Research on Additive Technique Parameter Optimization for Robotic Gripper Construction

Designing an industrial robot gripper suitable for today’s industry is a challenging task due to the rapid evolution of products. Industrial robots are involved in machining, transfer parts, control and assembly, number tasks performed by increasing. Robots need have capability adapt new jobs consisting parts trajectories, most cases preferred end effectors grippers. In turn, grippers be flexible enough order cope with these changes. For this research, authors propose design which capable handling large variety different sizes shapes. electrically actuated four-jaw gripper, parallel movement its jaws, presented that also has fold clamping jaws two become two-jaw gripper. Since additive manufacturing techniques, techniques analyzed second part paper, setups 3D printers considered, such as infill percentage, raster angle layer height. The main material on focus PET grinded carbon-fiber reinforcement, but materials used better comparison rigidity system. This article. analysis printing parameters tested Standard D638-14 probes traction testing machine. After performing test, results compared FEA analysis. An optimal solution based experimental tests proposed manufacture design.
