Method for the transport and/or handling of components

A method for transporting and/or handling components, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a manipulator arrangement with a first manipulator and at least one second manipulator, wherein the first manipulator and the at least one second manipulator are designed to grip, to transport, to hold and/or to deposit a component,
• providing a processing device for performing processing steps on the component, the processing steps comprising a first processing cycle and at least one second processing cycle,
• providing a regripping station comprising a handling device at the processing device, wherein the processing device comprises a waiting section and a regripping section for the handling device and wherein the waiting section is spaced apart from the regripping section in a horizontal direction,
• gripping the component with the first manipulator,
• performing the first processing cycle,
• moving the handling device out of the waiting section into the regripping section,
• after performing the first processing cycle, transferring the component from the first manipulator to the at least one second manipulator during a predefined regripping time by depositing the component with the first manipulator at the regripping station, resting the component at least in some sections on the processing device and supporting the component in a load-dissipating manner solely by the processing device and gripping the component from the regripping station with the at least one second manipulator, wherein the predefined regripping time is a period of time between the first processing cycle and the at least one second processing cycle,
• performing the at least one second processing cycle, and
• moving the handling device out of the regripping section into the waiting section after the regripping time.
