Existing robotic arm grippers typically have only one gripper arm driven, making it difficult to achieve maximum stroke control of both grippers with a single drive device, resulting in high energy consumption.

Method used

The system adopts a combination structure of guide push block and translation driver. The guide push block has inclined guide structure on both sides that is slidably connected to the inclined push structure of the claw arm. The translation driver stretches the guide push block to drive the two claw arms to open or clamp, thereby achieving maximum stroke control of the two claw arms.

Benefits of technology

The maximum stroke control of the two gripper arms is achieved using a single driver, which reduces energy consumption and improves clamping efficiency.
