Structure Design and Kinematics Simulation of the Clamping Mechanism on Palletizing Robot for Wooden Floors

This paper designs an end effector for carrying several wood floors at one time. Three-dimensional model of the end effector is founded by using Solidworks, and the kinematics simulation is made by ADAMS. The results show that the designing can grab and release the floors smoothly, validate the gripper can meet the design requirement.
