Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 A view of a clamping unit 1 according to the invention and an assembly 2 according to the invention is shown. In the exemplary embodiment, component 2 is a valve 3 for controlling air flow. Between the clamping unit 1 and the component 2 a connection 4 can be established and released. figure 1 Connection 4 is released. figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the clamping unit 1 and assembly 2 is shown in which the connection 4 has been established. refer to figure 1 and figure 2 , the clamping unit 1 comprises an assembly clamp 5 having a first clamping finger 6a and a second clamping finger 6b. exist figure 1 The middle part shows the clamping fingers 6a transparently. Such as figure 1 As indicated by the arrows in , the clamping fingers 6a and 6b are movable axially relative to each other into a clamping position and axially away from each other into a release position. Such as figure 1 As shown, the release position of the clamping fingers 6a and 6b cor...

Abstract

The invention relates to a gripping unit with at least one assembly gripper. The assembly gripper is used for the automated assembly of a component having at least one holding region. The component can be gripped in a corresponding holding region through the assembly gripper. Therefore, the assembly gripper may include two gripping fingers that may be axially adjustable towards one another into agripping position where the component is securable between the two gripping fingers, and that may be axially adjustable away from one another into a released position where the component is releasablefrom the two gripping fingers. Each gripping finger is provided with a gripping contour which is applied in the correspondingly formed holding region of the component. According to the invention, thegripping contour and / or the gripping contour is at least partially axially convex or axially concave such that a correspondingly formed holding region of the component can be secured in a form-fitting manner in a gripping position between the gripping fingers. The invention also relates to a component and a releasable connection between the gripping unit and the component.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a clamping unit for automatic assembly of a component, the component and a releasable connection between the component and the clamping unit. Background technique [0002] During the production of multi-part components, a plurality of components which are constructed differently from one another are often assembled to one another and, if necessary, joined to one another. Due to the non-uniform geometry of the differently configured components, it is currently not possible to assemble differently configured components with the same clamping unit. During assembly, the components can thus be brought together manually or with specially adapted clamping units. On the downside, manual assembly is costly and error-prone. When assembling automation, many different tools must exist, so this solution is also not economically attractive. In addition, sufficient assembly forces cannot be introduced into the corresponding components by m...
