Description: |
Abstract:
A machine loader pickup device wherein a pivot arm is utilized to move it through an arcuate path in a vertical plane from a preset part pickup position to a work zone, and a linear actuator is mounted to the outer-most point of the pivot arm in a horizontal plane. The linear actuator is provided with ring means to convert its axial displacement into radial displacement of clamping balls, and the radial displacement of the clamping balls is sufficient to permit entry of eccentrically located parts or parts of varying diameters, which may thereafter be easily exited. |
