Auto Grip
This feature can be set to enabled or disabled. Note
that Auto Grip functions in Tripod Grip only. Auto Grip is
activated by providing three consecutive close signals.
De-activation occurs when the hand is opened. Re-
activation is made again by three consecutive close
signals.
When Auto Grip is active, the electronics monitors
motor position for movement. If movement /slippage
of an object is detected, the finger position/grip force
is automatically altered to provide a more secure grip.
Electronic monitoring of this process occurs every
50ms.
