Fogóberendezés

Fogóberendezés, often translated as "gripping device" or "gripper system," refers to a mechanical assembly designed to grasp and hold objects. These devices are fundamental components in automation and robotics, enabling machines to interact with and manipulate their environment.

The core function of a fogóberendezés is to apply a controlled force to an object, securing it for tasks such as assembly, material handling, sorting, or inspection. The design of a fogóberendezés varies widely depending on the application, the size, shape, weight, and material properties of the objects to be gripped.

Common types include pneumatic grippers, which utilize compressed air to actuate jaws; electric grippers, powered by motors for precise control; and hydraulic grippers, offering high clamping forces for heavy-duty applications. Magnetic grippers are used for ferrous materials, while vacuum grippers employ suction cups to lift and hold non-porous objects.

The gripping surfaces themselves can also be customized with specialized materials or shapes, such as soft jaws for delicate items or sharp teeth for rough materials. The complexity of a fogóberendezés can range from simple two-finger designs to multi-fingered robotic hands capable of complex manipulation. They are essential for extending the capabilities of automated systems.
