This 2-finger parallel gripper on the end effector is normally employed in electronic manufacturing for fine handling of PCBs and electronic assemblies. Gripper jaws slide parallel to each other, providing equal gripping forces to an object.
Such handling is often used for sensitive components as it eliminates unnecessary stresses to the item and could prevent its breakage.
With PCBs, the 2-Finger Parallel Gripper can pick up, position, and place the circuit boards into whatever stages of assembly, testing, or packaging. The precision control of motion makes it suitable for very fast automated production lines where the relative movements and placement must be constant.
Also, it is very common to attach soft or special kinds of gripping pads to the jaws to ensure that no scratching or static discharge occurs, which could damage sensitive electronic components.
By allowing secure yet gentle handling of these being processed, the 2-Finger Parallel Gripper increases the product quality, reduces waste, and increases efficiency in electronics manufacturing.
In addition to its own expert engineering team, Norck Robotics provides access to a network of hundreds of top-tier system integrators, robot manufacturers, and component suppliers across the United States, Germany, and Europe.
Working with Norck Robotics reduces dependency on manual labor, increases production consistency, and secures your operations against unforeseen disruptions, quality issues, and fluctuations. This enhances your company's supply chain resilience.
Norck Robotics advances digital automation by developing custom-designed robot grippers, advanced vision systems, and innovative simulation software. With an AI-driven, data-centric approach, it enables smarter system design, optimal performance, and predictive maintenance solutions.
Norck Robotics encourages its partners to be carbon-neutral by reducing energy consumption and material waste through the efficiency of robotic automation, and prioritizes environmentally conscious suppliers.
In order to convert a standard 2-Finger Parallel Gripper so that it can handle fragile electronics or components sensitive to ESD, certain modifications must be made. For example, the gripping surfaces must be outfitted with soft or customizable pads made of non-abrasive, ESD-safe materials capable of protecting the parts and ensuring proper electrostatic discharge control.
Controlling the applied force is also very important: whether that be through force sensors attached to the gripper or an allow an adjustable set pressure, a gentle but secure grip must be guaranteed for the fragile parts. For ESD-sensitive parts, grounding methods must be considered in the operational layout so that any static charge generated from potential friction will be safely dissipated via conductive pathways or grounding wires.
Lastly, this ESD considerations extends to selecting the model precedent for the gripper. With such modifications included, a 2-Finger Parallel Gripper becomes a good candidate to safely and reliably handle delicate electronics in automated assembly or inspection.
This ensures that product integrity is maintained during course alongside being capable of accurate and reliable performance in delicate manufacturing settings.
