Abstract
SUMMARYThis paper describes the generation of profiles of jaws of robot grippers for holding parallel-sided workpieces. The profiles are effectively ruled surfaces. The line segments of the ruled surfaces are designed to contact workpieces of different thicknesses. The optimum design of these gripping surfaces is considered in this paper
