Abstract
A gripping device, which is provided, in particular, as an effector for an industrial robot comprises first and second clamping jaws, which are arranged so as to be moveable relative towards each other in order to grasp a workpiece. The first clamping jaw is provided with a tongue projection and the second clamping jaw with a corresponding groove, which at least partially accommodates the tongue projection in the state in which the clamping jaws are moved towards each other in order to prevent objects or body parts from being inadvertently inserted into the space between the clamping jaws.
