Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2831087A1] The gripper/manipulator has a frame with an interface fixed to a moving member such as a robot arm, and at least one gripper for holding a component (P) in a set geometrical position relative to the frame. The frame has at least one component made from a fritted material by means of localised fusion of a powdered polymer or metallic material by the application of heat. The gripper/manipulator has a frame (12) with an interface (22) fixed to a moving member (14) such as a robot arm, and at least one gripper (16) for holding a component (P) in a set geometrical position relative to the frame. The frame has at least one component made from a fritted material by means of localised fusion of a powdered polymer or metallic material by the application of heat, e.g. in the form of a laser beam.
