<p>A parallel jaw gripper is disclosed and includes housing, a shaft coupled to housing, a ball screw, a nut engaged with the ball screw and at least pair of actuating mechanism. The ball screw connected to and rotates along with shaft. The actuating mechanism coupled to shaft and at least a pair of gripping pads for facilitating movement of gripping pads between operative gripping configuration and in-operative non-gripping configuration. The actuating mechanism includes at least one intermediate linkage, at least a pair of actuating linkages and at least a pair of supporting linkages. Each of the actuating linkage connected to gripping pad at one end and intermediate link at the other end and pivotally movable towards and away from each other. The actuating linkages of is selectively and interchangeably actuated based upon the configuration of the article. The supporting linkages facilitate maintaining oppositely disposed gripping pads parallel to each other.</p> |
