Parallel Gripper Mechanism
병렬형 그리퍼 메커니즘
- Published : 1999.11.01
Abstract
A new parallel gripper mechanism is proposed in this work. This device has a parallelogrammic platform which can be flexibly folded. Therefore, this mechanism not only can be used to grasp an object having irregular shape or large volume, but also can be used as a micro-positioning device after grasping. Based on the position and kinematic analysis for this mechanism, this mechanism has been developed and the motion performance has been tested to corroborate the effectiveness of this mechanism.
