Abstract: A micro-gripper includes a support to which are articulated fingers and an actuating diaphragm, adjusting the spacing of the fingers. The support being circular, the fingers may be arranged in any number around it, and the diaphragm delimits a chamber with the support assembled to an equipment for distributing fluids, the pressure of which elastically deforms the diaphragm and controls a simultaneous movement of variations in spacings of the fingers. If the diaphragm is conical and the fingers link up all around, an independence of the movements of the fingers remains.

Abstract: The micro-gripper includes a support (301) to which are articulated fingers (304) and an actuating diaphragm (305), adjusting the spacing of the fingers (304). The support being circular, the fingers (304) may be arranged in any number around it, and the diaphragm (305) delimits a chamber with the support (301) assembled to an equipment (18) for distributing fluids, the pressure of which elastically deforms the diaphragm (305) and controls a simultaneous movement of variations in spacings of the fingers (304). If the diaphragm is conical and the fingers link up all around, an independence of the movements of the fingers remains, which is invaluable for correctly gripping objects and avoiding excessive efforts. Application to the gripping of objects, which can be very small and fragile, with a determined and moderate force.
