The gripper degrees of freedom

In order to align the gripper with the bottom edge of the individual rows of packages, kinematics were developed to enable vertical movement and tilting of the gripper. The kinematics are designed in a way that the gripper is guided in parallel during lifting and no re-adjustment of the system in longitudinal direction is necessary when changing the height. This means that additional [...]

In addition to changing the height, it is also possible to change the inclination of the gripper in order to pick up packages at the bottom of the container or to correct an angular offset that can result from driving into the container over a dock leveler or local conditions, such as depth ramps.
