    摘要: A gripping apparatus is provided for transporting components from one location to another. The gripping apparatus includes a body defining a chamber and an exhaust at a first end of the body. The apparatus also includes a gripper head configured to be attached to a second end of the body opposite to the first end. The gripper head defines one or more openings and a nest having a profile configured to locate and releasably hold a component based on an air flow generated within the chamber and discharged through the exhaust. The apparatus also includes an air conveyor positioned within the chamber. The air conveyor is configured to generate the air flow through an inlet and out through the exhaust. The air conveyor defines a central bore and an exhaust port. The inlet includes an inlet port with a nozzle in communication with the central bore and the exhaust port.
