General purpose hand with suction holders for multiaxis manipulator

摘要

A general purpose hand (1) for a multiaxis manipulator (RA) which includes a suction holder. The suction holder includes: a suction pad (17) to be sucked onto the handled object; an axially movable rod member (15) supporting the suction pad (17) as rotatable; a resilient member (19) for pressing the suction pad (17) toward the handled object; a first locking mechanism (20) for locking axial movement of the rod member (15); and a second locking mechanism (30) for locking rotation of the suction pad (17). The suction holder is slidably mounted on the frame member (8) carried by the multiaxis manipulator (RA).
