ABSTRACT:
A two-sided clamp for manipulating heads of paper rolls,which includes an arm having one end attached to the wrist joint of a robot and another end that carries two grasping members which are aligned parallel and outwardly facing in opposite directions. Each of the grasping members has a base plate and multiple resilient suction cups which are mounted to the base plate. The grasping members are mounted to the arm so that the clamping center point of the first grasping member is farther removed from the wrist joint of the robot in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the arm than the clamping center point of the second grasping member. The grasping members are mounted in an asymmetrical manner to the arm, which asymmetrical structure of the clamp facilitates the two-sided structure of the clamp.
