Best Simple Tool (cylinder) gripper mechanism for high speed translation

Best Simple Tool (cylinder) gripper mechanism for high speed translation

Best Simple Tool (cylinder) gripper mechanism for high speed translation

(OP)
Hi All

I was searching for some mechanisms , for a two finger like gripper that hold a small cylinder, like 5 cm hight and 3 cm diameter , in a high speed, (metal cylinder) , like 2 pieces per second

where can I find some Ideas , and do some analysis , how do you suggest me to do the analysis of the movement, cause the movement of the gripper is reciprocating horizontal, and it's between two dies, it might be trapped if the dimensions are wrong and the fingers break

which mechanisms might avoid this ?

Best Regards

Equipment used to make screws and nuts (called headers or boltmakers or cold forming machines) use this type of transfer mechanism. There are YouTube videos of the mechanisms in action. These can be one source of ideas.
