HOLDING DEVICE, HOLDING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18200108 titled 'HOLDING DEVICE, HOLDING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a holding device that is used to grip and support a workpiece. The device includes a grip portion that holds one side surface of the workpiece, a supporting portion that supports the grip portion and moves the workpiece, a detection unit that detects the force applied to the grip portion, and a control unit that controls the angle of the supporting portion with respect to the ground.

  • The grip portion securely holds one side surface of the workpiece.
  • The supporting portion provides support to the grip portion and is responsible for moving the workpiece.
  • The detection unit is able to detect the force applied to the grip portion.
  • The control unit adjusts the angle of the supporting portion to ensure that the force detected by the detection unit does not exceed a certain threshold value when the workpiece is being moved.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Industrial manufacturing processes that involve gripping and moving workpieces.
  • Assembly lines where workpieces need to be securely held and moved.
  • Robotics and automation systems that require precise control over the gripping and movement of objects.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures that the force applied to the grip portion does not exceed a certain threshold, preventing damage to the workpiece.
  • Provides stability and control during the movement of the workpiece, reducing the risk of accidents or errors.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety by preventing excessive force on the workpiece.
  • Enhanced precision and control during the gripping and movement of the workpiece.
  • Increased efficiency and productivity in industrial processes involving workpiece manipulation.
