    Abstract: A gripper claw has replaceable gripper fingers and two gripper jaws each with a first jaw flange. The jaws are fastened to respective jaw flanges and are movable on linear guides, toward and away from one another. Each jaw has a holding mandrel, with holding cone. Each finger is reversibly insertable into one gripper jaw and has a finger base with depression complementary to a respective cone. The cone has a length that is at least one-third of its largest diameter, and its smallest diameter is at most 90% of the largest cone diameter. The jaws and the bases form a holding mechanism which holds the fingers in a stop position on a respective gripper jaw and they form a stabilizing mechanism that, with the holding cone, prevent tilting of the fingers.
