Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cell gripper and a cell transfer device comprising same, and to a cell gripper and a cell transfer device, which may comprise same, the cell gripper pressing and fixing both side surfaces of a cell during a cell transfer process so as to prevent the cell from sliding and separating from a transfer device, minimizing the time required for separate positioning so that takt time can be improved, and enabling productivity to be improved without increasing a device load factor. The cell gripper and the cell transfer device according to the present invention include a housing, and a grip assembly mounted in the housing, wherein the grip assembly comprises: a cell support having a cell loading groove in which the cell can enter from the upper portion thereof and be loaded; a pair of pinion gears provided at both sides of the cell support and converting vertical linear motion of the cell support into rotational motion; a pair of gear frames which are coupled to the pair of pinion gears, and which transmit rotational motion of the pinion gears; and a pair of cell fixing members which are provided at the end portions of the pair of gear frames, and which press both sides of the cell loaded in the cell loading groove and fix same.
