  • Patent number: 11878824
    Abstract: A robot hand includes a gripping mechanism. The gripping mechanism includes a pair of gripping claws that perform opening and closing operations in a horizontal direction intersecting with an extending direction of an electric wire. The gripping claw has a lower claw portion that functions as a scooping claw by moving obliquely upward from below. Before or during a bundling operation, a control device of a robot causes the lower claw portion of the gripping claw to move obliquely upward from below to scoop up all electric wires to be bundled.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8608390
    Abstract: To reduce a size of an optical communication module.<br></br> There is provided an optical communication module 1, which includes a photoelectric conversion element package 10 to which a photoelectric conversion element 12 of either one of a light emitting element and a light receiving element is fitted so as to face one side 11a of a resin base 11, and an optical fiber coupler 20 having a light transmission hole 20c for coupling with an optical fiber in cylindrical portions 20a and 20b and mounted on the one side 11a of the resin base 11, where the photoelectric conversion element 12 and the light transmission hole 20c formed in the optical fiber coupler 20 are assembled aligned with an optical axis K.

  • Patent number: 8556524
    Abstract: To reduce optical axis misalignment in an optical communication module, the optical communication module 1 includes a photoelectric conversion element package 10 to which a photoelectric conversion element 12 of either one of a light emitting element and a light receiving element is fitted so as to face one side 11a of a resin housing 11, and an optical fiber coupler 20 mounted on the one side 11a of the resin housing 11 so as to be coupled with an optical fiber, in which the optical fiber 20 coupler includes a metal lens-holding plate 22 holding a lens 23 arranged opposite to the photoelectric conversion element 12, and a resin lens-holding frame 21 that is mounted on the one side 11a of the resin housing 11 and that houses the lens 23 held on the metal lens-holding plate 22 in a light transmission hole 21a1 formed therein, so that the lens 23 is aligned with an optical axis K of the photoelectric conversion element 12.
