Andromina Gripper 4 V1.1. These new robotic grippers presented in this post are ideal for mounting on any standard robotic arm or a robotic arm manufactured by a "Maker". Its futuristic design allows the manipulation of a variety of objects. The different holes on the grippers allow several positions of assembly.
In this post, you can see these robotic grippers to manipulate large objects. They are manufactured with a 3D printer, Prusa I3. The printer uses ABS plastic. The different 3D parts of grippers are assembled with stainless steel bolts of DIN-912 M-3 Allen bolts.
The main features of these robotic grippers are :
- The grippers are robust and light.
- The grippers allow the manipulation of large objects, with an size of 77mm.
- The grippers allow two degrees of freedom, the opening and closing of jaws, and the rotation of the gripper.
- The grippers uses two RC standard servo motors. One servo rotates between 0 to 180 degrees and the other servo is a 360 degrees servo, continuous rotation servo.
- The gripper can be connected directly to all Arduino, Raspberry Pi boards and PICAXE boards or any other board.. The boards don't need shields. We can use the standard pins of Arduino.
- The micro switch of the gripper designates the closing of the jaws.
This video shows an Andromina gripper 4 v1.1 controlled with a Arduino UNO board. The two servo motors are connected direct to the board, without shield. In this video the gripper manipulates a can of 0,33 kilograms (0,728 lb). The next pictures show the main details of this gripper.
