MANIPULATOR ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR BENDING A COMPONENT

The invention relates to a manipulator assembly (1) for transporting and/or handling components (5), in particular sheet metal components (6), and to a method for bending a component (5) by means of a manipulator assembly (1), the manipulator assembly comprising: a first manipulator (2), which has a first rotatably mounted coupling means (7) for a gripping tool (8); a second manipulator (4), which has a second coupling means (9) for a gripping tool (8); a coupler element (3), which comprises a first coupling element (10) for the first manipulator (2), a second coupling element (11) for the second manipulator (4) and a first rotatable bearing device (12) for a gripping tool (8), the first coupling element (10) comprising a second rotatable bearing device (13), the second bearing device (13) being mechanically coupled to the first bearing device (12), and a rotational motion (14) applied to the first coupling element (10) being able to be transmitted to the first bearing device (12) by means of the second bearing device (13).
