Robot End Effector

 End Effector

Summary:

High performance, multi-function gripper end effector for the Tire Manufacturing Industry. 

Details: 

This gripper combined two functions using both a pressure sensitive clamping device and a high power vacuum mechanism.  The low profile design allows the robot end-effector better access to its target.

Project:

End Effector

Industry:

Tire Manufacturing

 Technology:

 Pneumatics / Vacuum

 Cycle Rate:

 1.5 sec.
The degrees of freedom were carefully controlled to ensure adequate compliance with sufficient stability.  Pneumatic solenoids were remotely located, on the manipulator, to enhance responsiveness.
