Einrichtung zum Halten von frei positionierbaren Bearbeitungs-Hilfsmitteln

The description refers to a device for holding freely positionable handling aids which are positionable by means of a handling device and in particular an industrial robot on a base unit which has at least one level surface on which the handling aids rest on one contact surface and are held by a retention force acting between the even surface and the contact surface, said retention force being generated by a magnetic field. The invention is characterized by the fact that the handling aids are provided by a permanent magnetic unit for generating the retention force, the base unit comprises a magnetizable material, and each handling aid has at least one removal element which, in its idle position, is located in or behind the contour of the contact surface, and which can be operated by means of an operating device to remove the handling aid in such a way that is projects above the contact surface, thus lifting the handling aid from the even surface of the base unit.
