Abstract

Industrial grippers play an important role within automated production and assembly processes. In most cases their selection and dimensioning is done experience-based. This article presents an approach to dimension grippers automatically based on the properties of the handling object, the handling environment, the handling device and the handling process. Special attention is paid to the adaption of the operational elements, which interact with the handling object, like suction cups or jaws.
