According to an aspect of the disclosure, a robot arm gripper device includes a grip unit capable of gripping an object by a hinge movement, a power transmission unit coupled to the grip unit and transmitting power to the grip unit, and a buffer unit having one side connected to the power transmission unit and another side connected to a robot arm body, wherein the power transmission unit is movable on the buffer unit.

The present invention relates to automatic and high throughput smart, robotic, autonomous or driver operated, self-propelled field crops harvester (SPFCH) device of row crops, characterized by the need of selecting harvesting ripen crop, during relative long period of time. Harvesting is done by one or more modular robotic harvesting arms hanged on modular booms. When harvesting orchards fruits the SPFCH comprise at least one hybrid robotic arms equipped with a grabbing hand aimed to grab one or more fruit of a an adjacent fruits and also cut its connecting stem, and arm transporting mechanism that gently collects the fruits and transport them to the SPFCH main accumulation area. When harvesting cotton, the SPFCH of the invention may further comprise vacuum sucking hoses and at least one ginning unit that gin the seed-cotton during harvesting and accumulate the seeds in a self-container, and the lint by bales processed, on board by self-press.

The system comprising containment equipment is intended for the aseptic transfer of a powder, namely for emptying a container filled with powder into a collection container and/or for filling a container with powder from a storage container. The containment equipment has a working chamber surrounded by a housing. A robot is installed in the containment equipment, having an arm arrangement that moves over a pivot range. If there is a collection container it has an inlet leading from the working chamber, and if there is a storage container it has an outlet leading off into the working chamber. The container can be closed at least with a first closure element. A transfer head is mounted at the inlet into the collection container and/or at the outlet of the storage container, each protruding into the working chamber. The passive part forms the double flap together with an active part contained in the transfer head.

A slim and long multifunctional gripping mechanism has a bending- and torsion-resistant structure, on which several finger, suction, magnetic head and other mechanisms for a multitude of tasks are arranged. The gripper arm is composed in sandwich configuration of several cages placed on top of each other, like a multi-stage tower. The individual cages consist of two plates in parallel in lightweight construction, with their mutual distance being ensured by several rods, spokes, wires, ropes and strings. Most of the drives are contained within the first cage after the flange. From that position, all mechanisms participating in the action of the gripper are driven by rods, shafts, ropes, chains or belts traversing the cages. Further cages are used to attach and accommodate the components of finger mechanisms. Movable cages are used as drives for finger, suction or magnetic head mechanisms. Several finger mechanisms perform a different task each.

A gripper for capping machines intended for screwing a cap onto a container adapted to being capped, in particular has a threaded neck for being capped. The gripper has a body capable of revolving on the axis of rotation, and at least two levers adapted to taking at least two different positions. The first position in which it is possible to insert a cap between the gripper levers and the second position in which the cap is locked between the gripper levers at least rotationally. At least one moving guiding shackle hinge-is mounted to the body and at least one lever which is slidingly mounted to the gripper body by means of a guide enabling movement of the lever in a horizontal direction, perpendicular to the axis of the gripper, and the end of the guiding shackle is slidingly and rotatably mounted to the at least one lever.

The present invention relates to a gripper assembly for gripping a product. The assembly comprises first and second mounting members; an actuator for causing relative movement between the first and second mounting members; and a plurality of gripper members spaced apart about a primary axis. At least one the gripper members comprise a resiliently deformable body comprising a distal end and first and second connection formations spaced from the distal end and from each other, the first and second connection formations being connected to the first and second mounting members respectively such that an axial component of movement between the first and second mounting members caused by the actuator in use imparts a rotation of the distal end of each gripper member in a direction towards and/or away from the primary axis.
