• Gripper fingers can be designed to reduce problems when grasping.

Self Aligning Finger Pads - small rocking pads are placed on the end fingers, these are also covered with a high friction material, such as rubber. These allow some locational inaccuracy when grasping parts.

Multiple Part Gripper - the gripper has a number of holes cut for different parts. In this case the gripper can hold three different radii, and the rubber lining will help hole the part.

11.2 ADVANCED TOPICS

11.2.1 Simulation/Off-line Programming

How a robot interacts with the environment makes it difficult to program off-line. To do this successfully, a complete simulation of the robot workspace is required.

One excellent example of a simulation package is CIMStation by Silma. It allows full construction of the robots workspace, and subsequent testing.
