Development of a Bottle Gripping System for Corrosion Operation

부식공정을 위한 유리병 장입시스템 개발

In order to enhance the quality of the glass bottle and to preserve the contents long, corrosion of the bottle surface is often required. The corrosion operation consists of dangerous and harmful tasks using strong acid such as HF. Thus, the corrosion operation should be automatized to improve the worker's safety. The first step of the automation is to develop the bottle gripping system that automatically grips and fixes the bottle during corrosion operations. The gripping system consists of holders, holder plates, air cylinders, and bottle aligning system. This paper shows the gripping system development procedure.
