3.71 The actual maintenance requirements of the functioning portion of the units will vary, but those that are chain driven need quarterly inspections and lubrication (if required) of the carrying chains, sprockets, bearings, and other moving components. Cable drives need semiannual inspections of the cables and hoisting equipment to look for signs of wear and fatigue. Guide rails and other wearing/supporting surfaces (tracks, etc.) also need semiannual inspections and at least quarterly lubrication if necessary or warranted.

A series of moulds are designed and fabricated using a 3D printer to construct the soft fingers. Figure 9 illustrates the production process. The prototype of the flexible robotic hand is developed according to the proposed palm mechanism and soft ﬁngers to verify the performance of the aforementioned hand. The linear guide rails are made of metal to ensure adequate stiffness and decrease friction. Figure 10 shows the bottom view of different configurations.
