As the title suggests, this article centers around the story between customized magnetic grippers used for robots, and KUKA, about how they function in the packing line of a workshop that manufactures steel wire for radial tire.<\/p>\n
To begin with, let\u2019s learn find out w<\/b><\/strong>hat the function of a robot gripper<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0is<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n In the simplest terms, grippers are devices that enable robots to pick up and hold objects. When combined with a collaborative (or ‘cobot’) industrial robotic\u00a0arm, grippers enable manufacturers to automate key processes, such as inspection, assembly, pick & place and machine tending.<\/p>\n How does magnetic grippers used for robots work?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n In robotics, magnet grippers use a magnetized surface to grab metal items. This type of gripper doesn’t usually incorporate fingers or jaws, instead relying on smooth magnetic surfaces for handling. They\u00a0are common in industries where ferrous parts are being moved along in\u00a0assembly or packaging line.<\/p>\n
