End Effector Coupler/Decoupler
Abstract
Coupling/decoupling device offers benefits of both stiffness and repositioning. Permits end effector to be released (decoupled) from robot arm while attached to workpiece, and realigned and recoupled to arm when end effector task completed. Relieves necessity for accurate positioning of robot and workpiece, and compensates for deformations initiated by changes in temperature as well as normal machining variations.
