Application Of Virtual Models In The Design Of A Robotic Gripper

Abstract

The development of the design of complex mechanisms using virtual models obtained by integrating different software packages is presented in this paper. The design, analysis and simulation of movement of the considered mechanism is carried out on the example of a robotic gripper. The SolidWorks software package is used to generate the 3D model. The virtual model and the control algorithm is realized in the MATLAB software package. An analysis of the required movements in order to achieve the production cycle of the mentioned mechanism is also carried out. By analysing certain parameters of the system, optimal characteristics of individual components were selected to obtain the required characteristics of the mechanism and a simulation of its operation was performed.
