Abstract

The invention relates to a flexible gripping device for a part stacking system, comprising a plurality of supporting arms (20) and a plurality of gripping elements (23) attached to said supporting arms (20) at least some of said gripping elements (23) being movable with respect to the respective supporting arm (20). Each supporting arm (20) comprises at least one guiderail (21) and each movable gripping element (23) comprises a carriage (24) movable in the corresponding guiderail (21). The static friction force between each carriage (24) and the respective guiderail (21) is such that the movable gripping elements (23) are kept immobile with respect to the supporting arms (20) by means of said static friction force during the part stacking process, and said movable gripping elements (23) are positioned with respect to the respective supporting arm (20) overcoming said static friction force. The invention also relates to a part stacking system comprising a flexible gripping device and to a positioning method for positioning gripping elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flexible clamping device for a component stacking system, a component stacking system and a positioning method for positioning a clamping element of the component stacking system. Background technique [0002] It is known to use robots for gripping devices comprising a plurality of rods and a plurality of suction cups arranged in the rods for stacking the components. In order to stack parts of different shapes and sizes, the gripper must adapt to the shape of the part. [0003] It is known that gripping means must be provided for each type of part to be manipulated, and that the arm must be changed according to the part to be manipulated. [0004] In addition, clamping devices are known which comprise a drive for each rod or suction cup, so that the rod or suction cup can be moved with said drive. A disadvantage of such gripping devices is that the arms are very heavy and therefore cannot work at high speeds. [0005] DE35...
