ABSTRACT:
The offset mechanical gripper is for mounting on a robot for grasping an electrical component. Two pairs of fingers are offset on L-shaped arms. The fingers in a pickup pair move toward and away from a fixed pickup plane to always hold grasped components centered on the plane. The first pair of arms is mounted on a first carriage and the second pair of arms is mounted on a second carriage so that spacing between the carriages controls spacing between the pairs of fingers. The pairs of fingers are each operated by a fluid cylinder, with adjustment of travel and sensing of non-grasp.
