Abstract

A robotic gripper, the grippers of which engage as positive-fit elements on a magazine wall. The gripper is used to grip magazines for lead frames. This prevents any pressure stress on the magazines. The positive-fit elements furthermore, because of their shape, prevent the lead frames from slipping out of the magazine under high accelerations.
