More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a method for gripping an object by a handling system, including a robot with at least one robot arm, a gripping device which is connected to the robot arm and has a pneumatically operated suction gripper having an elastically deformable contact portion for contact with an outer surface of the object to be gripped, an identification means for identifying the outer surface of the object to be gripped and a control means which interacts with the identification means and is designed to control the robot, wherein an outer surface of an object to be gripped is identified, wherein a distinction is made between planar portions of the outer surface on the one hand and convex elevations or outer edges on the other, and wherein the suction gripper is made to approach the outer surface of the object to be gripped in such a way that at least a part of the contact portion of the suction gripper clings to a convex elevation or outer edge of the outer surface. The invention also relates to a suction gripper for use in such a method.
