What are the types of robots grippers?

The robots are used for an almost infinite variety of purposes, and depending on thepurpose of your robot, the "clamp" or its effector arm may be one of the many different designs. Whether you are lifting from inside, outside grip, or trying to get somethingimpossible for the human body to lift, there is a control for that.

the clamp
Using tweezers, scissors or hook arrangement, the "pincer"-style grip acts like a human hand. The element that is manipulated is placed between two profiles that contract, trapping the issue between them. This design is perfect for robots handling light items and / or irregularly shaped like empty boxes, packing material, toys and pieces of irregular shape materials such as rock or metal.

The hand of the air
The "Air-Hand" clamp uses a piece growing dense rubber material to press against the inside of a lifting and in this way. Think of dropping an uninflated balloon inside a cup, and then inflate it until it is tight on the sides of the bowl. You could raise under the friction created on the walls of the cup. This design is ideal for just that, robots designed to handlevessels, bowls, hollow tubes or any other material that has an empty place for easy access.

the void
The use of strong suction cups to lift an object, the "vacuum" is used to lift large pieces flat,smooth materials such as wood panels, metal, plastic and glass. The robot arm is movedinto position and secure the plants in a sealed cups or more for the material, and then sets up a powerful suction force inside. The vacuum requires less energy than any of the othertwo designs, but also more prone to accidents due to misaligned suckers who fail an airtight seal
