Title:
METHOD OF OPERATING ROBOT HAND AND PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS60143700
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Three sets of pincer units (16-18) depend from a flat palm (12), each pincer unit having a pinching gap (43) at its distal end for engaging a loaded circuit board (33) by its edges and holding it in a spaced-apart relationship with the palm. Each pincer unit includes a finger (39) having a flange (41) at its distal end and a thumb (38) slideably mounted on the finger so as to define a variable pinching gap. The fingers are mounted for prehensiling movement away from one another for bracketing a board to be picked up and toward one another so that the board to be picked up may be squeezed between them.The invention includes a method for picking up a loaded circuit board which involves bracketing a board to be picked up between a set of pincer units, squeezing the board by moving the pincer units toward one another against opposing edges of the board while simultaneously pinching each edge engaged with the pincer units.
