CAPTURING DEVICE Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: capturing device of industrial robot has foundation in the shape of ring, pneumatic cylinder with rod having tip in the shape of cone, with cylinder being fixed in it by means of springs, guideways hard-mounted with pneumatic cylinder and containing spring-loaded tractions. One end of tractions interacts with cone by means of roll. The other end interacts with article by means of dovetail containing the support. The new feature of device lies in the fact that support on one of dovetails is made of material whose thermoelectric potential is close to that of article material, is equipped with heating element and is insulated from dovetail by means of bushing and washer made of dielectric. The support and dovetail are electrically connected with appliance for measuring thermo-electromotive force. EFFECT: facilitated manufacture. 2 dwg
