摘要：
A milking device includes a mounting with four milking cups detachably fitted thereto, a robot arm for displacing the mounting from a rest position in the direction of an udder of a dairy animal, and a control system for the robot arm. The milking cups are each connected with a milk line connection to a milk line so that once the milking cups are fitted to the mounting, a first pair of the milk line connections extend in parallel in a first direction, and another pair of the milk line connections extend in parallel in a second direction, which first and second directions are parallel to a vertical plane and vertical projections of the first direction and the second direction onto a horizontal plane are oppositely directed. As a result, milking cups can be provided very compactly on the mounting without the milk lines lying in the way of one another, for example in the connection process. The mounting can therefore be narrow brought through between the hind legs of a dairy animal with less chance of touching t
