    摘要: A modular gripper is disclosed and includes a main fixing plate, a driving module, two screw rods, two extension plates, two extension screws and two nuts. The two screw rods are arranged concentrically in the first direction, connected to the driving module, and driven by the driving module to rotate. The two extension plates are detachably docked to two sides of the main fixing plate through connection elements. The two extension screws are connected to the two screw rods, respectively. Threads of the two extension screws are continuously connected with threads of the two screw rods. The two nuts are sleeved on the two screw rods, respectively. When the two screw rods and the two extension screws are driven by the driving module to rotate synchronously, the two nuts are allowed to displace relative to the two screw rods and the two extension screws, to achieve a clamping operation.

    摘要: Provided is an attaching/detaching structure that operates reliably with simple operation. The attaching/detaching structure attaches/detaches a second connecting member (4) to/from a first connecting member (3). An operation chamber (8) formed in a base member (5) of the second connecting member (4) is connected to the outside of the base member (5) via an insertion hole (7) opened to a seating surface (6) of the first connecting member (3). Two clamp arms (10) and (11) are provided in the operation chamber (8) so as to be symmetrical around an axial center of the operation chamber (8). An engaging portion (16, 17) is formed at one end (10b, 11b) in longitudinal direction of each of the clamp arms (10, 11). An engaging member (32) protruding from the second connecting member (4) can be inserted into the insertion hole (7). A lock portion (34) in which the engaging portions (16, 17) can be engaged is formed in the engaging member (32).

    摘要: A machining system includes a robotic manipulator, a master-side automated tool changer, a master-side data transmission connector, and a plurality of end effectors. Each of the end effectors includes a machine tool, a tool-side automated tool changer coupleable to the master-side automated tool changer, and a tool-side data transmission connector coupleable to the master-side data transmission connector. A controller is in communication with the master-side automated tool changer and the master-side data transmission connector. With the master-side automated tool changer coupled to the tool-side automated tool changer of the end effector: power is transferred from the master-side automated tool changer to the tool-side automated tool changer; electrical signals are transferred between the master-side data transmission connector and the tool-side data transmission connector; and the controller identifies the end effector based on one of the electrical signals transferred between the master-side data transmission connector and the tool-side data transmission connector.

    摘要: Methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support techniques for material hand-off using a double-acting kinematic mount are described. A kinematic mount may be mounted between a flange of a robotic manipulator and with a tool for retrieval and placement of an object. The kinematic mount may include a first sub-component and a second sub-component, where a floating structure of the first sub-component may be coupled with a plate of the second sub-component by a preloading force (e.g., via one or more springs, magnets). The kinematic mount may be configured such that the floating structure may be decoupled from the plate of the second sub-component when a force greater than the preloading force is applied to a bottom plate of the first sub-component. The first sub-component may move independently of the second sub-component while decoupled, allowing the tool to align to the object during retrieval and placement.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a tool holder. Specifically, the tool holder comprises an executing end and a tool end. The executing end comprises a linear motion module and a rotating motion module. Furthermore, a first clutch and a second clutch are used for switching the operating mode therebetween the linear motion module and the rotating motion module. Hence, the present invention can provide different operating modes in a single executing end to the tool end.
