Abstract
An end-of-arm tool assembly ( 16 ) for a robotic arm, the tool assembly comprising a housing ( 102 ) and an actuator ( 102 ) comprising two counter-moving components ( 104 ). The actuator is mounted within the housing such that both counter-moving components are movable. The tool assembly further comprises a linkage assembly ( 114 ) comprising two linkage subassemblies ( 116 a , 116 b ). Each linkage sub-assembly connects the actuator to a finger assembly ( 120, 122 ). The actuator and link-age assembly are configured such that one of the linkage subassemblies is driven by one of the counter-moving components and the other of the linkage subassemblies is driven by the other of the counter-moving components.
