A vacuum pick-up device and release assistance piston handle plant embryos with precise orientation control.
Curved spatial surfaces on double sliding wedge links expand contact zones, reducing surface pressure and wear in compact gripping devices.
Dynamic finger adjustment eliminates machine downtime from gripper exchanges, maintaining adaptability without increasing device complexity.
Segmented grippers and a moving tray transfer charges automatically, eliminating residual quantities in the loading container.
Cylinder stems act as shutter valves to open and close suction holes directly on the duct, eliminating turbulence from traditional valve mechanisms.
A vacuum cup assembly uses a vertically movable holder to compress and fix the suction pad against a ring fastener for secure attachment.
Magnetically coupled moving parts transfer motion to gripping elements, reducing mechanical complexity and simplifying production of interchangeable tools.
An additive manufactured gripping block seals air ducts via a movable ram, eliminating leakage and reducing assembly complexity.
A slide-in element reduces the vacuum chamber volume in a surface suction gripper to improve flow valve response behavior.
A spring-loaded locking mechanism secures the sliding grip to expand the clamping range without redesigning the base structure.
Selective suction cups maintain container orientation while preventing surface damage from mechanical contact.
Aligner device uses vertical sensor array to capture wafer outlines and calculate positional misalignment in X, Y, and theta directions.
Merged sensing layers measure contact forces and positions to resolve complexity-reliability trade-offs in robotic end effectors.
Multiple substrate holders simultaneously transport wafers between load ports and processing modules, reducing access cycles to the load lock chamber.
