Quick-change coupling for a robot gripper employed in building bodywork in the motor vehicle industry includes a gripping plate and links to a robot's arm

摘要

In the center area of a gripping system (1) there is a gripping plate (3) that forms part of a quick-change coupling, to which part of the quick-change coupling on a robot's side can be coupled when assigned to a robot's arm. A gripper/gripping system can be kept ready in a store and be fitted with different devices like knuckle-joint tightening devices (2), clinching/centering devices, gluing devices and welding devices. The robot's arm can then grasp any required gripper from this store and also put it back again in the store.
