Design and Analyses to Determine the Minimum Acting Force of a Gripper for Handling the Parts with Robots

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a model of gripper designed for KUKA robot, together with a series of static and dynamic analyses for different loadings of it. Both the 3D design and static and dynamic analyses have been conducted using the design of Creo package with Parametric and Simulate the modules. The Gripper designed has in its composition a mechanism type rack-pinion type and a quadrilateral mechanism, for carrying out a parallel movement of jaw. It was determined the minimum force of actuation of the pinion-rack mechanism of gripper for maintaining the piece caught in gripper jaws, at the maximum speeds of rotation of the robot.
