Abstract
A palletizing robot for displacing stackable objects, particularly for printed products arranged in stacks, including a gripping device arranged at an arm driven to rotate about a vertical axis, a horizontally oriented transverse member including a track along which the rotatably mounted arm is guided so as to be displaceable in the direction of the transverse member and a bearing rotatable about a vertical axis for the gripping device. The part of the arm extending in the horizontal direction is here disposed below the transverse member and the gripping device is furthermore arranged so as to be vertically displaceable by a predetermined lifting movement, particularly a lifting movement of a few centimeters, in the horizontally extending arm.

A palletizing robot for moving stacked objects, comprising:
- a substantially horizontal transverse member;
- a track means disposed on and extending along said transverse member;
- a support bearing means slidably disposed on said track means;
- an arm having first and second ends, said first end being rotatably attached to said bearing means for rotation about a substantially vertical axis, and said second end being vertically spaced below said transverse member;
- a gripping device for grasping stacked objects;
- said gripping device being pivotally attached to said second end of said arm for rotation about a substantially vertical axis;
- a guide means extending vertically downwardly from said second end of said arm for guiding said gripping device for vertical displacement thereon towards and away from said second end;
- and
- means for vertically displacing said gripping device on said guide means by a predetermined amount.
