Device for controlling gripper displaced by robot for sheet part of motor vehicle, has horizontal plate whose upper surface comprises mark, where position of mark corresponds to predetermined correct position of one of two suction cups

摘要

The device has a support (6) carrying a horizontal plate (7). The support is fixed at proximity of a robot such that suction cups (4) of a gripper (3) are in contact with an upper surface of the plate. The upper surface of the plate comprises a circle-shaped mark, where position of the mark corresponds to a predetermined correct position of one of the suction cups. The plate is fixed on a rod (9) that slides vertically with respect to the support against action of a return spring (10). A radius of the mark corresponds to that of the suction cup. An independent claim is also included for a method for controlling a gripper.
