1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a support for a gripper, for a tool, or the like, in connection with an industrial robot, where the industrial robot comprises, at the end of its work arm, two plates maintained at a distance from each other for a receiver disk which is spring-loadingly supported at anti-friction or roller bodies, which is further provided with an attachment ring for the gripper and which protrudes through a plate disposed remotely relative to the work arm.
2. Brief Description of the Background of the
Invention Including Prior Art
A support of the kind set forth above is taught in the German Patent No. DE-PS 33 10 191 and it is part of a pneumatic gripper. Even though the support taught in the German Patent No. DE-PS 33 10 191 contains substantial equipment requirements, it does not allow any shifting of the lower part versus the upper part, where such shifting would make a lot of sense for the gripping of many parts.
