At present, collaborative robot grippers play an important role in automation equipment. Collaborative robot gripper, also known as finger gripper, is a clamping component used in the end effector clamping operation of robots. Due to the different densities and shapes of objects caught in assembly lines and workshop operations, when selecting grippers, it is also necessary to choose the correct gripper type and specifications based on the process to be carried out. If the wrong specifications are selected, it will not only damage the machine, but also reduce work efficiency.

What is a collaborative robot gripper?

The above has briefly introduced the gripper of collaborative robots. So, what data should be referred to when using the gripper?

According to research data and experience, before using a gripper, the gravity of the clamped object and the gripping force of the gripper itself should be fully considered. The calculation of clamping force is relatively accurate, so it should be repeatedly calculated and debugged by professionals before installation, testing, and use. Only in this way can we avoid the normal operation of robot processes on the assembly line.

Precautions for installation of pneumatic gripper:

After selecting the correct size and rules, the next step is to install the collaborative robot gripper correctly. During the installation process, it is important to ensure that the tightening torque of the threads is within the allowable range, in order to guarantee that there is no resistance during installation. That is to say, the clamping workshop and extension parts should also be kept within the specified range to avoid excessive or insufficient force on the fingers, which may affect the service life of the gripper.

The above is an introduction to the gripper of collaborative robots. In addition, considering the errors in gripper operation, the opening and closing stroke should also have a certain capacity to maintain normal operation. Be sure to pay attention to some details during installation in order to operate safely.
