ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a robotic head that includes a pair of fingers that are adapted to be moved back and forth in parallel relationship between closed and open positions. In addition there is provided a group of interchangeable fingertip sets, with each fingertip set being formed to retrieve and hold a certain size or shaped object. Each fingertip set can be automatically attached and detached from the fingers of the robotic head. In particular, at one single work station, the robotic head through appropriate programming can automatically interchange fingertip sets such that the same robotic head can retrieve and set various types and sizes of elements or parts at one single work station.
