A vacuum-driven rubber-band gripper

Vacuum Gripper- an Important Material Handling Tool

Varieties of robotic grippers are developed with high flexibility and multi-functional approaches. In this paper, the study is an innovative approach of a gripper for handling variable size, shape and weight of unpacked food products i.e. ‘Vacuum Gripper of Robots’ which is working on Bernoulli Principle for generating a high-speed flow between the gripper plate and product surface thereby crea...

Machine Theory Theoretical model of the grasp with vacuum gripper

Vacuum grippers are often notably diffused for grasping and moving very large and heavy objects. The absence of theoretical models able to foresee the behavior of the suction cup notably limits the applications and development of vacuum grippers. In this work, a study of grasping with a vacuum gripper has been carried out. A mathematical model is proposed for determining the forces of contact b...

Spontaneous Emission Spectrum from a Driven Three-Level Atom in a Double-Band Photonic Crystal

Abstract The spontaneous emission spectrum from a driven three-level atom placed inside a double-band photonic crystal has been investigated. We use the model which assumes the upper levels of the atomic transition are coupled via a classical driving field. The transition from one of the upper levels to lower level couples to the modes of the modified reservoir, and the transition from the oth...
