GRIPPER FOR A MANIPULATOR

摘要

A gripper for grasping a bag has a frame with two clamping components and two fingers which are pivotably connected to the frame. The gripper further includes a suction pad which is displaceably connected to the frame. By first grasping the bag with the suction pad and lifting it, the bag can subsequently be clamped in a simple manner by turning the gripper until the bag is located between the clamping components and the extremities of the fingers. Since the suction pad is freely movable, the bag continues to hold the same position while the gripper is being turned. The gripper further has four pins which can be stuck through the bag so as to hold it in the vertical position of the gripper.
