# Vehicle component grabber assembly

## Abstract

A grabber assembly defines a first axis, a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and a third axis perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis, and includes a shaft extending along the third axis and defining a through-hole therein extending along the third axis, a suction head assembly disposed on the shaft and comprising a suction head configured to form a seal against a surface of a vehicle component, the suction head being fluidly coupled to the through-hole of the shaft, and a brake assembly movably supporting the shaft such that the shaft is movable along the third axis, the brake assembly comprising a braking structure that is configured to selectively immobilize the shaft along the third axis.
