Clamping or gripping device with a main body, with guide portions provided on the main body, with jaws which are movable along the guide portions in a direction of movement, which can be moved between an inner stroke position and an outer end-of-stroke position, the jaws each having a row-of-teeth portion with, in each case, a length extending in the direction of movement, and with multiple pinions, the axes of rotation of which lie in a plane lying parallel to the respective row-of-teeth portions, the pinions interacting with the respective row-of-teeth portion to drive the jaws.

Clamping or gripping device with extended stroke

A sensor device includes a first electrode and a first signal generation device configured to apply an electrical signal to the first electrode such that the first electrode emits a first electrical field. The sensor device further includes a second electrode located at a first distance from the first electrode and configured to pick up the first electrical field. A third electrode and a second signal generation device configured to apply an electrical signal to the third electrode such that the third electrode emits a second electrical field is included in the sensor device.

Sensor device with capacitive sensor

Drive unit of an automation component, in particular a gripping, clamping, changing, linear or pivoting unit, whereby the drive unit includes a drive for driving the movable parts of the automation component and a control unit which controls the drive, whereby the control unit includes at least one computing device, and the drive unit together with the drive, control unit and computing device is arranged in or on a base housing of the automation component.

Drive unit of an automation component, in particular a gripping, clamping, and changing or pivoting unit

The invention relates to a gripping device, including a base part and gripping fingers for gripping gripping components, which gripping fingers are movably arranged on the base part, characterized in that a clamping device is additionally provided on the base part, which clamping device interacts with at least one holding segment provided on a clamping component in order to fasten the clamping component to the base part.

Gripping device

A gripping/clamping device for gripping/clamping objects includes a drive that drives an actuator, and a jaw movably coupled to the actuator. An elastically deformable spring element is provided between the actuator and the jaw. A braking unit is provided, by either the actuator, or a movably coupled component provided between the actuator and the drive, that is fixed when an object is gripped. The elastically deformable spring element is elastically deformed. The drive has a rotating drive shaft. The braking unit fixes the rotating drive shaft. A drive transmission with an output shaft is downstream of the drive shaft. The drive transmission is provided between the drive and the actuator. The actuator is a pinion that rotates about a rotational axis. The elastically deformable spring element is provided between the jaw and a gear rack section disposed on the jaw meshing with the pinion.

Gripping or clamping device for gripping or clamping objects and method therefor

A method for determining the probability a handling truck tipping over includes determining a respective normal force acting in the z direction for at least two of at least three wheels of the handling truck. At least two normal forces are compared and the probability of the tipping of the handling truck is determined on the basis of the comparison.

Method for determining the probability of a handling truck's tipping over

The invention relates to a robot gripper having a fixing flange for detachably attaching it to a robot manipulator arm, and at least one actuator element which is supported in a frame, that actuates at least two gripper jaws indirectly or directly kinematically via at least one articulated unit. At least the fixing flange, the frame and the actuator element are manufactured integrally using a generative manufacturing method, and the actuator element is in the form of a bellows, enclosed an internal volume, which can be filled with a medium via at least one opening, and is capable of expanding, when filled with a medium, along a linear axis predetermined by the bellows design of the actuator element and of contracting, when the volume is emptied, in the opposite direction.
