Abstract

The invention relates to pliers for clamping plates used in conjunction with a manipulator arm, comprising a rigid frame connected to a carrier such as a rigid stand or robot, and an articulation sub-assembly connected to the frame and comprising a fixed arm, a mobile arm, and a main actuator for displacing the mobile arm in translation or rotation relative to the fixed arm for closing or opening the pliers and respectively clamping the plate assembly between the arms or releasing said assembly, wherein said pliers belong to a family of pliers comprising C- and X-shaped pliers, the frame having a similar shape and appearance for all the pliers of said family. Application mainly in the family of C- and X-shaped resistance-welding pliers having similar and preferably identical frames.

Abstract

The clamp comprises a balancing module that provides one degree of freedom between the mounting and the mobile subassembly that connects together the fixed and mobile arms and a main actuator, and this module has a device for moving this mobile subassembly relative to the mounting in this degree of freedom, for example in translation, the balancing system comprising a flexible device which is connected to the mobile subassembly and which applies a force, in said degree of freedom, to at least one member connected to the mounting, and, in addition, at least one balancing actuator for moving the mobile subassembly to a balanced position relative to the mounting. Particularly applicable to electrical resistance welding clamps.
