Problems solved by technology

[0015] However, this carrier has proven unsuitable for particularly large and heavy parts, the mass and inertia of which act strongly on the connection between the gripper and the part, unless a carrier of larger dimensions is used
[0016] In addition, conventional carriers can leave undesired marks on painted parts

Embodiment Construction

[0064] Arm 1 is the arm of a robotic manipulator (not shown). This arm is equipped at its end with a gripper 3 carrying a motor vehicle tailgate 5 which is now in an upside-down position with respect to its position when it is mounted on the vehicle and in the closed state. On this tailgate 5 can be discerned an upper part 7 consisting of a glass frame 7 (considering the upside-down position of the tailgate, this part is in figure 1 in the lower part) and the lower part consisting of the skin panel 9 (considering the upside-down position of the tailgate, this part is in figure 1 above), wherein the skin panels are generally arched, but consist of depressions and protrusions.

[0065] In this example, the panels are made of a thermosetting plastic material. Other possible materials are, for example, thermoplastics, steel sheets or aluminium.

[0066] Except for a few localized areas where it is thick for special reasons, such as rigidity or component fixation, the thickness ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a robot gripper for picking up and handling workpieces that are to be painted in front of fixed painting stations. The gripper is fitted with projections that are provided with grooves able to grip the skin of the workpieces.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of painting motor vehicle body parts. Background technique [0002] The painting of motor vehicle parts is often carried out in a painting line, which is a facility in which a suspension carrying a plurality of parts to be painted is lined up through a series of work stations. A painting line can therefore consist of the following series of workstations: [0003] Flammage workstations; [0004] Spraying primer (primaire) workstation; [0005] A possible drying station for drying, if the primer uses water as a solvent (in this case it is called a "water soluble" product, otherwise it is called a "vehicle" product); [0006] Spray base paint (base) workstation; [0007] Possibly again a drying station for drying, if the base coat is a water-soluble product; [0008] Spraying varnish (vernis) workstations; [0009] Heated roasting station. [0010] The products referred to as "primers", "basecoats" and "clearcoats...
