Robots have a significant impact on the automation of the manufacturing process because they enable repeatable, precise, faster, and safe execution of complex tasks. In many industries, this leads to increased productivity and reduced costs. Their function is to interact with the environment through tools or grippers. When performing tasks with a gripper, we face a range of challenges, such as considering the influence of its mass and rigidity, and manipulating workpieces of various shapes, sizes, and materials.
As part of this thesis, we will focus on the development of a robotic gripper in a 3D CAD software tool. We will encompass the modeling and development of the robotic gripper to achieve greater efficiency and reliability in manipulation and resistance welding of the A-pillar of a vehicle. For the development of the robotic gripper, we will need to consider the client's requirements, for whom we will prepare a conceptual design of the gripper. Within the concept, we will prepare proposals for construction solutions that will be appropriately evaluated according to the given requirements. For the final design of the gripper, we will perform an analysis of the load on the robotic arm and the accessibility of the welding guns. We will also create a pneumatic diagram of the gripper.
