A Five-finger Pneumatic Mechanical Claw Designed by SolidWorks and Analyzed by ANSYS Workbench Simulation

Abstract

With the development of industrial automation and robotics, mechanical claws are increasingly vital in modern manufacturing. In this paper, a five-finger pneumatic mechanical claw is designed and analyzed, which simulates the human hand in its structure with high flexibility and adaptability. SolidWorks is used to model the mechanical claw in three dimensions, and its transient simulation analysis is implemented by ANSYS Workbench to evaluate the performance and reliability in practical work. The results show that such a mechanical claw with good mechanical properties and dynamic response can grasp objects of various shapes. The mechanical claw can complete the grasping action in a short time with a stable dynamic response, which meets the requirements of practical applications.
