Description

Multi-jaw clamp for sequencing and sequencing system

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the technical field of sequencing equipment, in particular to a multi-clamping jaw clamp for sequencing and a sequencing system.

Background

A six-axis robot used in the related technology and a sixth-axis flange connected with the clamping jaw clamp can rotate forward and reversely for 360 degrees, when a single clamping jaw clamp is connected with the robot sixth axis and used for transferring materials, if the transfer track of another material is the same as the current transfer track, the other material cannot be transferred at the same time, and the robot can only transfer one material at a time. The single clamping jaw transfers materials for a single time with too little energy consumption, so that the production cost is increased. When the single clamping jaw transfers materials, other materials need to wait, the efficiency is low, the time cost is high, and the materials are easy to deteriorate when the materials with high timeliness requirements are produced, so that the quality of products cannot be guaranteed, and the reject ratio is increased. The tail end of the robot supports forward and backward 360-degree rotation, but the rotation angle of the single clamping jaw for taking and placing materials is not large in general, and the rotation function of the multi-axis robot is not used well.
