Gripping device having movable slides

A gripping device (1), which is configured for receiving a workpiece (2) to be transported, and for releasing the workpiece (2) again, comprising:

• a supporting platform (4) with a bottom side (17) and a top side (41) located opposite the bottom side (17),
• wherein the supporting platform (4) is configured, on the top side (41), with a connection interface (5), or can be coupled to a connection interface (5), wherein the connection interface (5) is configured for coupling the gripping device (1) to a manipulator, and
• a plurality of retaining means (3),
• wherein the retaining means (3) are configured for retaining the workpiece (2),
• herein the retaining means (3) are coupled to the supporting platform (4), and
• wherein the retaining means (3) have contact sides (7), wherein the contact sides (7) face away from the bottom side (17) of the supporting platform (4), and wherein the contact sides (7) tenter a joint contact plane (8),
• supply means (27), wherein the supply means (27) are configured for activating and deactivating the retaining means (3),
• wherein
• the supporting platform (4) is configured, on the bottom side (17), with at least two adjustment-slide guides (11, 12), and wherein
• at least two adjustment slides (9, 10) are configured,
• wherein the adjustment slides (9, 10) are each at least partially received or supported in at least one of the adjustment-slide guides (11, 12), and
• wherein the adjustment slides (9, 10) are slidable relative to the supporting platform (4) along a first direction (13) in the adjustment-slide guides (11, 12),
• wherein at least one of the adjustment slides (9, 10) is configured with at least one transverse guide (15), and wherein
• at least one transverse slide (14) is configured,
• so that on the transverse slide (14) at least one of the retaining means (3) is arranged, and
• so that the transverse slide (14) is at least partially received or supported in the transverse guide (15), and
• so that the transverse slide (14) is slidable relative to the adjustment slide (9, 10) along a second direction (16) in the transverse guide (15),
• wherein the first direction (13) and the second direction (16) are mutually orthogonal,
• and wherein a guide section (42) of the at least one transverse slide (14), wherein the guide section (42) is received or supported in the at least one transverse guide (15), is profiled, and
• wherein this guide section (42) is linearly extendable in the transverse guide (15).
