Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a method and a device for the quality control of a rotationally symmetrical body (2, 2, 2″) and a grip (4) of a handling system (5) for gripping a rotationally symmetrical body (2, 2, 2″). The aim of the invention is to improve the quality control of rotationally symmetrical bodies (2, 2, 2″) in such a way that it is faster, reliable and more economical. To this end, the grip (4) comprises grip fingers (26) having rotationally symmetrically holding elements (29, 31) for holding the body (2, 2, 2″), the holding elements (31) being mounted in the grip fingers (26) in such a way that they can be rotated about the rotational axes (29) thereof. In order to grip the body (2, 2, 2″), the grip fingers (26) are displaced on a circular path. A central drive mechanism (22; 35) is respectively provided for the rotational movement of the holding elements (29, 31) of all of the grip fingers and for the rotational movement of all of the grip fingers (26).
A method for quality control of a rotationally symmetrical body with the body being gripped by a gripper of a handling system, being transported to a working position and being optically scanned there, wherein the body is rotated at least at times about its rotation axis by the gripper in the working position.
An apparatus for quality control of a rotationally symmetrical body with the apparatus having a handling system with a gripper for gripping the body and for transportation of the body to a working position, as well as at least one electronic camera for optical scanning of the body in the working position, wherein the gripper of the handling system has gripping fingers with rotationally symmetrical holding elements for firmly holding the body, with the holding elements being designed such that they can rotate about their rotation axes.
A gripper of a handling system for gripping a rotationally symmetrical body, wherein the gripper has gripping fingers with rotationally symmetrical holding elements for firmly holding the body, with the holding elements being mounted in the gripping fingers such that they can rotate about their rotation axes.
