ABSTRACT

The present invention discloses a gripper device using an air-tube.
Particularly, the gripper device quickly performs ‘release’ on gripping of a
product. The gripper device is designed so that compressed air for griping,
which is introduced through a first tube and accumulated in an expansion space
of a side wall of the cylindrical air-tube, is instantly discharged to the
outside through a second tube that is opened by a reverse movement of a valve
and the air-tube. Thus, the ‘release’ is quickly performed to resultantly
extremely reduce an operation time of a transfer operation in which gripping,
transferring, releasing, and returning of the product are repeated.
