    Calculating Friction Force and Bore Size for Robotic End of Arm Tooling

    Hmm, the vacuum didn't have near enough force, which makes sense; crunching the numbers showed we wouldn't even be close. We may still supplement the grippers with the cups, but we'll still need the larger cylinder; It's a matter of determining the clamping force to grip the component hard...

    Calculating Friction Force and Bore Size for Robotic End of Arm Tooling

    Unfortunately, the majority of the components have already been made; speed is not the most critical, as they only load 4 parts at a time with a 35 second cycle time... We are investigating the addition of suction cups, but can only fit a 13mm; even with 2 cups, we estimated a requirement for...

    Calculating Friction Force and Bore Size for Robotic End of Arm Tooling

    Here's a photo with a few material callouts... I apologize for the black smudges, had to perform a little CYA... Edit to fix photo URL

    Calculating Friction Force and Bore Size for Robotic End of Arm Tooling

    Good morning, I need some help on a robotics application. We have an electrical component, which fits into a plug to have software loaded; a robot picks up the component, puts it in the plug, and once software is loaded, moves the component to an unload bin. Space constraints mean we used a...
