Abstract:
The present invention relates to a transport wheel arrangement for handling cylindrical bodies, comprising a base body (104), a negative pressure source which is intended to provide a negative pressure for holding the cylindrical bodies, a disc-shaped wheel body (102) which is rotatably mounted about its central axis (R1) on the base body (104), a drive device which is designed to set the wheel body (102) in rotary motion, at least one receiving assembly (112) for holding a cylindrical body, comprising a shaft (114) which receives a line (120) for conducting the negative pressure, a contact member (116) provided radially outside the shaft (114) which is designed to present a contact surface for a held cylindrical body, and a suction cup member (116) which is connected to the line (120) for conducting the negative pressure and is designed to hold a cylindrical body by means of this negative pressure; and a control unit which is designed to control the operation of the drive device and, if necessary, the vacuum source, wherein the transport wheel arrangement further comprises a displacement apparatus (122) which is designed to displace the contact element (116) and the suction cup element (118) of the receiving assembly (112) or at least one of the plurality of receiving assemblies (112) in a coordinated manner with respect to the wheel body (102).
