<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gripping device that can grip a workpiece with a suitable gripping force corresponding to a hardness of the workpiece. <P>SOLUTION: A gripping device 1 grips a workpiece 9 with a pair of arms 5. The pair of arms 5 has arm bases 5a. The pair of arm bases 5a can approach and separate each other. The distance of the pair of arm bases 5a can be changed by an opening/closing mechanism 3. One of the arms 5 has an intermediate member 5b approachably and separably provided on the arm bases 5a between the pair of arm bases 5a, an intermediate bias member which biases the intermediate member 5b toward the other arm 5, a contact member 5c approachably and separably provided on the intermediate member 5b so as to be contactable with the workpiece 9, and an end bias member that biases the contact member 5c toward the other arm 5 by the bias power different from the bias power of the intermediate bias member. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
