Generally, the pick and place operation consists of guiding the robot s arm or manipulators to the targets position, picking up or releasing objects and moving the objects to new target locations using a specially designed or off the shelve grippers. Grippers are end-effectors used to grasp and hold objects for a particular assigned task.

This paper describes the development of a new gripper for the pick and place of a relay assembly line in an electronics manufacturing company. The research findings are based on case study conducted at the local electronic company.

CAD/CAM software was exploited extensively to model a geometrical design of the robot gripper. The gripper s performance was examined by studying the gripper force and control analysis.
