DESIGNING A MANIPULATOR GRIP

The article discusses the process of designing an industrial manipulator grip to automate the movement of coils with copper wire. During operation, the manipulator must move the coil from the table to the rack, with the coil changing its position from vertical to horizontal. The main purpose of the research was to develop a reliable and effective mechanism for gripping, holding and moving. A pneumatic system is proposed as a key control element combining high reaction speed, energy efficiency and the ability to generate significant forces to hold loads. The grip design included calculations of the coil mass acting on the shoulder of the manipulator and the calculation of forces at the inlet and outlet of the pneumatic cylinder. The calculation results show that the developed grip provides a load capacity of up to 30 kg.
