Abstract

See full text

A gripper for industrial manipulators includes a body, jaws constrained to the body and activatable to hold and release a piece, an actuator of the jaws and a sensor configured to detect the presence of a piece between said jaws, is described. Advantageously, the sensor is not positioned between the jaws, in the space intended to accommodate the piece to be held, but is functionally interposed between the actuator and one of the jaws. A method for detecting the presence of a piece between the jaws of an industrial manipulator gripper includes providing a sensor usable to detect the position of a jaw with respect to the actuator of the gripper.
