Joints TRIZ Cases

Laser-cut metal plates with threaded stems align gripping equipment, compensating for large misalignments while reducing manufacturing costs.

Rotatable holding pads and a radial pressing member adjust workpiece attitude without increasing finger rigidity.

Polycaprolactone in a thermal actuator changes viscoelastic properties via Peltier heating, reducing weight compared to mechanical systems.

A prosthetic knee joint uses a spring-biased latch to engage automatically during weight bearing.

Segmented active and passive modules reduce weight while maintaining natural range of motion through elastic energy storage.

A six-degree-of-freedom sensor apparatus determines relative position between robotic components using independent detection devices.

A bistable hair-clip mechanism converts between stable stressed states to drive rapid robotic motion.

A quick disconnect tooling apparatus uses a releasable latch to secure a base module and tool module for rapid end effector changes.
