On Performance of a UV-Adhesive Gripper

摘要

To avoid hard mechanical contact on finished workpiece surface, a method for clamping on optical surface is developed based on UV-curable adhesives. Grippers based on such a holding mechanism have been built up and their performance is tested. Experiments have shown sufficient stiffness with certain adhesives and the adhesive shrinkage can be alleviated by mixing additives in the adhesives.
