A gripping tool assembly disposed on the wrist section of a robot for gripping and moving various objects between a pick-up zone and a drop-off zone. The gripping tool assembly includes a frame having a top portion and a bottom portion with a pair of parallel lift arms secured to the bottom portion of the frame and projecting outwardly from the frame for supporting the object. A clamp is movably mounted to the frame for vertical movement between the top and bottom portions relative to the lift arms to sandwich the object between the clamp and the lift arms. The gripping tool assembly is characterized by a pusher movably mounted to the frame along a hollow tine. The pusher is mounted to a lead screw disposed within the tine wherein the lead screw horizontally moves the pusher relative to the lift arms for pushing the object toward the distal ends of the lift arms.
