The Methodology for the Selection of the Appropriate Sensory Equipment for the Grasping End Effectors in the Assembly Workspace

Abstract

Nowadays, there is a huge emphasis on the development of devices, technologies and process in the industry. Automation helps with it in the considerable degree, because it tries to solve the development of technique, what is characteristic sign of production, assembly, control and another process realization, what eliminates the human intervention and error rates. Automated assembly process consists of the assembly and handling operations of component connecting to the different units and final products, what is equipped with appropriate devices to eliminate the human intervention. One of the most productive solutions seems to be the deployment and the use of robots and manipulators, which realize the technological, handling and also transporting process. This contribution deals with the systematic steps for the selection of the appropriate sensory equipment used in the gripping robotic end effectors, which are characteristic for the assembly system, placed in our department laboratories.
