Material Compositions Affects Vacuum System in Gripping Technology

Some grippers operate using Bernoulli Principle for generating a high-speed flow between the gripper plate and product surface thereby creating vacuum which lifted the product. Most of the robot grippers are not easily applicable due to the food products are often delicate, easily marked or bruised, adhesive and slippery. Feasibility observations are studied to demonstrate and obtain an overall understanding on the capability and limitations of the vacuum gripper. A substantial part of automated material handling and assembly is the interface between machine and work piece. The main objective of this paper is to highlights the importance of Vacuum Gripper in industrial robot applications which will deal exclusively with gripping of different variety of materials/parts by using vacuum gripper. The design parameter of the vacuum gripper is a critical consideration in the applications of robotics for industrial operations. In order to realize the full potential of future robotics technology, vacuum grippers must be designed more likely as human hand, both in their sensory and control capabilities as well as their anatomical configurations. This paper describes a gripping technology with vacuum system for large building components, such as two dimensional modules and three-dimensional modules. The system comprises of the gripping mechanism itself as well as its supporting environment.
