Title: Gripper for pick and place robot
Post by: jeeproxy on October 09, 2008, 07:01:59 PM

I am new to this forum. Hello everyone.

I am working on a fairly simple pick and place robot that I am going to design from scratch. The idea is that is picks up a washer and places it on a sensor that measures the washer. Then the robot makes a decision on where to place the washer.

The problem I have is that I plan to purchase a gripper, and the closest thing I have found to what I am looking for is from Lynxmotion. Here is the link to the part. I am designing everything in 3d and this company can't provide me with a drawing. So I would like to know what else is available on the market that is comparable to this gripper.

I would like to have a drawing upfront so I can see if it will work without purchasing the part.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
