Bionically designed END-OF-ARM GRIPPER for robotized applications
The gripper was manufactured using the MJF 3D printing process (Multi-Jet Fusion) as a functionally consolidated individual part.
Material: PA12 (polyamide), powder-based
With conventional manufacturing processes, a gripper of this type would have to be assembled from at least 14 individual parts. Among them, for example, the outer and inner drive shaft with thread, as well as the individual finger links.
The gripper converts the rotary spindle movement of the drive into a complex grip movement of the 3 fingers.
In addition, the gripper has been optimized in terms of weight and material use.
There is no need for a special tool for the production of grippers of this type. Small series to larger batches can be produced directly using 3D printing. Functional, design-technical and surface-refining aspects can be adapted at any time with moderate construction effort.
