GRIPPER HEAD FOR PREPARED SLIDE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel robot hand technology capable of horizontally gripping a peripheral edge of a prepared slide and sufficiently reduced in weight and thickness to a degree enough to efficiently carry the prepared slide into a narrow space on a microscope stage.SOLUTION: The gripper head 1 for a prepared slide P includes: a base 2, in which a thin coil 30 is mounted in a recessed mount part 21 and a right and a left guide rails 24 and 24 are formed on a right and a left end sides with the recessed mount part 21 between them; a movable body 6, in which a yoke 61 having a thin magnet 32 is projected from a forward/backward moving frame 60 and a right and a left slide pins 64 and 64 extend from a right and a left end sides. The right and the left slide pins 64 and 64 are assembled into the right and the left guide rail parts 24 and 24 freely to move forward and backward so that the thin magnet 32 can face the thin coil 30, and further, a three-point clamp pins 9 are provided to be suspended in each of an appropriate part of the lower surface of the base 2 close to a rear side thereof and appropriate parts of the lower surfaces of the moving body 6 and the forward/backward moving frame 60.
