The majority of workpieces found in industry have cylindrical shapes. The design of jaws to enable the concentric handling of these workpieces by grippers with quasi-parallel jaw-closure is investigated. The jaws are given specially-shaped profiles resembling the Greek letter v. The basic equations defining such profiles are given along with an analysis of the geometrical parameters which govern the jaw dimensions. The rules for selecting the parameters to achieve compact jaw designs are enshrined in a computer program which implements these rules. By this means, optimal jaw profiles from specifications of workpiece and gripper dimensions can be determined. Sample computer outputs illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
