THIS PAPER EXPLORES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A ROBOTIC END EFFECTOR WHICH DRAMATICALLY IMPROVES THE ACCURACY AND REPEATABILITY OF THE ROBOT TO WHICH IT IS ATTACHED. NAMED THE CLAMP (FOR CLOSED LOOP ASSEMBLY MICRO-POSITIONER, PATENT PENDING), THE DEVICE ALLOWS EVEN INACCURATE ROBOTS TO ACHIEVE AN ACCURACY AND REPEATABILITY ON THE ORDER OF 1/10TH OF AN INCH BY DOCKING WITH THE WORK SURFACE. THE MICRO- POSITIONER COMPONENT OF THE CLAMP DEVICE PERFORMS THE PRECISION TASKS. THE CLAMP DOCKING END EFFECTOR HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AS AN UPGRADE EXISTING ROBOTS FOR HIGHER PRECISION.
