Equipment for the logistics of slab-shaped articles

Equipment for the logistics of slab-shaped articles, the equipment comprising:

• at least one supplying plane of at least one slab-shaped article;
• at least one robotic gripping group of said slab-shaped article provided with at least three degrees of freedom and positioned in the proximity of said supplying plane;
• movement means of said gripping group along at least one direction of movement so as to define at least one work area of said gripping group, where the movement means comprise at least one pair of sliding guides extending along the direction of movement and at least one load-bearing frame associated in a movable and sliding manner with the pair of sliding guides and supporting the gripping group and where the gripping group and the supporting frame are both mounted on the load-bearing frame;
• a plurality of temporary storage stations of said slab-shaped article positioned substantially parallel to said direction of movement;
• at least one supporting frame of said slab-shaped article supported as an integral part to said movement means along said direction of movement;
• and
• at least one unloading station of said supporting frame;
• wherein said gripping group is adapted to:
• take said slab-shaped article from said supplying plane;
• place said slab-shaped article on at least one of said storage stations;
• take said slab-shaped article from at least one of said storage stations to place it on said supporting frame, when the supporting frame is mounted on the load-bearing frame, so as to make up a final frame, the final frame comprising the supporting frame and the slab-shaped articles taken from the storage stations by the gripping group;
• and
• unloading said final frame from said load-bearing frame in said unloading station, wherein
• the supporting frame being mounted in a removable manner on the load-bearing frame and being adapted to be removed from the load-bearing frame in order to position the final frame at the point where the unloading station is located.
