Master the complexities of round-stock handling with our professional Cylindrical Workpiece Clamping Manipulator drawing. Handling tubes, pipes, and solid shafts presents unique challenges, primarily regarding the stability of the “three-point contact” needed to prevent slipping or rotation. This technical blueprint provides a robust mechanical design for a heavy-duty manipulator head, specifically engineered to secure cylindrical parts during high-speed robotic transfer, machine tending, or assembly operations.

The design focuses on a self-centering jaw architecture, utilizing V-block geometry or multi-linkage fingers that automatically align the longitudinal axis of the workpiece with the center of the manipulator. By downloading this drawing from MechStream, you receive a complete breakdown of the actuator integration, the high-torque pivot points, and the interchangeable jaw inserts. This mechanism is optimized for high-payload environments, ensuring that the clamping force is distributed evenly to avoid deforming thin-walled tubing while maintaining a “fail-safe” grip during sudden accelerations.

Integrating this professional-grade manipulator drawing into your project allows you to bypass the difficult geometry calculations required for various diameter ranges. The documentation includes detailed specifications for friction-enhancing liners and mounting flanges compatible with standard industrial robot arms. Whether you are automating a CNC lathe feed or building a custom pipe-sorting system, this drawing provides the structural integrity and mechanical precision required for modern industrial robotics.
