Abstract: A robotic gripper is capable of withstanding the high temperatures of processes such as metal additive manufacturing. One or more of the fingers of the gripper include a casted ceramic insulator with a steel finger backing. Industrial thermocouples may attach to a finger for active temperature monitoring. An exemplary robotic gripper is adaptive, usable on a collaborative robot, and temperature resistant to over 1000° C. without introducing costly augmentations such as liquid cooling.
