Popis: In recent years, increase the demand in automobile companies, and to survive in a competitive world, and to achieve the customer target and satisfaction, the companies going through for automation. So it leads to improvement in quality and brings zero defects and also reduces the process cycle time, manpower cost and bring safety aspects. In our project, two gripper plates (six electromagnets each) are mounted on C-type gripper bracket. These electromagnets are used to hold the face of Clutch Cover plate. For forming process, the clearance between the tool and cover plate is 0.5 mm for avoiding fracture and plastic deformation. Our aim is to find the deformation of gripper bracket at Static condition. The model of robot gripper bracket is established using the SOLIDWORKS software and Finite element analysis (FEA) is done by ANSYS 17.0 and the results are compared with the optimization techniques tool. Different values of loads are applied are compared and prove the design is valid.
