ABSTRACT

A manipulator for components, in particular sheet metal parts, includes a base
body mountable stationarily or movable along a guide arrangement, a first
pivot arm pivotally coupled to the base body via a horizontal first pivot
axis, a second pivot arm pivotally coupled to the first pivot arm via a
horizontal second pivot axis and a third pivot arm pivotally coupled to the
second pivot arm via a horizontal third pivot axis. A first axis of rotation
extending radially to the third pivot axis is formed on the third pivot arm. A
gripper support arm is rotatably coupled to the third pivot arm via the first
axis of rotation and extends radially to the first axis of rotation. A
gripping arrangement is rotatably coupled to the gripper support arm via a
second axis of rotation spaced from the first axis of rotation. A bending
installation includes the manipulator.
