ABSTRACT:
An exchangeable multiple function end effector tool suitable for use on the distal end of a robotic end effector includes, in combination; a mechanism for removably affixing the multiple function end effector tool onto a pair of extending fingers provided on a robotic end effector. The multiple function tool is provided with a first gripping device for acquiring a first element or component and releasably retaining it and further incorporates a second gripping device which is capable of acquiring a second element or component and releasably retaining it in the tool. Provision is made for engaging and disengaging the elements either separately or in unison. Movement, assembly or disassembly of the elements remains a function of the end effector and its control mechanisms.
