Gripper Testing #3

3rd and final prototype. I have drilled holes to lighten the load. The servos are a JR 517 for the up-down and a HS-81 for the "fingers". I would prefer a more torquey servo in place of the 517 but it's what I had available. The fingers can actually open 9" (tip-to-tip).

At the start, I had my radio set to my heli so you can hear me changing to my gripper setup.

I really would like to see the blueprints, i suggest that you use actual grip, it is green and can be used to keep carpets from slipping.

I still have this arm so I can take measurements, but there is no CAD as did it based on my other prototypes. And for those I just used tape and Popsicle sticks.

The gripper is made from PVC that I bought at the local HobbyTownUSA. The battery is to hold the test platform in place. The gripper is designed to be attached to a mobile base. Testing is done with RC but would be controlled by MCU in implementation.

@ketab1986 I used to dabble in personal robotics, then got into CNC, and now into Reprap :) I found that my joy was in watching the machines work in a precise way and using the code I create. The only drawback of my CNC router is the noise, now with Reprap, thee is no noise so I am using it nightly :D

it works great
