SpiderGrip Geometric End Effector Tooling System Overview

The SpiderGrip system is a modular, cost-effective tooling solution designed for robotic end-effectors. It enables individual component replacement within robotic cells, reducing downtime and eliminating the need for secondary end-effectors. The system is crash test certified and incorporates automatic optical and standard Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) validation points to ensure quality and precision.

Key Features

Modular components with high strength-to-weight ratios.
Maintains dimensional accuracy after minor collisions.
Patented collar/key design and engineered breakaway base anchor for quick recovery post-collision.
Crash test certification for durability and safety assurance.
Integrated optical and CMM validation points for precise measurement and quality control.

Applications and Markets

The system is applicable across various industrial tasks such as fixture welding, pick and place operations, material handling, and geometric fixtures. It serves industries including industrial manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, appliance manufacturing, and heavy-duty sectors.

System Components

The SpiderGrip system comprises modular parts configurable to specific needs, including:

Transition Junction
Collar Assembly
Boom Key Assembly
Edge Components
Heavy Duty Mid Mount Assembly (RM4-STS)
Power Clamp (82M Series)
Base Anchor with engineered breakaway feature
Corner Junctions and Booms

Technical Specifications and Ordering Information

Detailed dimensional drawings and technical data are provided for key components. Highlights include:

Component weights (e.g., Heavy Duty Mid Mount Assembly approx. 10.4 kg).
Multiple bolt circle patterns for robot interface plates (Ø125mm, Ø160mm, Ø200mm).
Standardized hole sizes and patterns for mounting and assembly.
Ordering codes such as "EPM-01" for Heavy Duty Mid Mount with accessory plate and "EPM-BLK" for blank plates.

Design and Installation Guidelines

The system is designed for easy configuration and installation with modular parts enabling quick assembly and replacement. The breakaway base anchor protects the system during collisions, allowing rapid recovery without extensive downtime. Detailed bolt patterns and dimensions ensure compatibility with various robot models and tooling setups.

Detailed Technical Sections

1. Robot Interface Bolt Patterns

Multiple bolt circle patterns are specified, including diameters of Ø125mm, Ø160mm, and Ø200mm, with hole sizes ranging from Ø10mm to Ø20mm. Hole spacing angles include 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°, ensuring broad compatibility. Some models include insulation adding 1.5mm height.

2. Mid Mount Bolt Patterns and Anchors

Mid mount anchors feature Ø60mm bolt patterns with 40mm x 40mm mounting and 50mm face offsets. Anchors have engineered breakaway features designed to fail at specific torque thresholds (e.g., 1106–1200 ft-lb) to protect equipment. Models vary in weight from 0.25 kg to 0.31 kg.

3. Assembly Instructions

Clean mating surfaces before assembly.
Assemble breakaway anchors with X-Key and collar assemblies.
Tighten bolts evenly to specified torque: 25 N·m for 60mm collars, 30 N·m for 90mm collars.
Do not re-torque bolts after reaching specified torque.
Mount appendages to steel backbones using dowels and patch-lock bolts per NAAMS recommendations.
Install steel tethers to prevent accidental drops.

4. Collar and X-Key Components

Collar assemblies (STCCLR2-NA) and X-Key assemblies (STCXKEY-NA) are steel parts with patch-lock fasteners. Maximum bolt torque is 25 N·m, ensuring secure coupling.

5. Tether Assemblies

Tethers come in 9-inch and 16-inch lengths, made from 1/8" diameter nylon-shielded 7x19 wire rope. Installation requires flat washers and M6-30mm SHCS patch-lock bolts (user supplied).

6. Booms, Adaptors, and Spacers

Ø60mm booms and spacers include breakaway and non-breakaway types. Breakaway boom spacers are designed to fail at 800 N·m torque. Junction components are available in 2-face to 5-face configurations with precise angular and dimensional specifications for modular assembly.

7. Edge Mounting Components

Edge parts with 15mm, 25mm, and 50mm center-to-face offsets feature 40mm x 40mm mounting patterns, dowels, and key slots for precise alignment. Weights range from 0.32 kg to 0.47 kg.

8. Single End Extensions

Single end extensions (STS0010-NA) transition from Ø60mm to Ø25mm interfaces, incorporating key slots and dowels for secure attachment.

9. Calibration and Quality Notes

All components include CMM calibration marks and key slots for precise assembly. Dimensions and technical data are subject to change without notice. The breakaway design is covered under US Patent #7,331,104 and pending patents.

Critical Parameters and Best Practices

Torque specifications: 25 N·m for 60mm collars, 30 N·m for 90mm collars; breakaway torque thresholds vary by component.
Use patch-lock fasteners and flat washers for safety and reliability.
Ensure even bolt tightening; do not re-torque after reaching specified torque.
Install steel tethers to prevent accidental tool drops.
Clean and inspect mating surfaces before assembly for proper coupling.
Performance may vary if used with non-DESTACO components.

Summary of Benefits

Modularity reduces downtime by enabling individual component replacement.
Crash certification and engineered breakaway design enhance durability and safety.
Integrated optical and CMM validation points support high precision and quality control.
Wide applicability across multiple industries and robotic tasks.
Comprehensive technical data facilitates accurate ordering and installation.

Overall, the SpiderGrip Geometric End Effector Tooling System offers a robust, flexible, and efficient solution for robotic tooling, balancing strength, precision, and ease of maintenance.
