Articulating workpiece transfer apparatus (1) comprises a pair of identical housings (2) each of which has a circular flange (20) projecting from one side of the housing and abutting one another. Each flange (20) has adjacent its periphery a beveled edge (21). A circular clamp (27) has a concave groove (30) in which the peripheral edges of the flanges (20) are accommodated, and such clamp (27) is operable to apply a clamping force on each flange (20) urging the latter into face-to-face engagement with one another. Each housing has a cylindrical opening (17) for the accommodation of an elongate transfer arm (3) which is linearly slideable and rotatable about the axis of the arm (3). Each housing (2) includes a clamp which enables and disables relative movement between the associated arm and the housing. The housings (2) are rotatable relative to each other about an axis which passes through both flanges (20) and which is normal to the axis of rotation of the respective transfer arms (3).
Un appareil (1) articulé de transfert de pièces à usiner comprend deux ensembles identiques (2) comportant chacun un rebord circulaire (20) qui se projette d'un côté de l'ensemble et qui bute contre l'autre. Chaque rebord (20) présente juste à côté de sa périphérie un bord biseauté (21). Un dispositif (27 ) de serrage circulaire comporte une rainure concave (30) dans laquelle les bords périphériques des rebords (20) se logent, ce dispositif (27) de serrage pouvant être commandé pour appliquer une force de serrage sur chaque rebord (20) pour solliciter ce dernier en position face-à-face avec l'autre. Chaque ensemble est pourvu d'une ouverture cylindrique (17) qui sert à loger un bras (3) de transfert allongé qui peut coulisser de manière linéaire et tourner autour de l'axe du bras (3). Chaque ensemble (2) comprend un dispositif de serrage qui autorise ou interdit le mouvement relatif entre la bras associé et l'ensemble. Les ensembles (2) peuvent tourner l'un par rapport à l'autre autour d'un axe qui traverse les deux rebords (20) et qui est perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation des bras (3) de transfert respectifs.
