Abstract
A grasping tool including a chassis equipped with a fastening part configured to be manipulated by a robotic system, a holding system including a first recessing system with a first housing configured to receive and house recessed an end of a first rolling roll and a second recessing system having a second housing for receiving and housing recessed an end of a second rolling roll, a mechanism adjusting the centre distance including a slide system between the first recessing system and the second recessing system, allowing an adjustment of the separation between the first recessing system and the second recessing system.
Claims17
A gripping tool comprising:
- a chassis equipped with a fastening part configured to be manipulated by a robotic system,
- a holding system comprising:
- a first recessing system comprising a first housing configured to receive and house recessed an end of a first rolling roll and a second recessing system comprising a second housing for receiving and housing recessed an end of a second rolling roll, and wherein the first housing has a first grasping axis for grasping the first roll and a second housing has a second grasping axis for grasping the second roll, the first grasping axis and the second grasping axis being parallel, oriented in a longitudinal direction, separated by a centre distance, in a direction transverse to the first grasping axis and to the second grasping axis,
- means for adjusting said centre distance including a slide system between the first recessing system and the second recessing system, allowing an adjustment of the separation between the first recessing system and the second recessing system, and wherein said grasping tool is configured to allow a simultaneous grasping of the two rolls consisting of the first roll and the second roll disposed parallel to each other in a roll stand, by moving the grasping tool in a direction parallel to the two rolls comprising simultaneously an insertion of an end of the first roll in the first housing through a first entry opening of said first housing and an insertion of the end of the second roll in the second housing through a second entry opening of said housing until recessings of the first roll in the first housing and of the second roll in the second housing are obtained, allowing the graspings of the rolls held cantilevered by their recessed ends.
