A handling device (1) for tubular or elongate bowl-shaped workpieces such as pipette tips (4) or cups, said workpieces preferably being transported or being able to be transported on a workpiece carrier (T) during the production of said workpieces until packaging, the workpiece carrier (T) having receiving places (5) for the workpieces, which receiving places are arranged in a grid relative to each other, preferably with the stipulation that faulty workpieces located on the workpiece carrier (T) can be detected, and preferably with the stipulation that a removal station (25) is provided, by means of which the faulty workpieces can be removed from the receiving places (5) of a workpiece carrier (T), receiving places (5) thus being freed up, freed-up receiving places (5) of the workpiece carrier (T) being able to be loaded with faultless workpieces by means of the handling device, the handling device comprising a refill magazine (2), which has magazine places (3) arranged next to each other, each magazine place having a holding element (7) that can be moved up and down and that is used to secure and to receive and release a faultless workpiece, with the additional stipulation that each magazine place (3) comprises a guide tube (6), in which the up and down movement of the holding element (7) occurs, the holding element (7) being able to be moved, together with a secured workpiece, into the guide tube (6), and that an acceleration apparatus (V) is provided, by means of which the workpiece can be accelerated out of the guide tube (6) and can be moved to a receiving place (5) of the workpiece carrier (T).
A handling device (1) for tubular or elongate bowl-shaped workpieces, wherein these workpieces are conveyed or conveyable on a workpiece carrier (T) during their production up until packaging, wherein the workpiece carrier (T) has workpiece receiving spaces (5) arranged in a grid relative to one another, such that defective workpieces located on the workpiece carrier (T) are detectable, and a removal station (25) is provided, with which the defective workpieces can be removed from the receiving spaces (5) of a workpiece carrier (T), such that receiving spaces (5) are vacated, wherein vacated receiving spaces (5) of the workpiece carrier (T) can be loaded with defect-free workpieces using the handling device, the handling device comprises a refill magazine (2) which has magazine spaces (3) arranged adjacent one another, each magazine space having:
A removal station (25) for defective tubular or bowl-shaped workpieces comprising at least one workpiece carrier (T) with upwardly open receiving spaces arranged in a grid for the workpieces, the removal station comprising:
