STATIC ANALYSIS TO REDESIGN THE GRIPPER, USING CREO PARAMETRIC SOFTWARE TOOLS

Within this paper is presented the optimizing activity of a clamping jaw used for gripping and fixing revolution or/and prismatic work-pieces, by the help of CREO design software, using Creo Parametric and Creo Simulate modules. The article approaches a case study, within two loading situations of the gripper jaw, mounted on an industrial arm robot, are presented. Also, CAD and finite element method (FEM) advantages have been presented.
