In the manufacturing industry, grippers play a crucial role in material handling and various manipulating operations [1]. However, the limited accessibility of traditional grippers often hinders optimization of manufacturing processes. To overcome this challenge, grippers must be designed to handle objects of various shapes and sizes while considering weight and material type. In today's world, automation is increasingly important for optimizing transportation, minimizing errors, and improving output [2]. To achieve this, manipulators such as grippers must be combined with the most suitable end effectors to achieve the desired results [3]. Grippers are commonly used as material handling end effectors, and their main function is to hold and move objects in a flexible, adaptable way. To improve the efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness of grippers, this study focuses on the design and development of a 3-jaw gripper that is adaptable to the available robot. This involves analyzing the actuation and working mechanism of the gripper using various models and references, and testing the gripper to ensure it can perform desired operations. Through iterative modeling and design, an efficient and functional gripper can be developed for various pick and place operations on the shop floor. Overall, designing grippers that are adaptable, efficient, and functional is essential for optimizing material handling and other industrial processes [4]. By using innovative approaches, such as combining grippers with the most suitable end effectors and utilizing robots for automation, the design and development process can be improved to create better and more efficient grippers for material handling.
