Robot-held tool for automatically fitting sealing strips

摘要

The tool includes a frame (1) designed to be secured to the wrist of a robot, and an active portion (3) cooperating with the frame via pneumatic jacks (8) which ensure flexible and precise adaptation of the movement of the tool to the shape of the seal. The active portion is jointed to an axis (5) on the frame at right angles to the direction of the force exerted on the seal during its placement. Lateral position of the active portion is maintained by rollers.
