Newton Gripper
Introduction
The
Newton Gripper
is a sealed, single function manipulator which can operate at depths of up to 300 meters. The
Newton Gripper
can be smoothly opened or closed with a servo PWM signal to provide the
BlueROV2
and other subsea
vehicles with the ability to interact with the subsea environment to retrieve objects, attach recovery lines, or free a
snagged tether.
Keep ngers and other body parts away from the gripper when operating! It’s strong and has the potential to do
some damage. Notify other crew members to do the same.
Quick Start (Open and Close with PWM signal source)
1. Connect the signal wire to a signal source such as the Pixhawk on the BlueROV2 or a 3.3v microcontroller.
Yellow: PWM (3.3 volts only)
2. Connect the power wires to a power source
Red: +9-18 volts
Black: Ground
3. Provide a servo PWM pulse at 1500 μs for no movement. Provide a servo PWM pulse greater than 1530 μs to open gripper.
Provide a servo PWM pulse less than 1470 μs to close gripper.
