摘要: Provided is a support device that supports an object to be supported, in a manner that allows the object to rotate, without rotation of the support device itself. The support device is provided with: a base part; pair of support members that are slidably provided with respect to the base part, and have arc-shaped cut-out portions which sandwich and hold a circumferential surface of an object to be supported, from both sides of the object; a plurality of first biasing members that bias the pair of support members in a direction toward each other; a plurality of bearing parts that are provided along the cut-out portions, and are for sandwiching and holding the object to be supported, in a manner that allows the object to rotate; and a plurality of second biasing members that bias the plurality of bearing parts in a direction toward the object to be supported. The plurality of first biasing members bias the pair of support members.

摘要: A robot application development system and method includes a robot application unit that determines a robot application, which defines the industrial robot in a robot workspace. An input interface receives robot application information. An object data interface receives work piece information. A gripper finger design unit determines a gripper finger design. The robot application unit determines the robot application using the robot application information. The gripper finger design unit determines the gripper finger design using the work piece information and the robot application information.

摘要: An example device includes fingers that are adjustable longitudinally and configured to grip a workpiece. A clamping or locking mechanism can be used to secure the fingers at desired longitudinal positions. In examples, a retaining component is disposed through the fingers and is configured to retain the fingers in lateral directions.

摘要: A robot apparatus includes a clamp mechanism; a transport mechanism; and a control unit. The clamp mechanism includes a first finger that has a first support surface and a housing portion and a second finger. The first support surface supports an aligned wire group that includes a plurality of wires, the housing portion includes a guide wall that is connected to the first support surface and regulates an amount of movement of the band member in a width direction. The second finger has a second support surface facing the first support surface and a facing portion being connected to the second support surface and facing the housing portion. The transport mechanism is capable of moving the clamp mechanism. The control unit controls a grip force of the clamp mechanism and a direction of movement of the clamp mechanism by the transport mechanism.

摘要: Gripper mechanism (1) comprising a stator (2) and a pair of mobile grippers moveably coupled to the stator (2) via a linear bearing (8), the stator comprising a housing (4) and a permanent magnet (3) mounted within the housing (4), the mobile gripper (19) comprising a support portion (9), a coil (11) mounted on the support portion (9), and a gripper finger (10) coupled to the support portion (9), the coil (11) configured to generate a magnetic field in opposition to a magnetic field of the permanent magnet (3) to actuate displacement of the mobile gripper relative to the stator. The gripper mechanism further comprises at least one magnetic locking mechanism (7) comprising at least a first permanent magnet (18) mounted on one of the stator (2) and the mobile grippers (19), and a complementary soft magnetic material portion or magnet mounted on the other of the stator (2) and the mobile grippers (19) configured to magnetically lock the mobile grippers in at least one of a closed or opened position of the mobile grippers (19).

摘要: Provided is a robot gripper. The robot gripper comprises: at least two finger units which symmetrically face each other; finger tips which are provided at the terminal ends of the finger units and linked with the operation of the finger units; and a driving unit connected to the finger units so as to operate the finger units. When the finger units are operated, the finger tips pinch-grip an object by moving toward an inner area, which at least two of the finger units form by facing each other, while adapting to conflicts with constraints of the external environment. A force applied to the finger tips in order to enable the pinch grip can act in a direction that raises the object while being applied toward the inner area, or act in a direction lowering the object while being applied toward the inner area.

摘要: A method for a robot to automatically find a bending position, including the following steps: step 1, establishing a gripper tool coordinate system (TX, TY, TZ); step 2, determining a user coordinate system (XA, YA, ZA; XB, YB, ZB) of rear blocking fingers (11, 21); step 3, a robot gripper moving horizontally, and detecting the state of sensors (12, 22); step 4, the robot gripper executing a rotational movement, detecting the state of the sensors (12, 22), and thereby obtaining a standard bending position. The robot automatically finds the bending position, the teaching difficulty is reduced, and the bending quality is increased. In the elevator industry, elevator door plate bending sizes are the same, but forming sizes are different. In the present invention, only one product process needs to be taught in order to satisfy elevator door plate processing with different specifications, thereby reducing maintenance costs and increasing production efficiency.
