Our experienced robotics manufacturing staff put your Pioneer Gripper through a “burn-in”
period and carefully tested it before we shipped the hardware. Our care extends beyond:
Besides the companion resources listed above that bring the whole community of Pioneer to
you, we warranty the Gripper against mechanical and electronic parts and labor defects for
one year.
Even though we’ve made every effort to make your package complete, please check the
components once again after you unpack it from the shipping crate.
