Pneumatic systems for automatic sorting equipment

Abstract

The aim of the research work was focused on a research of manipulators design using suction grippers. The results of the research can be applied in the design of jigs-manipulators for handling thin sheets. The FME analysis was used in the investigation to show the course of elastic deformations and stresses in stressed areas. An experimental observation of the change in the free deflection of the workpiece from the positioning of the suction cups under gravity load by means of a laser 3D scanner was carried out for the FEM deflection detection method.
