An overview of the different of grippers for industrial robots manipulators

The manipulator of an industrial robot (mechanical arm) is usually divided into two main parts - the actual manipulator and the gripper (grip). Synonyms of the term "capture" are the English words hand, gripper and jaws. In accordance with the terminology approved by the Japanese industrial standard JIS, the grip is simply called a hand brush. Actually the manipulator (without the gripper) is often called a hand, a hand of the manipulator or simply a manipulator. Between the two listed parts of the mechanical arm there is the following obvious distribution of roles. Whatever work the robot performs, first of all, it is necessary to choose the right gripper that can securely hold the working object in the process of performing the specified manipulations. However, the manipulations themselves (moving the capture with the working object) are made exclusively by the manipulator.
