Zusammenfassung:	A handling system (100) for a turbine component (102) and a computerized machining system (104) are provided. A gripper (130) of the system includes a mounting arm (180) operatively coupled to a tool handler (120) of the machining system, a plurality of contact members (184) configured to collectively grasp the turbine component (102), and a first actuator (187) configured to move at least one of the contact members (184) between a release position in which the contact members receive a part of the turbine component (102) therebetween at a first longitudinal position (L1) thereof and a grasp position in which the contact members (184) grasp the part at a second longitudinal position (L2) thereof different than the first longitudinal position. The tool handler (120) and/or the turbine component (102) is linearly moved to move the gripper (130) relative to the turbine component between the first longitudinal position (L1) and the second longitudinal position (L2). A loading system allowing easier loading/unloading of the turbine component may also be provided.
