摘要：
Limp materials like textiles, leather, porous tissues, meat and fish fillets do represent challenges in automation. A universal gripping principle that is usable for all these materials is not known. This paper describes a new gripping principle based on a novel Coanda effect ejector meeting these challenges. This ejector allows the construction of a slim, plate-shaped vacuum gripper with multiple independent suction heads. Each suction head is powered by a newly patented lateral Coanda ejector that ensures gripping power on all soft or porous materials. The paper presents results of investigations on important parameters of the Coanda effect gripper. (c) 2008 CIRP.
