Practical No. 09

Aim: To Design Gripper for Pick and Place Robot


Objectives:
1. To learn how to select proper mechanism for gripping the component
2. To understand different factors to be considered during gripper design
Problem Definition
Figure shows the linkage mechanism and dimensions of a gripper used to handle a work-part for a
machining operation. Suppose it has been determined that the gripper force is to be 200N. What is
required to compute the actuating force to deliver this force of 200N.

The end effector is a device to wrist of the robot arm and invokes the general purpose robot to perform to
perform a specific task. There are wide assessments of the end effectors which are required to perform
variety of different work functions
There are 1. Grippers 2. Tools
1. Grippers –
There are end effectors used to graph and hold the object. Objectives are usually loading and unloading.
Racing path form a conveyer and arranging port is a pulley. The objects handled by the robot grippers
include cartoon battles, raw materials and mechanical tools. Objects are also held using magnets, suction
caps, etc.
Classification –
1. Single gripper and double gripper.

2. External and internal


3. Mechanical and other
1. Single or double gripper –
Only one gripper is mounted on robots wrist where as in double grippers two devices are mounted
on wrist of robots, and it handles two separate objects.
2. External or Internal Grippers –
Classification depends upon whether the part is gripped on the exterior surface or interior surface.
3. Mechanical or other –
It consists of vacuum cups, magnetic gripper, and adhesive gripper
Mechanical Grippers –
A mechanical gripper is an end effector that uses mechanical finger attached by mechanism to grip an
object. There are two ways of constraining parts in grippers.
a) Physical construction method of gripper design
b) Force against part parallel to finger surface tending to full ports
In the approach fingers must apply the force that is sufficient for friction to retain the port against
gravitation acceleration.
Following equation can be used ot determine the required magnitude of gripper force.
μ . nf . fg=ω
µ = coefficient of friction
nf = no of contacting surface
fg = gripping force
w = weight of part
The force of acceleration would be significant factor in part handling cycle.
Case I Faces of acceleration is applied in same direction of gravity force
μ . nf . fg=Iω
max accln
g=1+
grav accln
Case II force of acceleration is applied in opposite direction as that of gravity force
μ . nf . fg=ω
g = 2 x wt. of part due to acceleration x wt. of part due to gravity
Case III the acceleration is applied in direction,

Types of gripper mechanism –


They are classified according to type of kinematic devices used to actuate finger movement
a) Linkage actuation
b) Gear actuation
c) Cam actuation
d) Screw actuation
e) Rope and pulley actuation
f) Miscellaneous
2) Cam operated grippers-

3) Screw grippers –
In this screw is rotated in direction. This causes threaded block to translate in or direction opposite
to that of screw direction. The threaded gripper cause opening and closing action.
