Rack & Pinion Robotic Gripper Jaw (Repaired Mesh)

thingiverse

Repairing the mesh of two models is a crucial step in ensuring their accuracy. The original project can be found on Thingiverse, where users have shared their robotic gripper design using a rack and pinion drive for parallel jaw movement. Viewers can see the gripper in action by watching the video on YouTube, which showcases its unique features. This robotic gripper/jaw uses a low-cost Tower Pro MG996R servo to drive both jaws directly, resulting in slightly more grip than traditional lever grippers. One of the key benefits of this design is that it offers totally parallel jaw movement, making it an ideal choice for applications where precision is essential. The design can also be easily modified to fit onto a robotic arm, opening up new possibilities for users. To build this project, users will need the following components: * Servo Motor (1): Available at Banggood * Screws and nuts: + M3x16mm Screws (4) + M3x10mm Screws (4) + M3 nuts (8) Users have several options for controlling the servo, including a dedicated servo controller or an Arduino board. Both options are available on Banggood.
