Grip force measurement with optical markers

PTB came up with a concept that simplifies grip force measurement by optically evaluating markers placed on the gripper jaws. In this way, it is possible to acquire the displacement and position of the grippers and then to calculate the grip force applied. The advantages are that the manufacturing effort is low, the materials can be selected freely, and metal film sensors are not required. The gripper being made of a single material, it protects the analyzed object from chemical impurities. (Technology Offer 437)
