Abstract
A universal gripper is a component that consists of fine dust material enclosed in fine rubbery membrane for holding and assembly. The gripper is especially applied for quickly gripping and discharging large number of objects having complex geometries in wide applications. The objects which are in various shapes and different geometries are difficult to grasp which confirms that it is not suitable for apply in various pick and place operations. In this project, a low cost modular gripper is implemented with suitable mechanical design, structural analysis and real time analysis. In this association, the designed gripper can hold many parts and place it at once while sustaining relative distance and relative coordination at their state. The universal gripper acts as a vacuum tube to grip the object it needs to relocate. This universal gripper can hold various objects such as eggs, grocery items, industrial components, heavy objects etc., therefore, a selected experimental setup has been developed with the composition of shapeless gripper and perform simulation in holding of the different items. Results of the tests and experiments shows the proposed Universal Gripper are validated with feasibility options.
