Abstract
The invention relates to a holding system (1) for temporarily holding a workpiece, comprising a holding apparatus (10) that has at least one or more existing holding units (11-14) for holding a workpiece with a retaining force of the particular holding unit (11-14), a detection means (20) that is designed to quantify a change in the retaining force of the existing holding units (11-14), and an adjustment means (30) that is designed to adapt the retaining force of a further holding unit (15) based on the quantified change.
Claims15
A holding system for temporarily holding a workpiece, comprising:
- a holding apparatus that has at least one or more existing holding units for holding a workpiece with a retaining force of the particular holding unit;
- a detection means that is designed to quantify a change in the retaining force of the existing holding units;
- and
- an adjustment means that is designed to adapt the retaining force of a further holding unit based on the quantified change.
A method for adapting a retaining force for a holding apparatus, in which at least one further holding unit is provided for at least one or more existing holding units in order to hold a workpiece with a uniform retaining force of the particular holding unit, comprising:
- ascertaining a change indication in order to quantify a change in the retaining force,
- initiating an adaptation of the retaining force of the further holding unit, based on the change indication, in order to compensate for the quantified change.
A device for data processing comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing a computer program comprising commands, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- ascertain a change indication in order to quantify a change in the retaining force;
- and
- initiate an adaptation of the retaining force of the further holding unit, based on the change indication, in order to compensate for the quantified change.
A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program comprising commands, which, when the computer program is executed by a computer, prompt the computer to:
- ascertain a change indication in order to quantify a change in the retaining force;
- and
- initiate an adaptation of the retaining force of the further holding unit, based on the change indication, in order to compensate for the quantified change.
