Device for handling workpieces and mechanical assembly with such a device

A device (1) for handling workpieces comprises a bearing structure (6) of bearing structure segments (7) and a guide device (12) for the bearing structure segments, the bearing structure segments are provided with retaining elements configured to be positioned on a workpiece and to be handled to fix the workpiece, the bearing structure segments form at least two segment configurations capable of mutually and relatively positioning controlled by a motor on the guide device (12), the plane range of a first shaft of the bearing structure (6) is changed, and at least one of the segment configuration forms multi-segment configurations (8/1, 8/2, 8/3) provided with at least two bearing structure segments (7, 27). The bearing structure segments can be mutually and relatively located controlled by the motor, and the plane range of a second shaft of a main plane of the bearing structure (6) is changed. The invention provides a mechanical assembly including the above device.
