section from which a robot mounted to the robot fastening section can grasp the workpieces, wherein the transport carriage comprises at least one holding device for holding the workpiece holder in a holding position, wherein the feeding station comprises a loading device with which the workpiece holder can be brought indirectly from the holding position into the receiving position in the feeding station, wherein the loading device is configured to remove the workpiece holder from the trans port carriage and transport the workpiece holder to the receiving position, the loading device being designed such that it can push and/or pull the workpiece holder and the feeding station comprises a coupling section through which the transport carriage can be coupled with the aid of a coupling device with the feeding station such that the workpiece holder held in the transport carriage in the holding position after the coupling of the transport carriage with the coupling section has been brought into the receiving position with a horizontal and/or vertical movement of the workpiece holder, the method comprising the following procedural steps:

• a) loading the transport carriage with at least one workpiece holder and with at least one workpiece, b) moving the transport carriage to the feeding station, c) coupling the transport carriage with the coupling section of the feeding station, and d) after the coupling in procedural step c) the at least one workpiece is removed by the robot and the device is thereby fed by the robot, wherein the method takes place with interposition of a movement of at least one workpiece holder from the holding position to the receiving position by a loading device.
