Development of “Mechanical Hand” - New Attachment with Grasp Function for Hydraulic Excavators 840797
In order to make construction machinery more versatile, development of attachments with new functions to cover manual work in construction is inevitable.
Manual work is quite often an obstacle to increasing production in construction work. Also, it can create safety problems for workers.
This paper introduces the “Mechanical Hand” which has been developed to replace manual work. The outline of this paper is as follows:
