ARTICLE MANIPULATOR FOR ROBOT Abstract of the Disclosure An article manipulator for use with an industrial robot includes an upper frame adapted for fastening to the indus- trial robot and a lower frame coupled to the upper frame. A pair of lifting members operable for lifting an article are connected to the lower frame. At least one vacuum cup is coupled to the frame and is restrained to move in a plane substantially parallel to the lifting members. Sensing mechanisms are provided for sensing the position of an article relative to the manipulator and for generating electrical signals which are utilized by a controller to enable the vacuum cups to grip the article at one side and move the article onto the lifting members. Subsequently, the manipulator transfers the articles to a second position. The manipulator is suited for depalletizing and/or palletizing parallelepiped shaped articles.
