Abstract
Combination gripping and shearing effector device, systems and methods for both shearing and gripping in tandem with a remotely actuated effector tool used in robotic and remote processing of materials, where the gripping and shearing operate in tandem with one another. In a preferred embodiment, the device can include a pair of gripping jaws, with a pair of separately movable, and integrated shearing jaws within the gripping jaws. Hydraulic actuators can control the gripping jaws to grip material, followed by the shearing jaws shearing the material. The effector devices can be remotely controlled, hydraulically opening and closing the gripper and shear jaws with a single hydraulic control circuit.
