Pneumatically actuated bottom mounted device gripper with quick change tooling jaws

摘要

a gripper that can grasp an optical device. The gripper includes a jaw assembly coupled to a platform. The jaw assembly can be actuated by a fluid powered actuator to grasp a device. The fluid powered actuator may be a pneumatic cylinder. The actuator can be coupled to a pressure regulator that regulates the force exerted by the jaw assembly onto the device. The gripper may also have a speed regulator that regulates the speed of the jaw assembly. The jaw assembly may include a first jaw and a movable second jaw. The gripper jaws are coupled to the platform by fasteners in a manner that allows for interchangeability of the jaws.
