Mechanical Gripper May 2019

thingiverse

Human: A prototype mechanical gripper is created to demonstrate one method of making a robotic gripper. The model features two connectors per claw, ensuring the claws always close parallel to each other. With a handle and trigger in place, users can operate the mechanism without relying on electronics for an easy-to-assemble educational model. Glue Mechanical_Gripper_Frame_1.STL, Mechanical_Gripper_Frame_2.STL, and Mechanical_Gripper_Frame_3.STL together to form the frame with the handle. Mechanical_Gripper_Arm_Gear_1.STL can be printed as a single piece. However, if warping occurs, Mechanical_Gripper_Arm_Gear_1_Plus_Base.STL and Mechanical_Gripper_Arm_Gear_1_Plus_Top.STL can be printed instead and glued together. Use M3 screws to attach the components to the frame. Slide Mechanical_Gripper_Rack_Circle.STL into place through the back of the frame. Update 13/06/19: Frame files with holes for screws are now available for those who prefer not to use glue.
