Robot End effectors: Introduction- types of End effectors- Mechanical gripper- types of grippermechanism- gripper force analysis- other types of gripper- special purpose grippers.

Consider typical robots

4

What could a robot do without “end effectors”?

Page 5: Robotics End Effector

End effector

5

Device that attaches to the wrist of the robot arm and enables the general-purpose robot to perform a specific task.

Two types:Grippers – to grasp and manipulate objects (e.g., parts) during work cycle

Tools – to perform a process, e.g., spot welding, spray painting

Unilateral vs Multilateral Gripper

6

Unilateral– only one point or surface is touching the object to be handled. (fig 1)Example : vacuum pad gripper & Electro magnetic gripper

Multilateral – more than two points or surfaces touching the components to be handled (fig.a)

Gripper

7

End-effector that holds or grasp an object (in assembly, pick and place operation and material handling) to perform some task.

Four Major Types of gripper1.Mechanical2.Suction or vaccum cups3.Magnetised gripper4.Adhesives

Mechanical Gripper

8

It is an end effector that uses mechanical fingers actuated by a mechanism to grasp an object.

Two ways of constraining part in gripper1. Physical construction of parts within finger.

Finger encloses the part to some extent and thereby designing the contact surface of finger to be in approximate shape of part geometry.

2. Holding the part is by friction between fingers and workpart. Finger must apply force that is sufficient for friction to retain the part against gravity.

Mechanical Gripper

To resist the slippage, the gripper must be designed to exert a force that depends on the weight of the part, coeff of friction and acceleration of part.

Mechanical Gripper Mechanism

11

Two ways of gripper mechanism based on finger movement1.Pivoting movement – Eg. Link actuation2.Linear or translational movement – Eg. Screw and cylinder

Four ways of gripper mechanism based on kinematic devices1.Linkage actuation2.Gear and rack actuation3.Cam actuation4.Screw actuation

Pneumatic or air operated Gripper

16

Equipped with roller membrane cylinder with a rolling motion replacing conventional piston cylinder.

This motion is transmitted to fingers by means of lever mechanism.

The grippers are actuated by switching valves in the circuit.

The finger stroke is limited by end stops or workpiece to be gripped.

Adhesive Gripper

18

Used to handle fabrics and light weight materials

Adhesive substance can be used for grasping action.

One contact surface is needed. The reliability is diminished with successive

operation. It is used to lift light weight object.
