Claims
- 1. An end effector for a robotic disk certification system, comprising:
- a housing;
- a pivot block that is pivotally connected to said housing;
- a paddle that is attached to said pivot block;
- a bushing that is coupled to said pivot block;
- a spring that biases said bushing into said pivot block; and,
- a first adjustment screw that can be rotated to induce a corresponding movement of said paddle relative to said housing; and,
- an actuator that rotates said paddle relative to said housing.
- 2. The end effector as recited in claim 1, further comprising a gripper that is attached to said housing.
- 3. The end effector as recited in claim 1, further comprising a set screw that is adjusted to move said paddle relative to said housing.
- 4. The end effector as recited in claim 1, further comprising a nut that is coupled to said actuator to move said paddle relative to said housing.
- 5. An end effector for a robotic disk certification system, comprising:
- a housing
- a pivot block that is pivotally connected to said housing;
- a paddle that is attached to said pivot block;
- an actuator that rotates said paddle relative to said housing;
- a nut that is coupled to said actuator to move said paddle relative to said housing; and,
- a first adjustment screw that can be rotated to induce a corresponding movement of said paddle relative to said housing.
- 6. The end effector as recited in claim 5, wherein said actuator contains an air cushion.
- 7. The end effector as recited in claim 5, further comprising a gripper that is attached to said housing.
