Holder for Fragile Parts
Abstract
Fixture with many springfingers holds irregularly-shaped parts. Gripping fixture has hundreds of springfingers, each applies minute force. Total force approximates hydrostatic pressure, resulting in well-distributed load that maintains firm grip without high stress concentrations. Applied to industrial robot manipulators, fixutre enhances ability to grasp delicate parts.
