Abstract
A quick change end effector (QCEE) system was developed and tested on a GMF model A-l robot. The QCEE allows for the automatic interconnection of up to three independent pneumatic channels for gripper actuation. The QCEE was designed for a maximum payload of 15 lb. and weighs approximately 5.4 lbs. The system was tested using pneumatic grippers for pick and place operations, and functioned well in a simulated manufacturing environment.
