Abstract

A gripper device for gripping individual units, including a gripper unit and a holder unit, the gripper unit has a contact section for gripping an individual unit and the holder device includes a holder element. A free end of the contact section includes a lifting device for lifting an individual gripped unit, such that the contact section is shiftable underneath the individual gripped unit. The gripper unit also includes a fixing device. The handling device includes a robot device with a robotic arm and a gripper device. The system for gripping and transferring individual units includes a handling device and at least one control device. In the method, the gripper unit reaches an edge of the individual gripped unit and the lifting device raises the individual unit to move the contact section underneath the individual gripped unit. The individual unit is clamped between the fixing device and the contact section.
