Pneumatic Muscle Actuated Parallel Asymmetric Gripper System with a Mobile and a Fixed Jaw

Article Preview

Abstract:

Pneumatically actuated gripper systems are frequently used in various applications due to their multiple advantage, and particularly to their specific feature known as compliance. This is what allows manipulation of fragile objects and ensures their soft contact with the gripper jaws. The paper presents and discusses such a gripper system actuated by a pneumatic muscle. Structural, constructive and functional models of a novel gripper system are presented and its main motion characteristics highlighted.
