Adjustable stoppers for limiting the opening angle of a gripper

摘要

Adjustable stoppers for limiting the angle at which pivotal gripper jaws (200) are opened. The stoppers include a stop block (205) and at least one stopper pad (207) which is made from a shock absorbing material such as urethane. The stoppers are secured to a pivotal one of a pair of gripper jaw members of a parts gripper and positioned to abut the other of the pair of gripper jaw members. Stoppers which are provided with two or more stopper pads of different lengths are reversible and can be used to adjust the angle at which the jaw members open. <IMAGE>
