Analysis of Flow Rates in the Design of Effector for Unilateral Gripping with Active Vacuum Suction Cup

Abstract:

This article deals with the problems of the need for the required volume and flow rate in the circuit with underpressure in the design of the gripping effector with active suction cups. It presents a process of designing a vacuum generator which is required to power such effector so that it guarantees a quick and secure fixation of handling objects (O_M) at handling it with a robot. The article displays a means of determining of so-called evacuation times in the process of gripping of O_M during the handling tasks.
