Milking device

Abstract

A milking device including a base frame, a functional frame coupled to the base frame and configured to move relative to the base frame with a teat detector and at least one milking cup holder with a milking cup to move relative to the milking cup holder. The functional frame can be filled relative to the base frame through an angle around at least one horizontal tilting axis transversely to a connection line between the teat detector and the milking cup holder. There may be two horizontal tilting axes, and consequently the functional frame can be subjected to a combination of a primary tilting movement and a secondary tilting movement. It is then possible to adjust an optimal level for the functional frame, and also an optimal mutual height relation of the teat detector and the milking cup in the milking cup holder.
