ABSTRACT:
A gripper assembly for use on robotic type devices for performing repetitive operations on machine parts that require pick-up and/or transport of such parts. The gripper assembly comprises a housing having a fluid actuated piston and a connected cam operating on a pair of slide bars to effect laterally displacement thereof so that fingers connected to the opposed ends of the slide bars close onto or grip a part to be grasped thereby. A sensor and target therefore is provided to sense the presence of absence of a part between the fingers.
