Grippers are used extensively in the pick and place industries. These are coupled as end effectors in an industrial work floor to realize and develop a task. The pneumatic gripper operates on the compressed air concept. A compressed air supply is linked to the gripper. The gripper opens when air pressure is provided to the piston, and it closes when air is released from the piston. The air pressure can be controlled with the help of the valve to control the force operating on the gripper. The goal is to create a pick-and-place gripper that is effective, easy, and cost-efficient.
Air is air that has a pressure that is substantially higher than that of the atmosphere. When compressed air is expanded to a lower pressure, it can be used to push a piston, like in a jackhammer; it can be used to move a shaft, like in a high-speed dental drill; or it can be expanded through a nozzle to produce a high-speed jet, like in a paint sprayer. Many pneumatic devices use compressed air as a source of energy to execute various tasks, such as riveting guns, air powered hammers, drills such as rock drills, and other pneumatic instruments. There are ways to employ compressed air in coal mining tools, lowering the risk of injury.

1.2 Scope
1. INTRODUCTION
The goal of this project is to create a pneumatic gripper for industrial use. This project focuses on picking different characteristics that provide the gripper more usefulness and versatility. The gripper dimensions, material utilised to construct the gripper, and design of the gripper 1-8 may differ from one application to the next. To address these issues, we created a prototype four-finger pneumatic gripper for soda can automation.
A pick-and-place robot is one that picks up an object and places it in a specific area. A gripper is used as an end effector by a pick and place robot. There are some ISO standards for gripper design and modelling. The major standard is ISO 14539:2000, which covers object handling with grasp-type grippers by manipulating industrial robots. Pneumatic grippers are mechanical grippers that are a cost-effective and dependable solution for a wide range of basic pick and place applications. A study was conducted to determine which type of gripper is most effective in pick and place applications, and the pneumatic gripper emerged as the winner.
1.3 OBJECTIVE 1) The pneumatic technology is being implemented. 2) Improved existing mechanisms
Compressed air is used to transmit and control energy in the pneumatic system. It is frequently utilised in industrial automation and automotive applications that require quick reaction and low load. Air is employed as the medium because it is easy to compress and store. Air is abundant and would not harm the environment in the event of a leak.
3) To employ a pneumatic system with easily available working fluid.
In current technology, most pneumatic grippers use two or three fingers grippers, which are insufficient for picking a huge object. We modified the gripper structure from a two-finger or three-finger gripper to a four-finger gripper to boost the effective grabbing power.
Khadeeruddin, et al. [1], They approach is to design of two jaw gripper, which is distinct from the traditional cam and follower gripper to control the movement of the jaws, as stated in the approach of handling of materials and mechanisms to pick and place found widely in factory automation and industrial manufacturing.
