Principles and Stages of New Gripper Systems Development
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2013, Vol 14, Issue 40
Abstract
The paper presents the stages of developing new, light, eco-friendly and bionic gripper systems. Gripping is achieved by means of original, self-adaptive, bio-inspired systems, with a pneumatic muscle as motion generator. The method underlying the development of these new gripping systems is based on the creation of concepts by analogy, an instrument aimed at widening the inspiration horizon in designing by using models from nature.

Energy Simulation of a Solar Thermal System for Domestic Hot Water and Space Heating
Analyzing the use opportunity of solar heating systems is based on factors such as necessary heat load, solar energy available to the location where it is implemented, auxiliary power capacity, cost of investment and its...
Aesthetic Surfaces Based on Epicycloids and Orthocycloids, Generated by Vibro-Rolling
In this paper are presented the procedures at vibro-rolling by which can be obtained surfaces that have flaws with regular forms with particularly aesthetic appearance. These surfaces may be exterior surfaces of some pro...
Research on Reconditioning Agricultural Plough by Applying Welding Hardfacing
The paper shows the components of agricultural utilities: plough and knives of the cultivators who suffer the wear processes during operation. These components are studied by the degree of wear and are fixed by welding t...
The Corrosion Characterization of Ti-Si-C Thin Films Obtained by Magnetron Sputtering Deposition
Nano-composite layers, formed by a mixture of crystalline or amorphous nano-phases, which include Ti-Si-C type layers, obtained with the help of the PVD process, have attracted lately a wide interest both in research, an...
