GRIP OF INDUSTRIAL ROBOT Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: machine engineering, possibly holding, accurate mounting or assembling of parts at monitoring such operations. SUBSTANCE: grip includes body in the form of tube on working end of which changeable sleeve with nozzle is mounted. Said nozzle is connected through cavity of tube with monitoring unit and with compressed air source. Grip also includes inflatable elastic envelope secured to outer lateral surface of tube and connected through controllable throttle with compressed air source; controllable stop having position pickup and mounted on outer lateral surface of tube between elastic envelope and end of tube opposite relative to its working end. Inflatable elastic envelope is in the form of set of lengthwise pneumatic chambers arranged along perimeter of outer lateral surface of tube. Each pneumatic chamber has duct connecting it through valve unit with compressed air source. Supply output of valve unit is provided with controllable throttle. Cavity of tube is connected with pneumatic distributor whose working outlet is connected with pneumoelectric converter and whose atmospheric inlet is connected with monitoring unit. Control inlets of valve units, pneumatic distributor and outlets of monitoring unit, position pickup, pneumoelectric converter are connected with control unit. EFFECT: improved design of grip allowing to provide additional freedom degree and reliable holding of part, increased effectiveness of grip. 2 cl, 4 dwg
