摘要:A robotic gripper is provided. The robotic gripper has a rail, a rotary actuator,and at least one slide component moveably mounted on the rail and operatively coupledto the rotary actuator. A first gripping finger is mounted to the at least one slide
component so as to move therewith, and a second gripping finger is positioned so that an
object may be selectively gripped and ungripped by the first and the second grippingfingers. In a first aspect a magnet is coupled to the rotary actuator and a magnet iscoupled to the at least one slide component so that rotation of the rotary actuatorselectively causes attraction or repulsion of the magnet coupled to the at least one slidecomponent, thus causing the gripping fingers selectively to assume open and closedpositions. In a further aspect, the rotary actuator comprises a rotatable arm. A firstextension arm is coupled to the rotatable arm and to the first slide component so thatthe first slide component moves in a first and a second direction along the rail as therotatable arm rotates in a first and a second direction, respectively. An object is grippedby placing the gripping fingers adjacent an object to be gripped and by rotating theactuator such that the gripping fingers grip the object.
