The broken lines in the drawings represent environmental structure and depict portions of the gripping device that form no part of the claimed design.
The gripping device has the ability to pick up objects in a tightly spaced manner with the ability to manipulate those objects while having access to the top of the objects. This eliminates the need to have module specific loading mechanisms decreasing machine cycle time and eliminating system complexity, increasing machine uptime. the gripping device is an accessory tool to a robotic arm. The gripping device couples to the robotic arm via a universal end-effector.
