Gripper question?

Gripper question?

Gripper question?

(OP)
Has any one had to pick up a rubber ring internally before? Using a gripper? I've looked into oring grippers and some 3 jaw grippers, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thx for any input.

RE: Gripper question?

What exactly are you looking for? Do you want a solid model of the gripper, or the actual part to purchase?

part to purchase.. just was asking if anyone has done something similar, if not no worries.

RE: Gripper question?

I don't know.
Try a forum under "Industrial / Manufacturing Engineers".

RE: Gripper question?

We sell pneumatic grippers.  I'm not sure if I can post the name of our company. Can I?

RE: Gripper question?

Why not?  I seem to do it with every post.

Then again, why?

RE: Gripper question?

Sounds like a relatively easy thing to design -- basically a robotic end-effector -- if it's a given that the center of the ring can be found.  A 3-jaw devide that opens from the inside of the ring outward sounds about right.  If the size of the rubber ring doesn't vary that makes it almost a no-brainer . . . I would think (not knowing anything more about it than the vague description).  But I suspect it must not be as easy as all that, or why else would the OP post the question?
