How to handle a workpiece
With the elastic silicone SG tools, the gripper can handle a wide range of workpieces, for a high
number of applications. Different tool designs have some overlap in capability when handling
the same workpiece, but the tools have different characteristics and do have individual
effectiveness on a given workpiece.
Soft silicone
Some SG tool designs has a soft silicone part in the top of the gripper. These tools are better
suited for handling fragile workpieces and/or workpieces with a high variance in size, compared
to the hard silicone tools. This is due to the more "forgiving" nature of the soft part. The user
may experience a reduced payload compared to the hard silicone tools.
To handle a workpiece properly, the user must know some parameters that are defined by the
general conditions of the workpiece and its presentation in the application. This helps to define
which tool to choose and the actual grip width on it.
A general overview of such parameters is listed below:
•
Shape
•
Dimension
•
Weight
•
Roughness
•
Fragility
•
Orientation of pick/placement
For a better understanding of how to handle workpieces with different parameters, tests were
conducted with a SG-a-H tool, see table below.

Notice objects with high weight needs higher force asserted upon them, therefor the
small gripping width.
